Jackson's line of questioning regarding the basketball search was simply a string of things that her phone showed: Got home after 2am - accurate. Climbed a flight of stairs - accurate. Googled something about basketball - accurate. His implication is that if all of the other information on her phone logs is accurate, it's highly unlikely that the search & delete of "hos long to die in the cold" would be INaccurate. I hope the jury picked up on his strategy.

As a trial lawyer since ‘93 (aka, old man), it’s great the public is seeing through these trials (Depp Herd, etc) the ENORMOUS difference a good attorney makes. AJ is putting on a masterclass in trial performance and strategy on a once-in-a-career set of facts Hollywood would trash as far fetched. I can tell you he is outstanding and a pleasure to watch, and Yanetti’s the tough Boston flavor to offset AJ’s riveting questions, when in reality, Lally is more the norm, sadly. The decisions when to attack and when to relent and not cross were calculated to match the theme: KR was framed from the start. Proctor interviewed in Feb 2022 the Aruba Sisters on motive for Karen to murder John rather than interview scores of others with actual relevant information. I mean it’s quite the blockbuster motive to murder your boyfriend via Lexus one month later when in Aruba John got drunk, Karen was pissed, didn’t know it was his “little sis”, they said F U to each other and Karen apologized, offered to pay for the room and said she was wrong. Right up there with $2M insurance policies and Chris Watts’ age-old paramour motive. THAT nothing burger in Aruba is the state’s motive for murder by SUV? This is like the movie Walking Tall (my age again) only in Canton. In three decades, I’m hard pressed to think of a witness so thoroughly skewered, grilled, and turned on a spit as the temperature slowly increased on Jen of the Macabre family, removing her crispy after the Hos long to die finale. AJ’s team then entombed her by the contrast of omission, not crossing KR OR the two Aruba sisters, OTHER than to accentuate Proctor’s laser focus on KR to protect the Macabre and B Alert families. Wisely, AJ Team KR is only crossing hard the conspirators and accentuating that beautifully. What they are doing, as part of the craft of trial with these awesome facts, is mesmerizing.

Regardless of Karen Read's innocence or guilt, there should be an internal investigation on Canton PD. The way this case was handled was absolutely careless and sloppy

"A babysitter with benefits".Nasty. How cruel to throw that out there. A very unlikable woman.

This case is about everybody but Karen Reed.

How she dares to victimize herself in a situation where someone was killed is so insensitive.

New England is so small, that I literally ran into someone from Canton today that told me that a majority of people are on Karen's side and that the town meetings are WILD.

Peter, I hate that people are throwing shade at you. You are the most level headed non-biased channel/ person I have watched! You are doing an amazing job! Keep up the great work!

Jen McCabe came across as dishonest and overall a disagreeable person. I’m glad Alan Jackson pushed a far as he did with her.

I didn’t believe a conspiracy was actually behind this well known and beloved man’s tragic demise: J.O. = beaten and left to freeze to death until witnessing this bizarre community take the stand, one by one, the last week. To see friend’s so easily and stubbornly denounce one another, and deny their relationships and/or connections, without so much as batting an eye, is flat out disturbing!!

The fact that the there was a library video cam next to the house and has a couple minutes missing around the time he’s thought to have been hit makes me think there is huge reason why the town thinks it was a cover up. If that’s the fact brought forth by the FEDS investigation discredits all these ppl at this home.

The fact that she wouldn’t even confirm a single thing for the defence…even something she had clearly said clearly and without hesitation on direct is maddening. Essentially it feels as if she doesn’t want to be questioned.

Jen McCabe bringing up the outside harassment to me just tells the jury the general public already believes in misdeeds by this family. Bad for the prosecution, IMO.

Karen Reed has also had a lot of harassment.

Kerry Roberts, is the only one that showed any emotion and conpassion. So far she seems like the ONLY witness that was genuinely John's friend.

The google search she made before Johns body was found sealed the deal for me. There is no plausible reason for the search OR for deleting it other than a conspiracy.

I live about 25 minutes from Canton. Everyone is talking about this case and I haven’t met 1 person that think KR is guilty. Everyone believes it is a cover up.

If I were a juror, I would’ve been annoyed with Jen. This trial is taking so long, they had to have been thinking “Shut up and just answer the question!”

I think that link about her being a Babysitter with Benefits paints the witness as a mean girl. She enjoyed saying that.

OK Let's see here... Breakdown 1. The Alberts have a dozen cops, medical personnel and a dead cop on their lawn and don't come outside? 2. The Alberts rip up there basement floor. 3. The Alberts get rid of their dog. 4. The Alberts sell their house. 5. Collin is seen with his knuckles mangled with cuts 6. 8+ people come in and out of the house and no one sees a dead body in the front yard. 7. Someone texts in the group chat (Make sure you tell them he (John) never came in house) 8. Jen Google searches and deletes a text at 2:27 am (Hos long does to take to die in the cold). 9. Jen caught lying a dozen times on the stand and she is the damning witness against Karen? What evidence do they have against Karen? Everyone saw her dropping off John? And Jen the liars testimony? There is more evidence against this family then there is against anything I have seen against Karen.

Let's not forget Jenn McCabe's husband is an IT EXPERT!

I have serious doubts that Karen ever asked her to google anything.

⚖️LYK is the most unbiased law channel I’ve watched. Thank you Peter for teaching/leading by example. You’re the best. Blessings to you and you family. 🙏🏼

“I’m a truthful & honest person” my ass😂

People who tell the truth do not have to look back at the 🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩paperwork

She will NEVER BE ABLE TO EXPLAIN AWAY HER GOOGLE SEARCH AT 2:30 am.

How about when “ Jenn says, Carrie is a blunt person not like me” I spilled my coffee

I think they are 100% right about what she did. She covered up that search. She’s a sneaky little witch.

I live in the town over. This is a HOT topic around here and I haven’t met one person yet that is on board with the prosecution. People are very passionate about it to the point where canton residents were in the town hall meetings demanding answers. I have a feeling we will never know what happened to John. ** the harassment sounds brutal. But I have to ask myself WHYYYYY is everyone up in arms?!

3 pints of blood lost and no sign of the blood outside! Weird

The McCabes and Albert's are truly inhuman. The only time they can muster and real emotion is when they're talking about THEIR harrassment their suffering. But they can't muster a genuine emotion while talking about it, and I quote, "the guy." They are so disingenuous it is abhorrent

When have you ever known the cops to ever allow anyone to delete anything from their phone before handing it over!

6 Butt dials?? First of all a butt dial happens without you knowing it and the phone can be IN CALL for a long time until you find it and hit the END button. So to say it happened 6 times in one night?? I don't buy it.

I do think she came off as a hateful person that is willing to do absolutely anything to put KR behind bars. I think the Judge absolutely should have admonished the witness.

Her anger destroyed her testimony

Does anyone else think it’s a strange when the judge stops the defense and asks the prosecuting attorney, do you want to object? I feel like she’s micromanaging this case.

What does the harassment have to do with testimony of this case? I have seen hatred from Jen Mccabe that no one could match.

Who care about them and harassment. Let’s stay focused on the man who die.

It’s amazing how accurate the reports, phone logs, apps that support their “version” of the incident and yet, how inaccurate they are when proof of their “alternative facts” come to light.; including but not limited to deleting calls and messages, monitoring other witnesses’ interviews just to name a few.

McCabe seems like she would be a real peach to deal with on any issue in life, very aggressive, argumentative and full of herself.

Agree 100%. Focus on the victim and the accused. The rest is a distraction. I can’t wait to get this witness off the stand so I never have to hear her again.

The next witness said that it was Jenn’s idea to go to the death scene because Karen wanted to go back to the bar!

49:22 Leah M., I completely agree! Just the fact that she wanted to tell the jury about “babysitter with benefits” tells me what a mean girl she is!

I thought Jackson played it well. He got JM to admit all her calls and other searches were accurate But an incriminating one isn’t?? It’s either one or the other sweetheart. You can’t pick and choose!

The judge should be telling her to keep it to the answers to the questions and to keep the comments out…. The Judge did an awful job as usual with this witness

I don't think it's possible to have a conviction in this case. The Commonwealth can't even establish how John died, how can they claim it was intentional?

Jen McCabe is hostile. Victim playing is exactly what she is doing. Now John is a dear friend whom she loved. On her 911 call he was just a man she found in the snow. Everything she gets called out on is someone else’s fault or misdoing. It’s pathetic! Lock her up!

There was a question asked during this live “did an EMT corroborate ‘I hit him, I hit him, I hit him”. Peter, you’re correct that an EMT corroborated hearing Karen say that. However, the only first responder on scene that morning who corroborated hearing Karen say that was Katie McLaughlin. In case anyone forgot who she is, she’s the EMT who lied on the stand as to how well she knew Caitlin Albert. So 2 people have said Karen said ‘I hit him I hit him I hit him’, but those 2 people are both proven liars under oath!!

Jenn says she deleted her daughter's texts but she doest know how to delete a search. eyeroll.....

I only know Jen from her testimony, while nobody should be harassed, especially underage children, but she is incredibly unlikeable

How did John get a massive gash on the back of the head....lose 3 pints of blood that was never located....land face up.....have no injuries to his torso or legs....and his phone ended up just under his shoulder?

Those search results are so damning. Why is she googling this at 0200? There’s no reason it would have shown up before she searched it.

I think they are covering for Collin

If I was a juror so far I would vote not guilty because there is reasonable doubt because nothing or no one is telling the truth. IMO

Well, it's not Karen's fault that JEN gets harassed and shouldn't be held against her. I have zero compassion for this "mean girl" and I doubt the jury does. She's been extremely defensive and obviously deceptive. Also, the Aruba trip had no place in this trial. But I'm glad the jury got to hear how some of these girls had it out for her.

Alan Jackson is brilliant.

When I was in court, the judge would NOT allow a word of explanation. Not one word, much less argue back. Judge is not doing one thing about the sassing back, questioning the questioner,etc.

They left Carrie alone because she let everyone know that it was Jenn’s idea to go back to Fairview to look for John and not the Waterfall.

It sucks being dead, too.

Karen is in the back seat and she's able to see everything much more clearly than the two in the front. So it's no surprise that she was able to see him. She saw the shape of a human.

First she said “my hands were shaking bc of my MS and it was cold” then she said “she was screaming and shaking me” 👀

Did I hear Keri correct, it wasn't karen who said to go to fairview it was jen. Jen said karen insisted on it. also Keri pointed out different area of cracked taillight.

She butt dialed the search 😂😂😂

It was damning when she wouldn’t answer the question about how long it takes to die. If she had nothing to hide she would have answered it immediately and moved on. Which would make me not believe anything else she has to say. I couldn’t believe they didn’t request to make her a Hostile witness with all of her bantering back and forth over it!

Nah, I know NOTHING about her or this case and I have zero sympathy for this witness

Thank you Peter for continuing to discuss this trial in such a balanced and unbiased manner. 💗 I am surprised that we are weeks into this trial and we are still waiting for experts to testify. Thus far, I think that the CW should have presented their witnesses in a much cohesive order. I am still waiting for them to prove what happened to Officer John O’Keefe. I hope everyone is having a wonderful week. 💞

Rewatch crew. Could it be possible that these cops thought John O. was part of an investigation against them? They perhaps were going to teach him a lesson, and it got out of hand? The whole group would be invested.

I don’t see how any of the sister’s story in Aruba should have had any credence in this specific case!

IMO There was a huge difference between Jen and Carrie. Carrie seemed honest, genuine, straight forward with no agenda. Jen on the other hand looked like she had an agenda and Karen was always an outsider in her group. I don’t understand why that whole group got pissed by how frantic Karen was?

I get a meddlesome PTA mom vibe from Jen McCabe. Like she's been the Queen Bee of her social circle since high school.

Reasonable doubt all over the place

Jenn McCabe and the Albert’s brought this on themselves Truth prevails

What makes her think the jury is going to believe her with her defiant attitude?

‼️ “I hit him” can be a question depending on inflection. “I hit him?”

At this point, after all the witness-stand amnesia we have witnessed - no pun intended - I so totally get Mr. Jackson's reaction and I hope the jury sees it the same way.

I have attended many pedestrian accidents and John did not have the injuries of being hit by a motor vehicle. Firstly he would have leg/ hip injuries, and he would not have had an open gash to the back of his head hitting snow, nor would he have had a swollen right eye. if his head had hit the vehicle then the vehicle would have shown damage ..A dog expert gave testimony on You Tube that the marks on Johns right arm were made by a German Shepherd. They never leave bite marks, they leave tears like cuts because as they grab an arm the person will obviously pull his arm away and the teeth will cut downwards. There are never puncture wounds with dog bites so it seems pretty obvious that John was not hit by Karen Reid’s car, he was beaten up in that house, the dog obviously went in attack mode because she was protecting her owners and possibly the fight went to the basement where John fell back and hit his head. A big cover up. Why did investigators not search the house? Why did they not go in to see if Johns lost shoe was in the house. They would have seen the alleged blood on the basement floor. These people freaked out and dragged John to the lawn. Why would he be lying on his mobile phone? I really hope the truth will be discovered and the individuals who murdered him or who a rurally left him out to die in the cold are held accountable and be punished. It’s a sad sad case and I feel very sorry for Karen Reid. It’s really really horrendous how cops will cover up for bad cops.

She almost cried when she didn't know what to say when everyone saw the facts

Kerry said that it was Jen's suggestion to go search by her sister's house.

Peter, you are the best, absolute best on KZfaq. Do not ever let anyone get you down. Ever.

Kerry did all the normal things calling hospitals and police. Then calling John’s parents after he is taken off in the ambulance. And her account of the morning seems more truthful then the McCabes. Karen’s state of hysteria from the beginning makes more sense if she is still under effects of alcohol and not herself.

The harassment stuff doesn't help the prosecution. All it does is provide a motive for Jenn to lie even more to get back at the harassers.

There is something about Jen McCabe I don’t trust.

There was no reason for Jenn to say the babysitter/benefit statement…just plain mean

Watching this after the live~ Jen right there created reasonable doubt! The 2:27 AM search said it all!! Shame on her for letting a man die! I pray they do go to jail! I knew nothing about this case until last week~ she made me have reasonable doubt! Even testifying how many times then coming up with She hit him 3 times! DONE!!

Did McCabe tell the truth about anything today? I thought I’d vomit when she wanted to play the victim! She was disgusting and deplorable.

She was caught lying umpteen times!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think Kerry Robert’s has been the most credible witness so far!

Peter - it doesn't have to be one consistent plan. Honestly, the kids cover for the parents, the LEO's cover for each other, a small group of people know what actually happened. KR is an outsider and an easy mark ESPECIALLY in light of what Karrie overheard

It absolutely feels like the prosecution is on trial. That’s not good for them

Imagine this is a cover-up. Karen is fuzzy on the details of the night. Ends up at Jen McCabes' fully trusting her to help her find John. All the while JM is weaving this tangled web. 🤯

I think the harassment shows that the public believes they are involved and hiding the truth so I think it helps the defense! She is a narcissist and thinks she is better than EVERYONE! No sympathy for this snob!

I thought Kerri R was the first fully believable witness for the commonwealth.

Allowing the “harassment” issue and the witnesses from the Aruba trip is ridiculous, neither are even relevant 👎

The second search at 6:24 to reenact the “hos long” search is the nail in the coffin. McAbe will be in jail this year.

I really don’t understand why they’re all so annoyed by her emotional state that night.

Even if you believe J.M didn't make the first search, then why did she delete that search and only that search? The one that looks very damning for her. Just seems like anything that the Defence brings up that makes her look like she is involved, J.M says its someone else's mistake.... The reports are wrong or the extraction is wrong or someone else must have deleted deleted the calls on her phone. Also hard to get past how much she seems to insert herself into the investigations.

If I were on the jury I would see this woman as completely rude, disrespectful and completely uncooperative. I'm Not even looking at "sides" or who she is .. just generally how she acted and spoke was terrible. EDIT: To everyone responding if you actually listened to this video Peter said: please comment below as to whether you as a potential jurrror would feel about this women's testimony. Anywhere in my comment does it say liar? NO .... Come on folks ...

Are you serious???? She was already caught lying on stand how many times? and you think a juror will believe her now???? WHAT????

Peter you are the BEST !!! Learn so much from you and really appreciate your intelligent, thoughtful and fair coverage.

Proctor didn't interview people that were there that night for 18 months if at all, but interview the Sullivan sisters on February 8, 2022
