#CourtTV - What do YOU think? MORE HERE: www.courttv.com/tag/karen-read/?

Is the scene the house???? I promise you ..if they find a dead body in my front yard...my house will be searched, locked down and the whole neighborhood would be questioned.

That judge needs to stop sighing so loud when defence are on cross it's not a good look..

What police officer doesn’t have cameras outside of their home…. Exactly

So, she MURDERED, not accidentally killed, MURDERED her cop boyfriend in front of his cop friends house… full of cops. Make it make sense.

Yeah I lean towards Karen being innocent based on what we’ve Learned so far

It still makes no sense to me how Karen read drove 24 miles per hour in reverse in 6k pound suv and yet, the injuries to John is so inconsistent. How do you get animal scratches on your right arm? Major red flag.

I LOVE that Vinnie is reporting live at a local bar! Go Vinnie!

Someone does (or at the very least one juror) has to question why at sometime around 2AM some woman connected to that house where this body is found randomly searches for, “How long ….” That makes no sense. That is way before this “defendant” gets back in her car to find her boyfriend. That same woman also walks up to and likely into the home where this victim is dead outside of on their lawn yet NO ONE comes out from, afterward. No one is curious? There’s a dead “friend” in their yard. There’s a paramedic inside and still, nothing?! That’s enough for doubt in my mind!

I live in MA. Who can I call at the courthouse to get the judge to stop sighing during defense cross. Ugh. 😳😬🙄😨

Seems like all those cops had no problem with drunk drivers all over town !?!

Saying “it’s me, I did this” could mean nothing more than “omg. I should’ve insisted he come home with me. I left him here and now he’s gone”. She could’ve been blaming herself for leaving him there.

Makes no sense as to why absolutely no one from inside the home came outside when they saw all of those police lights, ambulance, etc. right out in front of a police officer’s home. You’d think they’d be curious and come out! Wild- such a bizarre case. I hope the jury gets it right because I don’t know which way to lean.

I think the same thing I've been thinking that it's police corruption and that Karen Read was framed!

And she missed the fire hydrant?

I believe it is the Prosecutor's that are wrong, and they know it. I'm glad you are covering this case, Vinnie.

Going in reverse at 24mph can be interperted as WHEEL SPIN IN THE SNOW

Jennifer McCabe googling how long would you survive in the snow is a bit inconvenient for the prosecution. If there was a dead cop on my front lawn I'm dam sure I wouldn't be still asleep

At the time, whether Karen hit him or Not, her response was one of SHOCK, not of a deliberate act to hurt or maim, plus She doesn't Know if she hit him, just surmising she must have, how else would he be out there Dead in the snow. Also, weren't his INJURIES those of a Beating, Not a car strike?

Thank you again Vinnie Politan & COURT TV

I have a real problem with the fact that they didn’t search the house or at the very least have the people inside come out and interview them. Because of that I don’t think we will ever know who killled John O’Keefe.

So we are suppose to believe she put her suv in reverse drove 60 ft slammed into Officer O’Keefe. He has no injuries below his neck. No injuries on his chest, waist, legs, feet? The injuries he suffered was on his head, back of hands and scratches on his arm. The owner of 34 Fairview had a German shepherd for 7 years and shortly after this incident, re homes the dog. Give me a break.

I loved listening to that defense attorney at the end! He was informative and just a fun character to hear.

I dont know Karen Read and I dont have a dog in the fight. But they will never be able to convince me that she did this. The evidence does NOT add up for the State. Not to mention all the nepotism, all the buddy buddy relationships, and lets not forget Auntie Bev on the bench! Apparently after yesterdays testimonies, they don't care about documenting accurately and/or timely manner. The EMT hit me like he was afraid for his job/life/relationships/future. Alan Jackson and David Yanneti are phenomenal attorneys. I dont know anything about Little but so far she doing well. And ADA Lally is puttin me to sleep!

Vinnie on scene is awesome!

For the amount of injuries to John's body, the damage to the car was minimal I think she's being used as a scapegoat. It wouldn't be the first time an innocent person has gone to prison for life hopefully justice will prevail but I certainly don't think she killed him

Thank you Vinnie! I didn't know where his body was in relation to the house and driveway.

Regret is not the same as remorse

Those poor kids. Lost parents twice. I hope they get psychological support.

Of course Jen McCabe didn’t go into the house until John was gone. She was trying to be discreet. But why in the world wouldn’t she go banging on the door when they first found John on the lawn TO SAVE HIS LIFE???

Absolutely a cover up. Justice for Karen Reed.

Love your coverage. I live 10 mins from where the JJ Vallow and Tylee Ryan were buried and Tammy Daybell lost her life and the care and compassion you displayed for them and their tragic cas was just impressive and awesome. You have done great covering all these cases. Thank you!

Owners changed the yard, got rid of dog.

She hit him in a drunken rage, probably didn’t mean to kill him… knocked him out and left him to freeze… that’s my opinion , but I’m open to change my mind if the evidence shows otherwise… but it’s very hard to keep a conspiracy going… one person always cracks 😮 especially with an immunity offer…

This is wonderful coverage! Excellent job, Vinnie! You are the best!

Luvin Vinnie on location !!

I don’t believe she was intoxicated to a point she couldn’t drive because she drove from the bar to the house and from the house home in a snowstorm. 😮

The worst that anyone can deduce is that she “spoiled” the kids. That is not remotely an argument worthy of her killing this man over. His brother testified, as did his sister-in-law that nothing rose to heated hatred. Even if we assume she ran him over, at best it was an accident these prosecutors based on some Medal of Honor, hero grabbing trooper conjured! Not guilty.

Thank you Vinny for your coverage on this case Kim🇬🇧

Vinnie. You really should have Melanie Little on again to talk about this case.She knows more about it than the other guests you've had on. And she continues to fight for justice for Karen Read despite being threatened and badmouthed by other KZfaqrs just because they disagree. She is articulate and knowledgeable and classy. She has brought this and many other stories to me down South in Georgia.

This case wasn’t over charged. This case relied on a trooper who they couldn’t have imagined a defense legal team smart enough to challenge combined police and prosecution arrogance!

There is no acceptable reason as to why they didn't go to the house to interview the occupants about what was happening outside. Preliminary interviews when they just arrived with KR indicated she allegedly left him outside so he could attend an after hours party at the house! And you will have an officer say he didn't see a reason to go in and interview the occupants about the events of that night!!!!?? He came across as an insincere and dishonest. And hell bent on not accepting wrong doing on that part by the police.

Here’s my thing, why would she be yelling out more than once that she hit him and her friend told her to be quiet?? And then she mentioned she wanted to take her life, someone that was not involved would never say those things not to mention, they found the red plastic from her reverse lights on the scene, most likely the reason why when she woke up later that morning she backed up into John’s car to make it look like that’s how her car got damaged. I’m thinking she was drunk got mad at him reversed her car into John and then went home, went to bed not realizing he had hit his head and froze to death and died, strictly my opinion,.. very curious to see how this plays out.

Great guests and coverage of case.

I just cannot get over the sheer amount of drinks, especially in snow like that

When the witness says 'I couldn't understand anything.' I couldn't either. Did somebody even say anything on the first one?

What an embarrassment on the police force in Boston.

This is a 50/50 case in my opinion. It could go either way but with all the public support for Karen I’m not sure the jury can truly be impartial. We will see. The only strong evidence I’ve heard from the prosecution so car is the car recording 24 MPH in reverse for 62 feet.. but I’ve been wondering what if she was stuck in the snow trying to get out and the tires were spinning. Could that be what happened? Nobody is talking about that

Why did she wait until John had left the scene before she went in to wake them up. Why didn't she go and get blankets for John. Thats the first thing I would do, especially if that was my long time friend. Id be banging their door down telling them to come outside and help and bring blankets. Especially because BA is a first responder. Come on, its unbelievable she didn't go and wake them up.

Lex Luther combined with Hannibal Lector, brilliantly said!! 👏👏👏 😂😂😂😂

An argument over donuts doesn’t make her a killer 🙄

This video is the most clear about the possibilities and the theories. The part of the video in the yard where it happened is wonderful actually, and helpful to visualise the possibilities.

I know personally from hours long commutes that I would be traveling appropriately 45mph in bad weather with eyes glues to windshield and glance down to see my speedometer was saying 60 because of loss of traction, and have to release gas pedal a bit. No fishtailing, just wheels slipping a bit to cause inaccurate speed.

I'm now craving Brisket! I can smell it from here. Great seeing you on location, Vinnie!

Awesome job Vinnie.

And now we learn Karen McCabe calls her sister but they still don’t come out? She erases that and every other call?! Why????

The toxicity of alcoholics in a relationship are at the base of this whole tragedy.

Enjoyed 😊❤

I think people in the house carried JO body out to the ford edge backed up to house in driveway then drove car to the street in front of house then took his body out of the car and put him on the lawn by the road where he was eventually found by Karen, Jen and Kerry.

Ive never met Karen Read or know her personality or her personality. She may have killed that man or may not have. Thats for a court to decide. I can say,in my opinion from what ive heard so far ,I feel the police version of the truth and circumstances is a straight lie and therefore is a coverup and by extension a frame. Point blank /Period! Additionally, Karen is Smoke ❤🎉

Most importantly think of the poor O’Keefe’s who are suffering. They gave lost so much. Let’s focus on supporting them instead of fighting amongst each other….

He wasn't beneath 6 inches of snow. His body was above the snow, right? If his body was beneath, there would be a patch of grass, that we can't see in any pictures shown so far.

When I listened I heard what the paramedic said she said.. "Is that My boyfriend?" ... ... "Is he dead?"... I Also happen to be an audio engineer... Also Im with Vinnie - Maybe the truth of what happened is some combination of both stories.

If it’s not a cover up, I am guessing it was an accident. She was drunk, hit him, and didn’t realize it. I wonder why they are going after murder and not manslaughter?

I cannot wait until this poor heart broken and stressed woman is done with this nightmare! Could not imagine her life

A good question to ask would be if she planned to attend this party or if she was just dropping him off. Because in that case I would go with the theory that maybe she dropped him offf , given it was a party at a fellow police officers house. My theory is a argument broke out on the front of the property & she began to leave & drive away after said argument and maybe it was such a heated argument she put her car in reverse in attempt to finish the conversation and while looking back turned the wheel and struck him . Could have been purposely or accident , but given no admission of guilty I would assume purposely

Why didn’t the judge Bev Cannone recluse herself from this trial? She is friends of the Alberts where John O’Keefe was found. She must stop her sighing!!

On the chat, Leezeca points out at 24:17 that Karen Read's car had anti-collision, automatic breaking, and also onstar accident alert, whatever that is. How do these systems work? Can a human over-ride these computerised systems?

How was this audio allowed into court

Glad vinnie doe covering this I can’t take 4 hours watching the trial thank you vinnie

For him to have no bruising on his hips or legs...no way he was struck by the car..I think the people in the house did it...and I know for a fact police would lock that house down if it wasn't a set up.

Yeah i think they overcharged. It's going to be really hard to prove 2nd degree murder imo

I’m not a defendant supporter. I’m a truth supporter. There’s nothing -no motive!

Where is the body cam of the first officer on the scene?

Smoking gun for the defense - Jen McCabe walking into Sgt. Brian Albert’s house on police cruiser camera when John O’Keefe was dead in the front yard.

Whooo Vinnie!

Vinnie is a real Winner, love you Vinnie. ❤

Vinnie you did a great job on this reporting- I don't feel influenced to believe either side, and that's how reporting is supposed to be. Modern day journalism has turned into a joke and just a mouthpiece for the government- but you keep it neutral, and i appreciate that.

The cops didn’t even go into the house.

The prosecutor was all over the place on the time line, it was very confusing. 🎉

I don't take it as an admission. It simply crossed her mind.

Drunk is the bottom line here!! Anything can happen....drunkenness is the issue

A really interesting discussion.

She was drunk not clueless

Driving intoxicated in that snow is crazy

That thin blue line needs to stop hope someone is willing to come forward and put their badge on the line fr

Cover up. The time line is what will get the guys in the house that beat him up. There's evidence in the house

She's innocent. Way too many coincidences and inconsistency. I think she's 100% innocent I think you went into Jude's house and he had that dog attack him and they throw them outside after they beat the crap out of them you don't get that bad beat by getting bumped by a suv. Why else would they get rid of the dog rip up the carpet search up how long does a body stay out in the cold before it dies I mean come on now

If BPD says they didnt do it then you have to believe them. Its one of the most honest departments ever!

The audio issue , there is plenty of Audio software that could isolate and enhance the original poor quality, why hasn’t this been used ???

If it was dog bites surely they would’ve swabbed the areas for DNA though? 🤷🏻‍♀️

Thanks for the unbiased coverage in this case. Court tv should take this approach with its other case coverage.

This is a bad look, MA Police. Bad fkin look. Embarrassing.

the brother said it looked as if there were ping pong balls under his eyes? And then there are deep scratch marks on his arm.. it doesn’t seem like he was “hit” by a car.. just my opinion though.

Im not educated in anything except true crime facts, but I've been so wrapped up in Sebastian Rogers, Madeline Soto, Delphi, Adam Montgomerys trial and now Chad Daybells that I've missed so many things in Karen Reads case. I stay completly confused about it all.

What really concerns me and should alarm others is that prosecutors are charged with finding truth, rather than accept a conclusion then as well intentionally create a narrative so people buy into a truth that has no semblance of reasonable assertion. Prosecutors are charged with protecting or being the voice for victims but they should also be as honorable in not prosecuting a victim created in a likeness of the villain. They’re supposed to be better than that. They are the pillars of a judicial system. In this case, they have seemingly failed and now all any innocent person can pray still holds true is a jury of peers will rise to and prove we don’t prosecute for the sake of but rather seek out and render a true and honest verdict in spite of. What a tragedy this case has become. This woman did not and had no motive to kill her boyfriend and still, we won’t ever know why this man did die!

You have Plevin from YCT!! That guy is a clown. You can't take him seriously. Come on, Vinnie!! Don't give his guy time.

never went home no witnesses

I thought he had injuries that looked as if he was beaten, is that condusive of being hit by a car? I wouldn't think so. 🤔

Vinnie Vinnie Vinnie!!!
