When did court tv decide to euthanize their critical thinking? Experts - by definition - are people who know what they are talking about. Have you seen any?
@@tacham4533 the people they pick to even argue the case are weak 🙄 its like they pick a name outta the hat. That's my biggest grief! Kindergarten teacher vs a PhD.
@@ThePolishRifle lol come on. You can't believe this woman is really innocent? He was clearly breaking things off with her crazy self, and she offed him. You're telling me the police knew she was a loon before they framed her? 🤣
He’s not blowing it out of proportion you can literally tell from the tone of the text and the way that they are texting they were arguing John was barely responding to Karen and she kept calling and texting him trying to get his attention and this was a few hours before they met up at the bar
@@EmberRN So were the other Canton troopahs; they were also wasted. Higgins was wasted, maybe angry, and was losing control of the "so-called flirting."
I’m not buying any of this analysis. Clearly they were both having some issues and John was definitely having issues he was feeling like he couldn’t be the cool uncle because he had to be the disciplinarian. And it was really bothering him. As a result he was being mean to Karen. And she’s just wanting to know where they stand once and for all. And he’s being ambiguous.
The analysis makes no sense. The text messages and voicemails are clear evidence of her being innocent because it's obvious she was wanting him to call back because she didnt know he was dead. And she didnt know he was dead because she didnt kill him,
Well said. A woman with good intuition. John didn’t want to “bite the hand that fed him”. Karen could bank roll his lifestyle and care for the kids. “babysitter with benefits”
Totally disagree with these ‘experts’. Those text messages did NOT demonstrate any serious problems in the relationship- on their own. Look at most coupled text history and you will find similar in times of conflict. The messages of much greater concern and interest in this case are the texts sent from Trooper Proctor and his buddies, superiors and colleagues. They are damming evidence.
Oh no I just started to listen to this and reading comments. I don’t know why CourtTv and law and crime think they have to find the useless people to communicate on their channels.
I had a friend who was sort of toxic with one of her boyfriends. Back in the day, there were no cell phones, and she would still call his home several times. I disliked that behavior so much that I left it at that if someone ghosted me. I was never one to call and or beg. Absolutely not. She would drink quite a bit but never killed anyone. So all these texts just tell me that their relationship was coming to an end but did not kill him.
What doesn't add up is the FACT that there are NO INJURIES consistent with JOK being hit by a car, he has a skull fracture at the back of his head, a small cut below an eyebrow and one on his nose, then those "scratches" or bite marks on ONE arm. Where are the rest of the injuries he would have suffered if he had been hit by a car....there are none, no broken bones, no bruising, no road rash, nothing below his head except his arm.... However being hit around in the face, falling backwards and smacking his head on a hard object would cause the small cuts to his face and the skull fracture, and a dog protecting its owner would attack and bite, also if JOK was fending off a dog that would certainly explain the fact that he has injuries like scratches or bite marks on only one arm as he would likely have raised that arm to protect himself....who knows the dog may have also been the one to cause the facial injury that caused JOK to fall backwards and fracture his skull. 38:34 the crime scene should have been secured until the snow had melted. No excuse.
After hours lying in the snow would there be DNA left after they cleared the snow off him? Also if his arm were hit by the backlight must be a hell of a big backlight on that vehicle....
@@lynettejoubert4291 yes there would be DNA, he was also allegedly holding a glass and the taillight was busted out. Both of those could lead to cuts on the arm
She lied so much. I agree she has some sort of personality disorder. If you watch her interview, not only her body language speaks volumes but just going by statement analysis. She seems guilty!
If not a cover up, it is one of the worse police work ever seen. The unprofessional attitude , very poor detective work is a huge embarrassment . Mass state troopers should be hugely embarrassed . Trooper Proctor especially is maturity level is frightening. It really appears, that he set out to coverup any issues stemming from the Alberts and make sure the blame points to Karen Read. Very scary for the public to see how unprofessional our police force is.
Dr Carol yeah. I feel sorry for any couples seeing her. Just goes on a hunch and concludes and then speaks from that perspective. She is a disgrace. But yeah Karen and John also probably drank too much
As a psychotherapist working with couples, it is possible Karen has what’s called Anxious Attachment. Doesn’t mean she hit him, but all her texts say to me is that she has this anxious attachment style, and he possibly avoidant attachment style. If you want to learn more, the booked Attached is really good at explaining these attachment styles.
Yeah. And I think she was attached to the kids, too. It’s not just breaking up with John, it breaking up with the kids. Which means the break up takes longer to actually happen for good. Break ups are hard. People are forgetting that. Just because she didn’t want kids doesn’t mean this wasn’t breaking her heart. The texts showed me that John was a lousy boyfriend, not that she’s guilty of murder.
Exactly. I work with couples and intimate partner violence survivors as well. And those texts are not what I'd expect to see before such a drastic escalation. Compare and contrast Karen's texts with Ali Abulaban's messages to his victim for example... There appears to be some anxious attachment/distanced pursuer dynamics going on, but that doesn't usually lead to homicide IME.
And a person with anxious attachment’s biggest fear is abandonment. But they often communicate in ways to create breakup b/c it fits the subconscious narrative in their mind that “everyone leaves me”. So I think she was subconsciously creating the conditions for him to break it off. Which can be overwhelming to even a person with a secure attachment style. These texts in no way prove motive or intent. This is normal insecure attachment communication. She wanted nothing more than his full attention and commitment. Doesn’t prove murder. This is so common in couples communication.
All those texts tell me is John was taking advantage of Karen’s generosity taking care of those kids. She didn’t kill him. His injuries were caused by that dog.
because she said so in those texts? She sounds so crazy! tell me if you have someone else? calling him constantly! why you said that? so what you apologized? what does she want to hear? its repetitive over and over and over! omg!
@@paradise-w7uLucky you. Never being stonewalled or gaslight by a boyfriend! Nice! Lemme tell you. It drives you nuts. Are you committing murder after? I never murdered anyone but my text history will tell a doozy of a messed up break up.
Wow! I can't believe so many people believe the way she acted in Aruba, the text messages and ALL those phone calls are just normal bickering between couples? I'd run away fast from that ` normal' bickering. Also can't stand her eye rolling and smirks in the courtroom
Karen could not have hit him based on Trooper Paul's account of this. His arm is a hinge and would have been shattered. In order for him to have gone 30 ft, the vehicle would have had to hit him in the chest, mass portion of his body. No broken arm or bones to the torso. I
I agree with you. The CW accident reconstruction "expert" would have the jury belive she hit his arm with her vehicle and he ended up 30 feet away. Gross incompetence.
I came into this thinking she was guilty. But after watching the trial there's so much reasonable doubt there's no way she could be found guilty. Not to mention some of the things the judge has done. I have a lot of reasonable doubt and they still haven't showed us how he died. The reconstructionist trooper Paul was a major failure.
She got her a$$ chewed for buying donuts for breakfast. And he got mad because she paid for the neices nails. How dare she? But the second John needed a ride, suddenly he was all "lovey dovey" again. I don't know who's more toxic? Lieberman or CoffinDiver. I love ya vinnie but your guest list is kinda sketchy as of late.
@Mine.photosYES!!! Totally!!! I mean God forbid we have anything bad to say about an officer that adopted orphaned children. I mean I do think he was a stand up guy. Obviously a stand up cop. But he was taking her for granted. Everybody is afraid to say that. Nobody would send angry texts to someone they just killed either. I've never seen such a farce in my life. Lally saying the dog bite lady (who let's a minute to 👏) was unqualified after Trooper Paul's testimony was incredulous. My jaw hit the floor when he said that.😂
@@loudMouse11 I agree he was probably taking advantage but she’s a grown woman! She couldn’t seem to take a hint… maybe a little obsessed!? What you allow in a relationship will continue!
Hence the divorce rate lol Doesn't mean she killed him. I've married for 24 years but our hardest years were when we were raising our kids. (About to have our 1st grandbaby. Hubby thinks we're broke now. Just wait😂😂 Hold my mom beer cuz grandma 2.0 gonna step in) but seriously I have 100% unequivocally not seen any proof Karen murdered him.
When I heard her texts messages I felt empathy for her.. I have been in a relationship where I felt insecure, desperate, and full of anxiety. All of which I heard in her messages. I don’t see anything else in her messages and it definitely DOES NOT mean she hit him and left him for dead🙄🤦🏻♀️ Sometimes people, (couples), don’t get along.. That’s NORMAL!!!!!
Really? That is sad. Where is your empathy for John. KR text messages are invasive and controlling; unacceptable behavior. JO set boundaries. Her behavior is toxic. She is not a young woman. She is old enough to know when to stop.
I agree. It’s a narcissistic move from John. Men can behave in low ways. Gaslighting playing games. Etc. Manipulation evading etc. 💯 true. We get he’s dead now, but the facts are that toxic behavior did extend rom him. Cops have power they can behave despicably. This woman talking in the pink scarf is wrong. John may have stated that h wanted space, but she may have said the same thing in certain moments. As we can see w the text. It’s manipulative a power struggle on both sides. Just look closely, he wants a ride from her it’s like a carrot in a stick. He was a narcissist. RIP John, but facts are what they are. Each side, manipulation toxic controlling and an attempt to try to fix the relationship. Not to get a reaction but to get him to ask to come along. The man controlling manipulating her by keep8g her close. Reason why she started to try to get away and date elsewhere. She was in her right to do so, since he was being a narcissist gaslighter. No wonder she begun to doubt him. ONKY she knew what he was capable of. Sorry but both of them had an issue. He didn’t want out. He was hanging w her, he was manipulative. It’s terrible that he died, but he died die to his fake corrupt cop friends. Those kids are ungrateful. They can be honest and say things they both said and both their behavior, the kids just want to say what they’ve been manipulated to say. Sad situation.
@@Anna-ww4pv when I made this post I was not saying that I don’t have empathy for John O’Keefe. Obviously, he is the victim that passed away here, which is incredibly sad, and I really feel for his family. Me saying that, does not mean that I cannot express me having empathy for Karen Reed as well. I specifically connected to HER, as she is the female in this situation, and I’m a female as well. I do agree that she was saying things that were off putting and out of line, but so was he. Their relationship was extremely toxic! That will be all I say about this situation on this thread, being as I DO NOT feel that I need to defend or explain myself. Have a good night❤️
Oh please...I never feel sorry for Karen Read. She's got the MONEY...The RICH Daddy ... and the means. And its people like this one.. who get to walk free.
Karen is a very insecure person, very jealous and I really feel she has mental health issues. I do believe she killed him in a fit of jealous passion, we saw what she was like in Aruba. She is jealous of the attention he gives the children, she is a very jealous person, it is a very toxic relationship I agree with the counselors.
Absolutely no evidence that she killed him. His injuries, especially on his arm look like a dog attack. You can even google what a dog attack looks like. He didn’t have any injuries to his torso. How was he killed by a vehicle.
IMO, John was sick of constantly arguing, her constantly stalking and harassing him. KR is a Leach....She couldn't except he was done with her for quite a while now. KR thinks she is entitled. She is guilty of taking his life deliberately...
No, a female FIRST RESPONDER said those words and said that Karen Read said them. She is a childhood friend of one of the McCabe -Albert crime families
@@holly_kay5570"Mental Health professionals" are not ethically allowed to diagnose etc without spending time and meeting the requirements and standards of assessment with the actual person in question. You are confusing their personal opinions with professional analysis and assessment. Its not possible from reading texts that someone, or anyone, can accurately and professionally meet the standards of assessment. So your opinion that their "assessment is quite valid and accurate" simply means you agree with their personal opinion. Court tv misrepresented their opinions as expert opinions... An expert in a certain field can have an opinion that is not an expert opinion. There was not a professional assessment done here, just personal opinions on abstract subjective texts. Therefore not expert. Genuinely appreciate your opinion and send this message with respect 👍
@@delorusclaiborne3274 No diagnosis was given. However KRs behaviors were discussed and assessed by these experts in the context of the messages she sent that were disrespectful and manipulative.
Delorus, true, these opinions, like many of the youtube lawyers who apparently don’t have enough clients to be in Court or writing briefs, filing motions on their clients behalf are all just content for youtube. Some of the lawtubers have behaved despicably IMO and stretch, if not break, the Model Rules of Professional Conduct lawyers are bound by. It’s quite a tawdry circus. They seem completely unfazed by The gravity of a suffering family and children.
Her actions prove she hit him. I don't think she meant to kill him, just scare him or hurt him. Not thinking he was severely hurt & dying in the cold snow
She is guilty 100% she may not lose/ possibly a hung jury. Do believe her defense is doing a good job even though he is as seedy as F. She absolutely did it. Yes a motive, she didn’t plan it. She did hit him in a raging drunken jealous state, when driving off. She is a “whack job” . The knowledge of driving off: this is what makes her even more guilty. She was only 2 min away but yet calls him and says she was worried. It’s mind boggling/how many ppl think she is innocent?!1 JO never went into that house. As for that female whiteness they tried to bring on last min. She was following the case, she hates law enforcement, she felt she was bullied while she was working in law enforcement. She also hates men in general. So totally bias. The judge is bias yes because she should be, she know the truth but it’s not her choice. It’s the jury. Also if you saw her texts, you can tell she was manipulative & got him to go out with her. She is slimy just like her lawyer.
It's mind boggling how you think she is guilty without evidence proving it. Your comments about her are awful , you don't know her , you are worse than proctor
Had he not died, she probably would have left him. But he wanted her to pick him up and spend the weekend with him. She’s not so gross considering the mixed signals he was sending.
If i were on her jury id listen to everything. I do t know the case but looking at this mess i think she did it cause its more plausible than the other version of the story.
Really ? Why are the feds involved? Why did they not go In the house to check ? Why did the cops throw out their phones ? Why did the ME just testify that his injuries can be from a fight ?
Vinnie is out of touch with drunk woman’s behavior. He keeps asking why was Karen doing all the things she was doing if she murdered him. Well she was drunk as a fish! Yes she called him 53 times and yes she called him after she hit him and told him she hated him! She kept calling because she knew what she did and she wasn’t sure if he was ok. That’s why she texted him about the kids being home alone, that would be the one thing she knew he would respond to. I don’t think she meant to kill him, but she did. Hopefully there will be lesser included charges like manslaughter. Just like I’m putting the pieces together the jury will too. Her lawyers are muddying the waters, but there are to many things for her to overcome IMO. She can try to malign law enforcement all she wants she’s guilty and she knows it!!
The problem is she went back to Fairview and didn’t call 911 when she realized what happened.. she left him there .. if she called an hour earlier he could have possibly recovered. It’s all very sad and unnecessary
Vinnie’s initial question is wrong, “Would KR want to kill JO?” The right question is, “Is KR capable of becoming so infuriated that she loses control?”
I see no emotion from Karen, that her boyfriend is dead. If she didn't do it, wouldn't she be sad or upset to see the disturbing photos of John from the autopsy, etc.? I would be devastated! I do see her mad reactions, and her very piercing looks at witnesses. That doesn't look good to the jury.
A lot of people are saying this, but 1. The boyfriend has been dead over 2 years. 2. She's on trial for her life. (So, there must be many conflicting emotions.) 3. Defense attorney's usually advise to show neutral emotions because some people will read "emotion" as crocodile tears, others will read no emotion as "not caring," and one simply can't win with whatever emotion they do/don't show. 4. Remember only one person literally did something, anything to try to save his life (even though it was too late.)
@ karenberg4903 I agree! She has no trouble being smug or smirking at other’s trials but I see nothing warm or heartfelt from her ever! Two years isn’t that long in a grieving process when you really loved someone imo.
How do you know she doesn’t cry before court ? After court ? Did you see her on the dash cam ? I didn’t see any of the people from the house crying ? Btw no emotions allowed on court . She would get reprimanded from the judge. Duh
I don't think it was planned, heat of the moment, pissed of, arguing, he just plucked the last nerve. She hit him, probably not intentionally. Drove off.
That’s what I think. I don’t think she knew that she hit him. I don’t know if she was blacked out drunk. But I find it odd that she woke up in a panic and essentially went straight to the place where she would’ve hit them. Why don’t you just call the Albertsons and say hey is John sleepover there? The fact that she went in a panic back to that spot tells me that in the back of her head, she either thought or knew she hit something. And now she was realizing it it was John.
Oh, please take the stand! It's not up to her defense. It is up to her! She knows she was angry at John, and she hit him, then left the scene! Who the heck asks, did I hit him? If you are innocent! Use your common sense, people!
Did you even watch the commonwealth expert saying how the “crash” happened?! It makes no sense and doesn’t follow laws of physics . John’s injures don’t line up with being hit by a car and “projected 30 feet” like the commonwealth alleges.
@pinklady5795. You may be 100 percent correct. However, if she indeed has 9 drinksc that 100 pound little thing was ANNIHILATED. I’m guessing she doesn’t know for sure what happened. Who knows.
@vincedidiana5781 I thought that too early on, but she should have felt something or heard the beeping when she backed up, wouldn't you think? I have never watched a more confusing trial! Haha!
Dr. Lieberman is so off, IMHO. The texts later talk about him asking if she is goin and why she didn't ask him and his dad to help with plumbing. I disagree with her opinion.
She definitely hit him. Whether it was done intenitionally or not is up for debate but the fact that she went back to the scene before she called Jenn and Kerry rather than calling 911 is very damming, had she gotten help for him, he could still be alive. She was the first one to see the body under a mound of snow that is very suspicious.
@@eleanoraquitaine2966 I think she wanted to spend some alone time with him and didnt want to go the party but he chose to go anyway without her and she lost it.

@@theresafeeney2756 Just watching now..there appears a break..looked to me when Dr Russell said she got dog bites in Canton..what if there is no report on the woman, that is why they said Chole was rehomed..this caused the break by Lally??
Seems to me, if she knew she hit him but maybe wasn’t sure he was dead, so she is frantically trying to get him to reply. At the time she didn’t know he was dead. Otherwise, why drop him off at a party then tell him to get home quick.
53 calls. Trying to establish a false alibi. She called so many times to make it seem she really didn’t know what happened to John. Her texts were consistent with her rage, drunk and desperate.
She is a pathological liar. She k owes what she did but is really convincing herself she is innocent. For F sake case should be over. She could care less how many lives she destroyed. Very selfish child like brat.
My opinion.....Karen hit him with her damn car and knew she was leaving him unconscious and highly inebriated. He didn't die immediately, so Karen kept calling to find out his condition. IF she was effing worried and panicked, she KNEW where she left him. She made no attempt to GO back or let the Albert's know John was most likely in the snow. She called no one who would know where he was !!!! She left him...he died. She killed him because he wanted her ass OUT of his and the kids lives!!!!!!
Those texts makes me feel that Karen really cares for JO and the kids and JO is just inappreciative of Karen. Those texts doesn’t mean killing someone ! I don’t buy what these 2 ladies are saying!
Yet you would believe that three different families were involved in a grand cover-up? WHAT is the motive? Have not heard why the Arnolds', McCabes, or Higgins would want Mr. O'Keefe dead.
Karen comes off arrogant and willing to point the finger at anyone to get away from accountability.She was obsessed with John , obviously.who calls someone that many times BK to BK ,when they say stop calling .She was drunk and knew she hit him and where to find him on the lawn.Those marks on his arm could have been from a previous fight with Karen or scratches from sliding along frozen ground .Maybe she did drag him a few feet with the car . She's guilty .
She backed up fast, a looonnnggg way. No way he wasn't her target. She meant to bump, not necessarily kill him. They already admitted it as an accident early on. Some " brilliant" blogger who thinks hes the smartest in the room, started this whole lie. Hopefully, the jurors are smarter.
Explain the evidence then , explain with 100% physics how the car hit him , to match his injuries , for his body to end up where it did , how the light pieces landed in the exact same position, the glass in the same position as the body , one shoe a distance away from his body. I'm afraid you will never ever explain that evidence , because none of it fits with him being hit by a car.
@@jtjones4081 the medical examiner is just there for an opinion, the scene where his body was will never ever match a car hitting him , that is physical evidence that physics shows is impossible. If he was hit by the car , this would have been an easy case for the prosecution but every turn and every expert has messed up. It's easier to find the truth than it is to hide a lie.
@@bryanmurphy3035 NO , it was ruled undetermined, she couldn't say if it was a vehicle/pedestrian accident , she then said his head injuries are not consistent with a fight , doesnt mean a fight didn't happen and he walked outside and slipped and hit his head. I know you are desperate, but don't exaggerate what was said
@@bryanmurphy3035 we have more medical examiners tomorrow, she never said where all the cuts came from , she basically spoke about his head injury , which still wasn't proven either way. Tomorrow's examiner may explain the cuts are consistent from a fight , because they aren't from a car hitting him
Here is an idea. The cop that was killed because he got into a physical fight with one of the cops because he kept calling karen a B word and when he told him to stop bad mouthing his girlfriend that they are working it out the other cop continued and a fight happened. The other cops got involved being it looked like the one that is dead started it but being they were all drinking things got out of control. The dog gets in the fight while they are restraining him treating him like a criminal. They end up unaliving him and panic. They go threw his phone knowing he was having issues with his girlfriend and the fight was about the girlfriend so they figure set her up for what all of them just did. This is what the evidence shows me.
First of all I believe she killed that man. Secondly those poor kids to lose a parent & to be adopted by the brother of that parent only for this evil self centered monster to take him away from them I’m sad for those kids
WTF are you all talking about ??? Seriously, she wasn’t just coming into their lives !!! She had been a significant part of all of their lives for 2 years and especially over COVID Inside for all that time !
I personally think it’s a cover up. I don’t think she did it. It sounds like he was leading her on a bit or not communicating. She was confused about the situation and hurt. But I still do not believe she did it or hurt him.
These two do not know the case very well. Do either of them know that the FBI hired experts that will refute the this ax was caused by KRs Lexi’s? The accident has to be caused by the vehicle, and the injuries are not consistent. They a have already convicted her. These two are clueless about this case and I’m surprised you actually had them on Vinnie! Please bring people that have followed the case so that they know all the facts.😊
The conflict about the kids was about Karen spoiling them! That morning she got them Dunkin Donuts & he was upset!! They need to actually get more info on the case before giving their opinions!!
I know, right!! if you think it’s normal to call somebody 53 times in one night and say I effing hate you. You’re a loser. And say that that’s a normal relationship??? not in my book
Is that why The Feds hired a reconstruction expert ? The Feds don’t hire for guilty people ?? Who are you relying on ? Trooper Paul who knows nothing about physics ,?
He was gaslighting her and he was using her As a babysitter with benefits. He wanted to go out to the bar and party and have her stay home and managed the children his way.
I am going to trust what the experts have to say Thursday. Honestly when Proctor took the stand and Failed to do a thorough investigation for a fallen Boston officer I knew he was helping the Albert's.
She killed him by accident or not it still happened bcuz she likes to be in control and it would hurt the girls he was caring for. Not sure why ppl say free her if it was still manslaughter and she wasn’t very nice. Even when she wasn’t drunk she felt treats towards family friends and other women. She’s a narcissist and hasn’t shed a tear during this trial when they talk about her boyfriend. Frozen and didn’t see him when she came back. Lastly.. should she have been drinking and driving. The police setting her up is ridiculous whether true or not why her? No one else ? Check the history of those officers but no matter what, the texts show her true colors.
I think she is innocent! The recollection of evidence was contaminated, no investigation inside the house, etc. Where is the dog, why they give him away? 🤷🏽♀️
Wait a minute it's definitely not up to the attorney's whether or not she testifies she's just relinquishing that and I understand that but let's not make the mistake of thinking she can't testify if she wants to. I think she just knows better
You never know… she comes across as she thinks she’s smarter/better than everyone else and we all remember Alex Murdaugh! I don’t think she’s stupid or narcissistic enough to take the stand but people can surprise you! It would be catastrophic!(imo)
@@JustLikeJulia9 agree. And she's vindictive IMO. I think she really wants to get up there but the lawyers know her angry side will probably become apparent. Although with all the support she seems to have behind her, maybe they will think she can take the stand and still appear likeable. I would love to see it!
I think she’s saying she hates him because he’s not answering her back. She’s trying to get a hold of him and he’s not responding and that is provoking her.
FIFTY THREE texts over how long? 30 minutes? An hour? FIFTY THREE! She was not trying to get ahold of him, she was hoping he was not dead and would answer. Because she damn well knew she hit him.
@@Whatnok Until it does. The old adage "hell hath no fury like a woman scorned". is so true in cases over decades. One of the oldest reasons for men being killed by their wife or girlfriend is anger and jealousy.
They are ignorant and lack knowledge and expertise. Why would he have them on⁉️ desperate to have them on. Nobody else available. They make his show look amateur snd unreliable. Those women sound miserable and biased snd crazy
She said that to get a response from him! He said he was relying on her to get a ride home that night so she was trying to encourage a response! She wasn't ever actually in Mansfied.
John treated Karen like a fishing pole. Throwing her out and reeling her back in. He used her and she just need a straight answer but John wouldn't give her one. I'd have left his ass and not look back. If she was feeling used, then he most likely was using her. Just don't believe this was murder.
I don't see a motive in the text messages. What I find upsetting about her, is her communicating with Brian Higgins behind John's back, when she was accusing him of flirting with another woman in Aruba. Was John aware that Karen was talking to other men?
They were buried under snow, exactly the officers were working under awful conditions. I’m from MA. The snow storms are intense. They absolutely did NOT plant any evidence. It bugged me that people were making fun of how he spoke or looked. That’s goes to show you the mentality of the people that think she is innocent.
Every couple has their ups and their downs, as Karen Reed and John O'Keefe apparently had their differences, except in this case, Karen Reed was living in John O'Keefe's home, and shacking up with him period however, this is not the point. It is clearly showing that Karen Reed and John O'Keefe we're in a toxic relationship where John O'Keefe was tirelessly trying to kick her out of his life for good. He wanted to break up with her. It is apparent that Karen Reed has a toxic over jealous negative attitude. She was overly controlling of John O'Keefe, even though she was living in his home, and I mean it was his home. Karen Reed was was extremely crowding John O'Keefe, and his space. It clearly proves that when there is overtime the beginning of differences between 2 people, whereas, John O'Keefe had become tired of the continuous arguments, and the controlling dominance that Karen Reed was absolutely mentally Disturbed, and that she absolutely after she had become acquainted with John o'keefe, and found herself comfortable with him, she started behaving as though she was his wife, rather than a girlfriend. John O'Keefe got tired of her over jealous attitude. Karen Reed and John O'Keefe way in advance of John O'Keefe's death, John O'Keefe's had already been in the works of trying to exit himself from her, because he wanted to end the relationship with her. So what, Karen Reed and John O'Keefe wore out partying around with some of their friends, and had a little bit too much to drink, but the night in question of Karen Reed's drunkenness episode, where as she was driving under the influence of alcohol, and it was a extreme snow storm, but still, after she, John O'Keefe and their friends had finished gathering at the bar where they had rounds of drinks, and have been invited to the house of friends of theirs, the relationship between Karen Reed and John O'Keefe had already gone a downward Sparrow Road in the relationship, which had nothing to do with the night of everyone's get together. Karen Reed and John O'Keefe had already had problems in the relationship, which John O'Keefe had already increasingly grown tired of Karen Reed's controlling attitude, and her over jealousness of everyone home was in John O'Keefe's life. Perhaps she was always making accusations to him that maybe she was not getting attention from him. However, anytime there begins to become a downward Sparrow Road in any relationship between two people, there's always going to be a distance between the same two people, as John O'Keefe had already distanced himself from Karen Reed, because he could not take her attitude no more, and also the fact that John O'Keefe has adopted his niece and nephew, where as John O'Keefe's sister and brother-in-law had passed away, which were the parents of John O'Keefe's niece and nephew. John O'Keefe spelled it was time to exit his relationship with Karen Reed, because also, the relationship and the continual arguments was affecting John O'Keefe's niece and nephew Taryn Reid has a toxic personality, which she refuses to control her emotions. She is a person who has to be in control of a man Karma and precisely any man with whom she is having a relationship with, and she had entered into a relationship with John O'Keefe whom is now deceased, she will continue to have a domineering personality with the next man that comes along. Taryn Reed refuses to accept responsibilities that even if in a small Speck of responsibility, Karen Reed refuses to acknowledge that she has a problem. Truthfully speaking, Karen Reed needs psychiatric care, and hopefully, if she is found guilty of second-degree murder, maybe the women's prison where she should be sent to will have a psychiatric unit, and at least behind bars where she will be incarcerated for a long period of time, at least, she will be off the streets, and away from every other man. No man deserves to have someone who has mental issues like, Karen Reed. Karen Reed is her own problem, because she was the problem in her relationship with John O'Keefe. If anything, John O'Keefe did not feel like he had a home, he felt like he was in prison with a mentally delusional young woman home will not grow up to her age level. So what, she worked at a college, that doesn't mean anything. A individual can appear to look good on the outward appearance, and out in public, while behind closed doors, and away from the community or the public, there is problems behind closed doors . John O'Keefe was a declaration police officer. It doesn't matter whether he'd like to drink casually or if that wasn't a habit of his, still John O'Keefe felt like Karen Reed was imprisoning him, because she was trying to control him and she made his life miserable. It wasn't John O'Keefe who was controlling Karen Reed, as it was she who was controlling him. I think that Karen Reed's attorneys are mean and destructive. They come across to the witnesses like dogs fighting in a dog match. It is devastating when a witness takes to the witness stand, and you have a attorney who is supposed to behave professionally, but whom dogmatically insults Witnesses, and intentionally insults each Witness whether that witness is testifying for the prosecution or the witnesses testifying for the defendant, Karen Reed's attorneys are disrespectful to all of the witnesses.
Every couple argues but not everyone's partner ends up dead after they argue and that's the problem here.. They argued a lot and John turned up dead.!! The prisons are full of such people who have snapped in a moment of rage during an argument and especially while intoxicated. These texts are important because it shows that it was more likely than not that, once again they got into another argument that night, outside the house. It also shows that it was a pattern of behaviour in their relationship and a build up of contempt and resentment. When someone is intoxicated they are much more likely to snap a lash out and they have less control of their impulses and reactions. What's more likely to have happened...that she hit and killed John during an argument or That at the same time John was going through a bad relationship constantly arguing with Karen, a group of people killed him and then framed her ??.. the odds of it being the latter is ridiculously absurd. The explanation that requires the fewest assumptions is most likely correct.. That is Karen hit him, it's a extra and unnecessary assumption to say... "someone made it appear like she did it" rather than she actually did it.. which requires the far fewer assumptions, if any at all.
Wouldn't her trying to spend time with him "alone" be better than hashing out whatever issues they had in front of the kids? I would rather not argue around the kids. 18:55 and who says that the text right then was saying the kids were causing the toxicity could it not have been his friends. By the time he is at the bar he is the one trying to control the dynamic, keeps on asking if she is still coming, telling her that he is now relying on her for a lift home if his mate leaves, how would he be getting home if she had decided not to join him at the bar. Plus he didn't even go home he went to go party more and she headed home, she wasn't going to the party. Who was looking after the kids? If she was trying to get hold of JOK why would she desperately be trying to get hold of him, she even calls friends and family who says she wasn't she looking for him because she couldn't get hold of him. And let's be honest most of the people in this case had all been drinking and driving. KR shouldn't have been driving and JOK as a police officer should not have let her get in the drivers side, they should've got in a taxi. I joined this case very late so if those questions have already been answered I apologise.
I agree with all of what you said. The 18:55 text, I also understood it like she wanted to be alone at the bar with him to talk, not with other friends. He was very cold in the previous texts, they were having a discussion, so clearly keep having that conversation with other friends seems toxic. Then he pressured her to meet him at the bar. I mean, wtf? Can't he get an uber? The nerve to demand that after almost breaking up with her says a lot about him.
#CourtTV - What do YOU think?
Question... Was John wearing his ball cap when they found him?
I think there's lots of reasonable doubt. This shady unprofessional investigation team prevented justice for this victim and that's unacceptable.

Absolutely beyond bias! She grouped all women into 1 quote; all women have 1 type of reaction to relationship conflict.
I though it was Barbara Cartland for a minute
I think you’re blowing these text messages out of proportion. Hours later They literally spent the whole nite together having a good time.
And killing a man
He’s not blowing it out of proportion you can literally tell from the tone of the text and the way that they are texting they were arguing John was barely responding to Karen and she kept calling and texting him trying to get his attention and this was a few hours before they met up at the bar
Litterally! I said the same thing. Just a regular argument between a couple. about where they’re at.
@minehliavakian9967 and that means she killed him because they were arguing?
EXACTLY , EVERY SINGLE WITNESS IN THE BAR THAT NIGHT SAID THEY WERE BOTH LOVEY DOVEY TO EACH OTHER 😅 THESE PPL AINT HAVE AN OUNCE OF COMMON SENSE .

I’m not buying any of this analysis. Clearly they were both having some issues and John was definitely having issues he was feeling like he couldn’t be the cool uncle because he had to be the disciplinarian. And it was really bothering him. As a result he was being mean to Karen. And she’s just wanting to know where they stand once and for all. And he’s being ambiguous.
Exactly ……
Agree completely
The analysis makes no sense. The text messages and voicemails are clear evidence of her being innocent because it's obvious she was wanting him to call back because she didnt know he was dead. And she didnt know he was dead because she didnt kill him,
Well said. A woman with good intuition. John didn’t want to “bite the hand that fed him”. Karen could bank roll his lifestyle and care for the kids. “babysitter with benefits”

@@estrella5935 yeah right 🤣
Totally disagree with these ‘experts’. Those text messages did NOT demonstrate any serious problems in the relationship- on their own. Look at most coupled text history and you will find similar in times of conflict. The messages of much greater concern and interest in this case are the texts sent from Trooper Proctor and his buddies, superiors and colleagues. They are damming evidence.
Oh no I just started to listen to this and reading comments. I don’t know why CourtTv and law and crime think they have to find the useless people to communicate on their channels.
Who is paying you?
Yes, but trooper proctor, and the others are witnesses, but they themselves are not on trial for murder
Are you kidding me? She called him over 50 times and one night. She said I effing hate you. I don’t know anybody who’s relationship is like that.
I had a friend who was sort of toxic with one of her boyfriends. Back in the day, there were no cell phones, and she would still call his home several times. I disliked that behavior so much that I left it at that if someone ghosted me. I was never one to call and or beg. Absolutely not. She would drink quite a bit but never killed anyone. So all these texts just tell me that their relationship was coming to an end but did not kill him.
What doesn't add up is the FACT that there are NO INJURIES consistent with JOK being hit by a car, he has a skull fracture at the back of his head, a small cut below an eyebrow and one on his nose, then those "scratches" or bite marks on ONE arm. Where are the rest of the injuries he would have suffered if he had been hit by a car....there are none, no broken bones, no bruising, no road rash, nothing below his head except his arm....
However being hit around in the face, falling backwards and smacking his head on a hard object would cause the small cuts to his face and the skull fracture, and a dog protecting its owner would attack and bite, also if JOK was fending off a dog that would certainly explain the fact that he has injuries like scratches or bite marks on only one arm as he would likely have raised that arm to protect himself....who knows the dog may have also been the one to cause the facial injury that caused JOK to fall backwards and fracture his skull.
38:34 the crime scene should have been secured until the snow had melted. No excuse.
Those marks should have been swabbed as evidence
They were swabbed, and they tested negative for any k9 dna
After hours lying in the snow would there be DNA left after they cleared the snow off him? Also if his arm were hit by the backlight must be a hell of a big backlight on that vehicle....
@@lynettejoubert4291 yes there would be DNA, he was also allegedly holding a glass and the taillight was busted out. Both of those could lead to cuts on the arm
She lied so much. I agree she has some sort of personality disorder. If you watch her interview, not only her body language speaks volumes but just going by statement analysis. She seems guilty!
If not a cover up, it is one of the worse police work ever seen. The unprofessional attitude , very poor detective work is a huge embarrassment . Mass state troopers should be hugely embarrassed . Trooper Proctor especially is maturity level is frightening. It really appears, that he set out to coverup any issues stemming from the Alberts and make sure the blame points to Karen Read. Very scary for the public to see how unprofessional our police force is.
I do think they all drink too much.
Dr Carol yeah. I feel sorry for any couples seeing her. Just goes on a hunch and concludes and then speaks from that perspective. She is a disgrace.
But yeah Karen and John also probably drank too much
@@wandile. So did the rest of the Troopahs
Yes. Seems most of them were alcoholics. Alcohol played a massive roll in all of this. Who wasn't pissed ?
For adults, yes. For frat boys, no.
she also flirted with atf guy and trashed the kids. what a mess she is
And while she's accusing him of seeing other women she was flirting and texting other police officers 🙄
She was pissed and did it. Maybe not intention but she thought she may have. It is the only thing that made sense. She was cheating with his buddy.
As a psychotherapist working with couples, it is possible Karen has what’s called Anxious Attachment. Doesn’t mean she hit him, but all her texts say to me is that she has this anxious attachment style, and he possibly avoidant attachment style. If you want to learn more, the booked Attached is really good at explaining these attachment styles.
Yeah. And I think she was attached to the kids, too. It’s not just breaking up with John, it breaking up with the kids. Which means the break up takes longer to actually happen for good. Break ups are hard. People are forgetting that. Just because she didn’t want kids doesn’t mean this wasn’t breaking her heart. The texts showed me that John was a lousy boyfriend, not that she’s guilty of murder.
Exactly. I work with couples and intimate partner violence survivors as well. And those texts are not what I'd expect to see before such a drastic escalation.
Compare and contrast Karen's texts with Ali Abulaban's messages to his victim for example...
There appears to be some anxious attachment/distanced pursuer dynamics going on, but that doesn't usually lead to homicide IME.
And a person with anxious attachment’s biggest fear is abandonment. But they often communicate in ways to create breakup b/c it fits the subconscious narrative in their mind that “everyone leaves me”. So I think she was subconsciously creating the conditions for him to break it off. Which can be overwhelming to even a person with a secure attachment style. These texts in no way prove motive or intent. This is normal insecure attachment communication. She wanted nothing more than his full attention and commitment. Doesn’t prove murder. This is so common in couples communication.
Simply, she could not tolerate rejection. The officers and their families had no motive to kill John but she did.
@@Elsley12- You aren't paying attention or can't comprehend the lack of truth and fact to prove the changes
All those texts tell me is John was taking advantage of Karen’s generosity taking care of those kids. She didn’t kill him. His injuries were caused by that dog.
because she said so in those texts? She sounds so crazy! tell me if you have someone else? calling him constantly! why you said that? so what you apologized? what does she want to hear? its repetitive over and over and over! omg!
@@paradise-w7uLucky you. Never being stonewalled or gaslight by a boyfriend! Nice! Lemme tell you. It drives you nuts. Are you committing murder after? I never murdered anyone but my text history will tell a doozy of a messed up break up.

Wow! I can't believe so many people believe the way she acted in Aruba, the text messages and ALL those phone calls are just normal bickering between couples? I'd run away fast from that ` normal' bickering.
Also can't stand her eye rolling and smirks in the courtroom
If karen really wanted it to work, she wouldnt have kissed Higgins in Johns house. She has no moral character
I totally agree with you! And some of the faces she makes during court are inappropriate.
She will never ever testify they would tear her apart she knows that her attorneys know that she gulity as sin
Karen could not have hit him based on Trooper Paul's account of this. His arm is a hinge and would have been shattered. In order for him to have gone 30 ft, the vehicle would have had to hit him in the chest, mass portion of his body. No broken arm or bones to the torso. I
Yeah people get caught up in the drama and ignore the physical evidence
I agree with you. The CW accident reconstruction "expert" would have the jury belive she hit his arm with her vehicle and he ended up 30 feet away. Gross incompetence.
I came into this thinking she was guilty. But after watching the trial there's so much reasonable doubt there's no way she could be found guilty. Not to mention some of the things the judge has done. I have a lot of reasonable doubt and they still haven't showed us how he died. The reconstructionist trooper Paul was a major failure.
She got her a$$ chewed for buying donuts for breakfast. And he got mad because she paid for the neices nails. How dare she? But the second John needed a ride, suddenly he was all "lovey dovey" again. I don't know who's more toxic? Lieberman or CoffinDiver. I love ya vinnie but your guest list is kinda sketchy as of late.
Yeah guest list is off
@Mine.photosYES!!! Totally!!! I mean God forbid we have anything bad to say about an officer that adopted orphaned children. I mean I do think he was a stand up guy. Obviously a stand up cop. But he was taking her for granted. Everybody is afraid to say that. Nobody would send angry texts to someone they just killed either. I've never seen such a farce in my life. Lally saying the dog bite lady (who let's a minute to 👏) was unqualified after Trooper Paul's testimony was incredulous. My jaw hit the floor when he said that.😂
@@loudMouse11 I agree he was probably taking advantage but she’s a grown woman! She couldn’t seem to take a hint… maybe a little obsessed!? What you allow in a relationship will continue!
Yeah. No arguments about that either.
Hence the divorce rate lol Doesn't mean she killed him. I've married for 24 years but our hardest years were when we were raising our kids. (About to have our 1st grandbaby. Hubby thinks we're broke now. Just wait😂😂 Hold my mom beer cuz grandma 2.0 gonna step in) but seriously I have 100% unequivocally not seen any proof Karen murdered him.
When I heard her texts messages I felt empathy for her.. I have been in a relationship where I felt insecure, desperate, and full of anxiety. All of which I heard in her messages. I don’t see anything else in her messages and it definitely DOES NOT mean she hit him and left him for dead🙄🤦🏻♀️ Sometimes people, (couples), don’t get along.. That’s NORMAL!!!!!
Really? That is sad. Where is your empathy for John. KR text messages are invasive and controlling; unacceptable behavior. JO set boundaries. Her behavior is toxic. She is not a young woman. She is old enough to know when to stop.
I agree. It’s a narcissistic move from John. Men can behave in low ways. Gaslighting playing games. Etc. Manipulation evading etc. 💯 true. We get he’s dead now, but the facts are that toxic behavior did extend rom him. Cops have power they can behave despicably. This woman talking in the pink scarf is wrong. John may have stated that h wanted space, but she may have said the same thing in certain moments. As we can see w the text. It’s manipulative a power struggle on both sides. Just look closely, he wants a ride from her it’s like a carrot in a stick. He was a narcissist. RIP John, but facts are what they are. Each side, manipulation toxic controlling and an attempt to try to fix the relationship. Not to get a reaction but to get him to ask to come along. The man controlling manipulating her by keep8g her close. Reason why she started to try to get away and date elsewhere. She was in her right to do so, since he was being a narcissist gaslighter. No wonder she begun to doubt him. ONKY she knew what he was capable of. Sorry but both of them had an issue. He didn’t want out. He was hanging w her, he was manipulative. It’s terrible that he died, but he died die to his fake corrupt cop friends. Those kids are ungrateful. They can be honest and say things they both said and both their behavior, the kids just want to say what they’ve been manipulated to say. Sad situation.
@@Anna-ww4pv when I made this post I was not saying that I don’t have empathy for John O’Keefe. Obviously, he is the victim that passed away here, which is incredibly sad, and I really feel for his family. Me saying that, does not mean that I cannot express me having empathy for Karen Reed as well. I specifically connected to HER, as she is the female in this situation, and I’m a female as well. I do agree that she was saying things that were off putting and out of line, but so was he. Their relationship was extremely toxic!

Oh please...I never feel sorry for Karen Read. She's got the MONEY...The RICH Daddy ... and the means. And its people like this one.. who get to walk free.
Karen is a very insecure person, very jealous and I really feel she has mental health issues. I do believe she killed him in a fit of jealous passion, we saw what she was like in Aruba. She is jealous of the attention he gives the children, she is a very jealous person, it is a very toxic relationship I agree with the counselors.
Does not prove anything.
@@md8465 Just like Karen SAYING that John was killed in Arnolds' house does not mean it happened.
Absolutely no evidence that she killed him. His injuries, especially on his arm look like a dog attack. You can even google what a dog attack looks like. He didn’t have any injuries to his torso. How was he killed by a vehicle.
Maybe if you were treated like a babysitter with benefits you would to!!
IMO, John was sick of constantly arguing, her constantly stalking and harassing him. KR is a Leach....She couldn't except he was done with her for quite a while now. KR thinks she is entitled. She is guilty of taking his life deliberately...

Mental Health professionals isn't psychobabble. Their assessment is quite valid and accurate.
@@holly_kay5570"Mental Health professionals" are not ethically allowed to diagnose etc without spending time and meeting the requirements and standards of assessment with the actual person in question. You are confusing their personal opinions with professional analysis and assessment. Its not possible from reading texts that someone, or anyone, can accurately and professionally meet the standards of assessment. So your opinion that their "assessment is quite valid and accurate" simply means you agree with their personal opinion. Court tv misrepresented their opinions as expert opinions... An expert in a certain field can have an opinion that is not an expert opinion. There was not a professional assessment done here, just personal opinions on abstract subjective texts. Therefore not expert. Genuinely appreciate your opinion and send this message with respect 👍
@@delorusclaiborne3274 No diagnosis was given. However KRs behaviors were discussed and assessed by these experts in the context of the messages she sent that were disrespectful and manipulative.

Her actions prove she hit him. I don't think she meant to kill him, just scare him or hurt him. Not thinking he was severely hurt & dying in the cold snow
Guilty
She is guilty 100% she may not lose/ possibly a hung jury. Do believe her defense is doing a good job even though he is as seedy as F. She absolutely did it. Yes a motive, she didn’t plan it. She did hit him in a raging drunken jealous state, when driving off. She is a “whack job” . The knowledge of driving off: this is what makes her even more guilty. She was only 2 min away but yet calls him and says she was worried. It’s mind boggling/how many ppl think she is innocent?!1 JO never went into that house.
As for that female whiteness they tried to bring on last min. She was following the case, she hates law enforcement, she felt she was bullied while she was working in law enforcement. She also hates men in general. So totally bias. The judge is bias yes because she should be, she know the truth but it’s not her choice. It’s the jury. Also if you saw her texts, you can tell she was manipulative & got him to go out with her. She is slimy just like her lawyer.
It's mind boggling how you think she is guilty without evidence proving it.
Your comments about her are awful , you don't know her , you are worse than proctor
She surely did it.

I think she’s guilty of vehicular man’s law and leaving the scene. I don’t think she planned on killing him.
And my comment is deleted!!
Vinnie is out of touch with drunk woman’s behavior. He keeps asking why was Karen doing all the things she was doing if she murdered him. Well she was drunk as a fish! Yes she called him 53 times and yes she called him after she hit him and told him she hated him! She kept calling because she knew what she did and she wasn’t sure if he was ok. That’s why she texted him about the kids being home alone, that would be the one thing she knew he would respond to. I don’t think she meant to kill him, but she did. Hopefully there will be lesser included charges like manslaughter. Just like I’m putting the pieces together the jury will too.
Her lawyers are muddying the waters, but there are to many things for her to overcome IMO. She can try to malign law enforcement all she wants she’s guilty and she knows it!!
I agree w/you. Lesser charge. But yeh..take some responsibility.
The problem is she went back to Fairview and didn’t call 911 when she realized what happened.. she left him there .. if she called an hour earlier he could have possibly recovered. It’s all very sad and unnecessary
That’s YOUR opinion.
@@SunnyDays70s Sure! Just like you telling me “that’s YOUR opinion”, that quote is your opinion! See how that works😂. We all have one🤪.
@@Thegirl1936 Exactly. You have yours and I have mine. Have a good day.
Vinnie’s initial question is wrong, “Would KR want to kill JO?” The right question is, “Is KR capable of becoming so infuriated that she loses control?”
I see no emotion from Karen, that her boyfriend is dead. If she didn't do it, wouldn't she be sad or upset to see the disturbing photos of John from the autopsy, etc.? I would be devastated! I do see her mad reactions, and her very piercing looks at witnesses. That doesn't look good to the jury.
A lot of people are saying this, but 1. The boyfriend has been dead over 2 years. 2. She's on trial for her life. (So, there must be many conflicting emotions.) 3. Defense attorney's usually advise to show neutral emotions because some people will read "emotion" as crocodile tears, others will read no emotion as "not caring," and one simply can't win with whatever emotion they do/don't show. 4. Remember only one person literally did something, anything to try to save his life (even though it was too late.)
@ karenberg4903 I agree! She has no trouble being smug or smirking at other’s trials but I see nothing warm or heartfelt from her ever! Two years isn’t that long in a grieving process when you really loved someone imo.
How do you know she doesn’t cry before court ? After court ? Did you see her on the dash cam ? I didn’t see any of the people from the house crying ? Btw no emotions allowed on court . She would get reprimanded from the judge. Duh
I don't think it was planned, heat of the moment, pissed of, arguing, he just plucked the last nerve. She hit him, probably not intentionally. Drove off.
That’s what I think. I don’t think she knew that she hit him. I don’t know if she was blacked out drunk. But I find it odd that she woke up in a panic and essentially went straight to the place where she would’ve hit them. Why don’t you just call the Albertsons and say hey is John sleepover there? The fact that she went in a panic back to that spot tells me that in the back of her head, she either thought or knew she hit something. And now she was realizing it it was John.
Oh, please take the stand! It's not up to her defense. It is up to her! She knows she was angry at John, and she hit him, then left the scene! Who the heck asks, did I hit him? If you are innocent! Use your common sense, people!
Agree
Did you even watch the commonwealth expert saying how the “crash” happened?! It makes no sense and doesn’t follow laws of physics . John’s injures don’t line up with being hit by a car and “projected 30 feet” like the commonwealth alleges.
Well said
@pinklady5795. You may be 100 percent correct. However, if she indeed has 9 drinksc that 100 pound little thing was ANNIHILATED. I’m guessing she doesn’t know for sure what happened. Who knows.
@vincedidiana5781 I thought that too early on, but she should have felt something or heard the beeping when she backed up, wouldn't you think? I have never watched a more confusing trial! Haha!
Dr. Lieberman is so off, IMHO. The texts later talk about him asking if she is goin and why she didn't ask him and his dad to help with plumbing. I disagree with her opinion.
She definitely hit him. Whether it was done intenitionally or not is up for debate but the fact that she went back to the scene before she called Jenn and Kerry rather than calling 911 is very damming, had she gotten help for him, he could still be alive. She was the first one to see the body under a mound of snow that is very suspicious.
I agree.
@@eleanoraquitaine2966 I think she wanted to spend some alone time with him and didnt want to go the party but he chose to go anyway without her and she lost it.
Her attitude and lack of any remorse....is unbelievable
Did you watch the dash cam ? No remorse ? Really ? That’s Jen McCabe . How about the inverted video ?
I wouldn’t be so confident if I were Karen Reed because you really can’t predict what a jury will decide.
She hasn’ shown any remorse either
Slash, exactly what I’ve been saying the judge, jurors and prosecutors already have her as guilty, the judges is just trying to get any credible evidence to to put the final nail in
@@Babyd320 she acts as if she’s not on trial, all smiles, making faces throughout testimonies and acting arrogant!! So disrespectful to the court, jury and to the O’keef family!! She needs to step off her high horse!!
Exactly, look at Casey Anthony!
@@theresafeeney2756 EXACTLY!! No one ever expected that verdict, not even Casey Anthony herself and boom NOT GUILTY!! Shocking 😮
My money is a fight took place in the basement, otherwise there would be no re-homed dog, no reason for redone basement, no reason to get rid of phones and sim card, no reason to sell house, and no reason to sell Ford Edge..
Yup and he retired also!
@@theresafeeney2756 Just watching now..there appears a break..looked to me when Dr Russell said she got dog bites in Canton..what if there is no report on the woman, that is why they said Chole was rehomed..this caused the break by Lally??
Seems to me, if she knew she hit him but maybe wasn’t sure he was dead, so she is frantically trying to get him to reply. At the time she didn’t know he was dead. Otherwise, why drop him off at a party then tell him to get home quick.
Bingo!!!!
she looks guilty as hell in the background video of her
53 calls. Trying to establish a false alibi. She called so many times to make it seem she really didn’t know what happened to John. Her texts were consistent with her rage, drunk and desperate.
She was to drunk to think out some "alibi" come on...
I think Karen could get jealous at times but doesn’t make her guilty.
She is a pathological liar. She k owes what she did but is really convincing herself she is innocent. For F sake case should be over. She could care less how many lives she destroyed. Very selfish child like brat.
Some people put out a good facade but are at odds at home!
She didn't put a good face in Aruba but was happy at the bar.
Now you’re diagnosing people
My opinion.....Karen hit him with her damn car and knew she was leaving him unconscious and highly inebriated. He didn't die immediately, so Karen kept calling to find out his condition. IF she was effing worried and panicked, she KNEW where she left him. She made no attempt to GO back or let the Albert's know John was most likely in the snow. She called no one who would know where he was !!!! She left him...he died. She killed him because he wanted her ass OUT of his and the kids lives!!!!!!
,,,exactly..(to: @suesingleton4927)
Those texts makes me feel that Karen really cares for JO and the kids and JO is just inappreciative of Karen. Those texts doesn’t mean killing someone ! I don’t buy what these 2 ladies are saying!
Yet you would believe that three different families were involved in a grand cover-up? WHAT is the motive? Have not heard why the Arnolds', McCabes, or Higgins would want Mr. O'Keefe dead.
If I were her I wouldn’t speak ever
Oooo yes! Better not 😀. Especially with that face and obsessed personality
@@Aksel38 Wow you U.S guys are truly hateful over there🤦🏽♀️
Karen comes off arrogant and willing to point the finger at anyone to get away from accountability.She was obsessed with John , obviously.who calls someone that many times BK to BK ,when they say stop calling .She was drunk and knew she hit him and where to find him on the lawn.Those marks on his arm could have been from a previous fight with Karen or scratches from sliding along frozen ground .Maybe she did drag him a few feet with the car . She's guilty .
Unfortunately they couldn't prove it.🤷🏻♀️
Wait for the FBI experts. You obviously haven't watched the trial
I agree that she was OBSESSED with John! He was pulling away and it was killing her!!
Guilty girl. 😠😊
@@LadyLuck13 the ones who said there is insufficient information for them to conclude what happened?
She backed up fast, a looonnnggg way. No way he wasn't her target. She meant to bump, not necessarily kill him. They already admitted it as an accident early on. Some " brilliant" blogger who thinks hes the smartest in the room, started this whole lie. Hopefully, the jurors are smarter.
Explain the evidence then , explain with 100% physics how the car hit him , to match his injuries , for his body to end up where it did , how the light pieces landed in the exact same position, the glass in the same position as the body , one shoe a distance away from his body.
I'm afraid you will never ever explain that evidence , because none of it fits with him being hit by a car.
@steve, how bout you wait for the medical examiner to testify in the coming days?? There may well be internal injuries.
@steve10... did I ask YOUR opinion of MY comment?
@@jtjones4081 the medical examiner is just there for an opinion, the scene where his body was will never ever match a car hitting him , that is physical evidence that physics shows is impossible.
If he was hit by the car , this would have been an easy case for the prosecution but every turn and every expert has messed up. It's easier to find the truth than it is to hide a lie.
@@terrys.1401 😀😀😀 on a public "forum" you don't need to ask
She was drunk and frustrated that he was not into her anymore , she intentionally hit him . She knew exactly where he was lying dead .
100% true, but I don’t think she intentionally hit him, but she definitely did.
I would love for an explanation as to how his body ended up where it did, because it wasn't from being hit by a car
@@steve10 it was from getting hit by a car. Ur welcome
@@bryanmurphy3035 NO , it was ruled undetermined, she couldn't say if it was a vehicle/pedestrian accident , she then said his head injuries are not consistent with a fight , doesnt mean a fight didn't happen and he walked outside and slipped and hit his head.
I know you are desperate, but don't exaggerate what was said
@@bryanmurphy3035 we have more medical examiners tomorrow, she never said where all the cuts came from , she basically spoke about his head injury , which still wasn't proven either way.
Tomorrow's examiner may explain the cuts are consistent from a fight , because they aren't from a car hitting him
She seems like she just can't let go
Here is an idea. The cop that was killed because he got into a physical fight with one of the cops because he kept calling karen a B word and when he told him to stop bad mouthing his girlfriend that they are working it out the other cop continued and a fight happened. The other cops got involved being it looked like the one that is dead started it but being they were all drinking things got out of control. The dog gets in the fight while they are restraining him treating him like a criminal. They end up unaliving him and panic. They go threw his phone knowing he was having issues with his girlfriend and the fight was about the girlfriend so they figure set her up for what all of them just did. This is what the evidence shows me.
First of all I believe she killed that man. Secondly those poor kids to lose a parent & to be adopted by the brother of that parent only for this evil self centered monster to take him away from them I’m sad for those kids
John never adopted his niece & nephew, he was only their guardian.
Your wrong.
People were gossiping saying that he was using her as a babysitter so she probably heard about it and was trying to see if it was true.
He didn’t want to be a single parent so he kept stringing her along. Doesn’t point to murder.
total narc to say that about the kids
No a narcissist Is JM who dragged her daughter into the situation. For Colin . Feds are watching they are allll going down
WTF are you all talking about ??? Seriously, she wasn’t just coming into their lives !!! She had been a significant part of all of their lives for 2 years and especially over COVID
Inside for all that time !
Right! And after killing John she disappeared from their lives in 15 minutes and NEVER talked to them again! 🥸
I think she ran into him, but was calling him so much hoping he would be ok, she was frightend
No way. His arm does not look like he was hit by a car. No way in he’ll would an arm react that way to being hit by a car moving so slowly.
Blackout drunk. She weighs 98 pounds. I’d be hammered if i had that many vodkas in that short of time and i weigh twice that.
That’s what I think too. I think she was subconsciously aware she hit him, even though she had no conscious awareness or memory b/c of the alcohol.
@@Dwntwnsuzibrwn why what’s the evidence he was hit by a car
@@Dwntwnsuzibrwn also - she called him many many many times before the accident so calling him after is consistent
I personally think it’s a cover up. I don’t think she did it. It sounds like he was leading her on a bit or not communicating. She was confused about the situation and hurt. But I still do not believe she did it or hurt him.
These two do not know the case very well. Do either of them know that the FBI hired experts that will refute the this ax was caused by KRs Lexi’s? The accident has to be caused by the vehicle, and the injuries are not consistent. They a have already convicted her. These two are clueless about this case and I’m surprised you actually had them on Vinnie! Please bring people that have followed the case so that they know all the facts.😊
The conflict about the kids was about Karen spoiling them! That morning she got them Dunkin Donuts & he was upset!! They need to actually get more info on the case before giving their opinions!!
People commenting that’s it’s just normal relationship stuff must have been in some pretty toxic relationships.
Thank you! I am like... uuuumm. Might be time for some therapy or .. moving along. Thank you!
Right!! This is not normal.
It’s end of relationship talk.
Yup. I have been. But there are no murdered exes in my history.
I know, right!! if you think it’s normal to call somebody 53 times in one night and say I effing hate you. You’re a loser. And say that that’s a normal relationship??? not in my book
The fact that she says there is no case after 8 weeks and it’s just smoke and mirrors is WILD. She is not only guilty, but delusional.
Is that why The Feds hired a reconstruction expert ? The Feds don’t hire for guilty people ?? Who are you relying on ? Trooper Paul who knows nothing about physics ,?
He was gaslighting her and he was using her As a babysitter with benefits. He wanted to go out to the bar and party and have her stay home and managed the children his way.
She was also gaslighting Brian Higgins and she didn’t got murdered. But John did! 🤓
She’s sounds like a pissed off wife to mee.. I would get mad too if my husband was partying and I was babysitting 🤷🏻♀️
Agreed.
Wow she’s trying to make him choose her over the kids. Disgusting.
You just eating up everything these women are saying. Like it’s fact or something 😂😂😂
I believe Karen is innocent
Some believe in Santa Claus. 🎄

Shes trying to take John away from kids. Shes jealous of the kids 😮
These women are making stuff up
Objection - speculation. You don’t know.
@@Cochita322agree 💯 well said.
Seems to me she got on really well with the kids and John was jealous of that relationship
I am going to trust what the experts have to say Thursday. Honestly when Proctor took the stand and Failed to do a thorough investigation for a fallen Boston officer I knew he was helping the Albert's.
She killed him by accident or not it still happened bcuz she likes to be in control and it would hurt the girls he was caring for. Not sure why ppl say free her if it was still manslaughter and she wasn’t very nice. Even when she wasn’t drunk she felt treats towards family friends and other women. She’s a narcissist and hasn’t shed a tear during this trial when they talk about her boyfriend. Frozen and didn’t see him when she came back. Lastly.. should she have been drinking and driving. The police setting her up is ridiculous whether true or not why her? No one else ? Check the history of those officers but no matter what, the texts show her true colors.
I think she is innocent! The recollection of evidence was contaminated, no investigation inside the house, etc. Where is the dog, why they give him away? 🤷🏽♀️
Wait a minute it's definitely not up to the attorney's whether or not she testifies she's just relinquishing that and I understand that but let's not make the mistake of thinking she can't testify if she wants to. I think she just knows better
It is when she trusts them and their expertise. Smart clients don’t go against their good lawyers.
You never know… she comes across as she thinks she’s smarter/better than everyone else and we all remember Alex Murdaugh! I don’t think she’s stupid or narcissistic enough to take the stand but people can surprise you! It would be catastrophic!(imo)
@@JustLikeJulia9 exactly what I was thinking LOL Alec murdaugh.
@@JustLikeJulia9 agree. And she's vindictive IMO. I think she really wants to get up there but the lawyers know her angry side will probably become apparent.

Yep! Total loss of control!!
Anyone can say things when they are angry. That means nothing
FIFTY THREE texts over how long? 30 minutes? An hour? FIFTY THREE! She was not trying to get ahold of him, she was hoping he was not dead and would answer. Because she damn well knew she hit him.

“killing the relationship” and hours later John’s isn’t alive any longer???
She was obsessive and pathetic behaviour and didn’t like rejection, guilty.
Except John continued to ask her to join him. Mixed messages much? Always blame the woman eh?
She wasn’t rejected that night . Duh .. she has a great job . Makes alot of money . She doesn’t need JO
These guests don't know anything about this case. Everything they say makes no sense.
They are ignorant and lack knowledge and expertise. Why would he have them on⁉️ desperate to have them on. Nobody else available. They make his show look amateur snd unreliable. Those women sound miserable and biased snd crazy
look at Karen lying! kids testified Karen came to canton, but she texted I'm back in Mansfied!
So? Trying to get his ass on gear and get on home IS HORRIFYING!
She said that to get a response from him! He said he was relying on her to get a ride home that night so she was trying to encourage a response! She wasn't ever actually in Mansfied.
John treated Karen like a fishing pole. Throwing her out and reeling her back in. He used her and she just need a straight answer but John wouldn't give her one. I'd have left his ass and not look back. If she was feeling used, then he most likely was using her.
Just don't believe this was murder.
She killed john
Men also push for relationships to continue. Not just women.
The ER doctor is wrong . Very wrong . They are not dog bite . I have seen lots lots dog bites at the medical examiner’s office
What do you think those marks from?
Looks K-9 to me
I don't see a motive in the text messages. What I find upsetting about her, is her communicating with Brian Higgins behind John's back, when she was accusing him of flirting with another woman in Aruba. Was John aware that Karen was talking to other men?
Honestly I don’t know but I don’t think John cared! Probably would’ve been glad to get her off his jock!
Jennifer, after reading these texts, it’s even more apparent her 2 week text fling with Higgins was solely to make Mr. O’Keefe jealous.
I think Karen is actually flirting with her Lawyer-Jackson. And I don't like how arrogant they both act
They were buried under snow, exactly the officers were working under awful conditions. I’m from MA. The snow storms are intense. They absolutely did NOT plant any evidence. It bugged me that people were making fun of how he spoke or looked. That’s goes to show you the mentality of the people that think she is innocent.
Every couple has their ups and their downs, as Karen Reed and John O'Keefe apparently had their differences, except in this case, Karen Reed was living in John O'Keefe's home, and shacking up with him period however, this is not the point. It is clearly showing that Karen Reed and John O'Keefe we're in a toxic relationship where John O'Keefe was tirelessly trying to kick her out of his life for good. He wanted to break up with her. It is apparent that Karen Reed has a toxic over jealous negative attitude. She was overly controlling of John O'Keefe, even though she was living in his home, and I mean it was his home. Karen Reed was was extremely crowding John O'Keefe, and his space. It clearly proves that when there is overtime the beginning of differences between 2 people, whereas, John O'Keefe had become tired of the continuous arguments, and the controlling dominance that Karen Reed was absolutely mentally Disturbed, and that she absolutely after she had become acquainted with John o'keefe, and found herself comfortable with him, she started behaving as though she was his wife, rather than a girlfriend. John O'Keefe got tired of her over jealous attitude. Karen Reed and John O'Keefe way in advance of John O'Keefe's death, John O'Keefe's had already been in the works of trying to exit himself from her, because he wanted to end the relationship with her. So what, Karen Reed and John O'Keefe wore out partying around with some of their friends, and had a little bit too much to drink, but the night in question of Karen Reed's drunkenness episode, where as she was driving under the influence of alcohol, and it was a extreme snow storm, but still, after she, John O'Keefe and their friends had finished gathering at the bar where they had rounds of drinks, and have been invited to the house of friends of theirs, the relationship between Karen Reed and John O'Keefe had already gone a downward Sparrow Road in the relationship, which had nothing to do with the night of everyone's get together. Karen Reed and John O'Keefe had already had problems in the relationship, which John O'Keefe had already increasingly grown tired of Karen Reed's controlling attitude, and her over jealousness of everyone home was in John O'Keefe's life. Perhaps she was always making accusations to him that maybe she was not getting attention from him. However, anytime there begins to become a downward Sparrow Road in any relationship between two people, there's always going to be a distance between the same two people, as John O'Keefe had already distanced himself from Karen Reed, because he could not take her attitude no more, and also the fact that John O'Keefe has adopted his niece and nephew, where as John O'Keefe's sister and brother-in-law had passed away, which were the parents of John O'Keefe's niece and nephew. John O'Keefe spelled it was time to exit his relationship with Karen Reed, because also, the relationship and the continual arguments was affecting John O'Keefe's niece and nephew Taryn Reid has a toxic personality, which she refuses to control her emotions. She is a person who has to be in control of a man Karma and precisely any man with whom she is having a relationship with, and she had entered into a relationship with John O'Keefe whom is now deceased, she will continue to have a domineering personality with the next man that comes along. Taryn Reed refuses to accept responsibilities that even if in a small Speck of responsibility, Karen Reed refuses to acknowledge that she has a problem. Truthfully speaking, Karen Reed needs psychiatric care, and hopefully, if she is found guilty of second-degree murder, maybe the women's prison where she should be sent to will have a psychiatric unit, and at least behind bars where she will be incarcerated for a long period of time, at least, she will be off the streets, and away from every other man. No man deserves to have someone who has mental issues like, Karen Reed. Karen Reed is her own problem, because she was the problem in her relationship with John O'Keefe. If anything, John O'Keefe did not feel like he had a home, he felt like he was in prison with a mentally delusional young woman home will not grow up to her age level. So what, she worked at a college, that doesn't mean anything. A individual can appear to look good on the outward appearance, and out in public, while behind closed doors, and away from the community or the public, there is problems behind closed doors . John O'Keefe was a declaration police officer. It doesn't matter whether he'd like to drink casually or if that wasn't a habit of his, still John O'Keefe felt like Karen Reed was imprisoning him, because she was trying to control him and she made his life miserable. It wasn't John O'Keefe who was controlling Karen Reed, as it was she who was controlling him. I think that Karen Reed's attorneys are mean and destructive. They come across to the witnesses like dogs fighting in a dog match. It is devastating when a witness takes to the witness stand, and you have a attorney who is supposed to behave professionally, but whom dogmatically insults Witnesses, and intentionally insults each Witness whether that witness is testifying for the prosecution or the witnesses testifying for the defendant, Karen Reed's attorneys are disrespectful to all of the witnesses.
those texts make Karen out to be normal, John seems like the asshole actually
ANOTHER motive for a jealous, angry woman. Jealousy, one of the oldest reasons on the planet why wives and girlfriends kill their significant other.
They make KR look like the desperate clingy woman she was!
Every couple argues but not everyone's partner ends up dead after they argue and that's the problem here..
They argued a lot and John turned up dead.!!
The prisons are full of such people who have snapped in a moment of rage during an argument and especially while intoxicated.
These texts are important because it shows that it was more likely than not that, once again they got into another argument that night,
outside the house.
It also shows that it was a pattern of behaviour in their relationship and a build up of contempt and resentment.
When someone is intoxicated they are much more likely to snap a lash out and they have less control of their impulses and reactions.
What's more likely to have happened...that she hit and killed John during an argument or
That at the same time John was going through a bad relationship constantly arguing with Karen,
a group of people killed him and then framed her ??.. the odds of it being the latter is ridiculously absurd.
The explanation that requires the fewest assumptions is most likely correct..
That is Karen hit him, it's a extra and unnecessary assumption to say...
"someone made it appear like she did it" rather than she actually did it.. which requires the far fewer assumptions, if any at all.
Wouldn't her trying to spend time with him "alone" be better than hashing out whatever issues they had in front of the kids? I would rather not argue around the kids.
18:55 and who says that the text right then was saying the kids were causing the toxicity could it not have been his friends.
By the time he is at the bar he is the one trying to control the dynamic, keeps on asking if she is still coming, telling her that he is now relying on her for a lift home if his mate leaves, how would he be getting home if she had decided not to join him at the bar. Plus he didn't even go home he went to go party more and she headed home, she wasn't going to the party.
Who was looking after the kids?
If she was trying to get hold of JOK why would she desperately be trying to get hold of him, she even calls friends and family who says she wasn't she looking for him because she couldn't get hold of him.
And let's be honest most of the people in this case had all been drinking and driving. KR shouldn't have been driving and JOK as a police officer should not have let her get in the drivers side, they should've got in a taxi.
I joined this case very late so if those questions have already been answered I apologise.
I agree with all of what you said. The 18:55 text, I also understood it like she wanted to be alone at the bar with him to talk, not with other friends. He was very cold in the previous texts, they were having a discussion, so clearly keep having that conversation with other friends seems toxic. Then he pressured her to meet him at the bar. I mean, wtf? Can't he get an uber? The nerve to demand that after almost breaking up with her says a lot about him.
better she get a dui than the good old officer huh
