We’re just about five weeks from the retrial in the Karen Read murder case.
And as the date approaches, things have been heating up on both sides.
Which brings us to yesterday afternoon, when the drama reached mid-season form.
Judge Beverly Cannone visibly trembled as she adjourned the session, citing ‘evidence’ that she says changes everything.
‘They relied on a reciprocal discovery order of this court for that information.’
‘The implications of that information may have profound effects on this defense and defense counsel.
So Read’s legal team called a witness to testify on accident reconstruction.
He helped their case by explaining how her SUV could not have caused O’Keefe’s injuries.
The defense asserted they did not hire him.
Are you with me so far?
Stay with me, now.
Now it appears they did, in fact, pay their expert.
Just shy of $24,000, as a matter of fact.
I was a badge monkey.
I let the judges do the actual … well, judging.
I mean, this can’t be good for the defense.
But maybe as legal issue it won’t have much of an impact one way or the other.
We’ll know for sure on February 25th.
To those of us who live on the internet, this will be a tough loss.
Because the witness we’re all discussing was one of the true breakout stars of the first trial.
An instant sensation who rocked the legal and social media world.
I’m talking about none other than Crash Daddy.
But not just among those with a predilection toward men who cut an attractive figure.
Crash Daddy made more babies with that bit of testimony that Tyreek Hill did in all of 2023.
And now the possibility of any future return to the witness stand is very much up in the air.
It’s in Cannone’s hands.
If it were up to a popular vote, it would be a landslide election.
But even the Commonwealth has rights that need to be protected.
