Karen Read Trial - Take 2

[ASHES]

The judge ruling on the new Commonwealth report. Her findings for the record is that the defense has not convinced her of any undue surprise or unfair prejudice by the new report, or delayed disclosure.

 

[ASHES]

Perhaps one of her worst rulings yet. This was written by former Massachusetts judge Carol Erskine.

Here is the jury instruction the judge gave to the jurors at the start describing her role. "My job, as the judge in this case, is to make sure the case is tried fairly, efficiently, and according to the law." Does anyone really believe the case is being tried fairly in accordance with the law if the judge allows in this amended report? I agree with Atty. Alessi. This issue makes it a trial by ambush and if allowed I agree the defense should be screaming for a mistrial. I will be surprised if she allows it because the potential to be overturned on appeal is so great. The idea that the a defendant has NO time to prepare an adequate defense to an amended report mid trial is in my view, an egregious and indefensible violation of Read's 6th amendment right to a fair trial. As always, I take no side on what the verdict should be in this case. That's for the jury.

Attorney Bederow is worked up. It's pretty surprising to alot of people she could rule that way, but also considering everything else going on, I guess not all that surprising.

 

[daeler]

Yeah there is no way this should be allowed. The judge is asking to get smacked down on appeals.

Commonwealth's ME, best defense witness so far:



A relatively short (20 minutes) analysis of the testimony offered by the ME and how it was helpful for the defense.

Just a tidbit of info as I'm following the Diddy case as well.

Sean Diddy Combs, lock that piece of shit up in a cell right next to R Kelly. Defense trying to destroy the pregnant Ventura (so typical), judge isn't having it.

The video of Ventura being slammed to the ground, punched, dragged and kicked says everything we need to know about the pig Diddy

 

[ASHES]

Honestly, it doesn't hurt the defense a lot if the Commonwealth pushes their time back. It's going to come out on cross (or even direct if they try to get ahead) that the SUV black box report changed a week after Whiffen testified to match his timeline. Previously it was 12:45, then 12:31, now it's 12:32. But we already know Read was home by 12:36am, so even 12:32am or later that Read hit O'Keefe doesn't work because it's a 10 minute drive so she had to have been gone by 12:26am. It shouldn't have been allowed but I think it's going to backfire spectacularly for the Commonwealth.

She doesn't care. You might find this interesting.


Overview: Judge Cannone gets it right a little more than half the time.
I found 10 published appellate decisions of Judge Cannone’s rulings that were issued between 2017 and the present. They consisted of 3 civil cases and 7 criminal cases. Of those 10 cases, she was affirmed 6 times and reversed 4 times.
....

If Karen Read is convicted, will it stick on appeal?

I looked into Judge Beverly Cannone's appeal record in published decisions. She doesn't always get it right, but that doesn't mean the reviewing courts will fix it.

Robert Alessi is a whiny bitch.

Already thinking about an appeal, that will be your next move if all of your predictions turn into shit.

I didn't bring it up. I think a conviction is never going to happen. But in the odd case the Bev meddling and jury tampering and fake evidence produce a guilty verdict, it would be immediately appealed and vacated.

 

[ASHES]

Robert Alessi is a whiny bitch.

No answer to the mountains of evidence of innocence. The fake confession could be made up with 100 different lying witnesses a hundred different ways, nobody gives a ****. The people claiming it aren't credible. The medical examiner won't even say that a vehicle hit O'Keefe. Your guilty tirade which has continued unabated since before the first trial is clearly based in a deep seated personal bias against the defendant and anyone who advocates for her. Evidence and reality be damned. Even with the wildly ever to this day shifting theory of how and when she hit him, you still think she did beyond a reasonable doubt. What a joke.

 

[ASHES]

Informative discussion on the latest trial developments by 3 attorney observers. It's an hour but well worth the time investment to learn a lot about the case in a relatively short time.



Key points of discussion including trial clips:

Brennan's argument for altering his timeline: (5:00)

Alessi's response: (6:35)

Brennan's change to the timeline is discussed: (7:50-11:00)

The judge's impartiality is the topic: (11:04-13:29)

Discussing the testimony of the medical examiner Dr. Scordi-Bello: (13:34-16:24) "Not only have they failed to prove Karen Read is guilty of murder or manslaughter, they haven't even established a homicide." Couldn't exclude dog bites. No evidence of frostbite. She ruled out falling on the ground causing the facial injuries but they could have been caused by a fist, etc.

The topic is Yuriy Bukhenik: (16:28-22:08) "Objectively, Yuriy Bukhenik should go in the dictionary under 'evasive.'" "He shouldn't have died fighting on that Proctor hill."

Discussion on Michael Proctor: (22:15-25:45) If he's called, the defense can bring in many more of his texts (give it to my wife, etc). In addition, other evidence that can only be introduced through him will become available, for example the Commonwealth says Proctor stuck the sallyport video in the back of his desk and didn't tell anyone, and that's why the defense didn't get it last trial. His firing too. That's all fair game. Also, he likely can't plead the 5th on any questions he previously answered under oath and was cross examined on.

Discussion on calling Higgins by the Commonwealth or defense: (25:50-29:50)

The ghosts in the sallyport/inverted video: (29:54-36:24)

Jessica Hyde's testimony: (36:27-38:25)

On Brennan: (38:25-40:30)

On the damage a district attorney with a bad case can do to a person and on the Commonwealth's motivations: (40:35-46:22)

The "asshole" comment while Bukhenik was on the stand: (46:25-47:10)

The question about whether the Feds/FBI is still watching/involved: (47:12-48:28)

Remainder is viewer comments and conclusion.

I am the one that started talking appeal.

Do you not see anything wrong with how the judge is calling this recent motion to change a report that was testified as accurate at the time?

Or the fact that the ME didn't conclude the cause of death?

I have no idea how this is even a trial at this point. The only thing they have for the prosecution is some people said they heard KR say I hit him. It could have been a question instead of a statement.

No damage actually lines up with the SUV hitting O'Keefe.

So many questions in this case.

He didn't answer any of your other questions.

If a witness constantly changes his testimony, how can you trust any of it?

I have only seen 2nd hand comments that she said that, can you link the comment from 48 hours?

You would think that would be the first thing they did. Why did they not? How to you explain all the temp discrepancies? Those are really weird right?

no clue, are you sure that was the actual split? why did they vote unanimously to acquit for leaving the scene? That seems odd that some would believe they hit him while not believing she fled the scene.....

Also there is different evidence that was presented in this trial that was not given to the defense last trial. Why is that?

How do you account for all the lies by the police and other witnesses?

Perhaps he doesn't like the answers. I do my best to answer all questions raised and present evidence to support my conclusions.

I have watched much of this court case. I believe without a doubt that Karen Read is being framed for O'Keefe's murder.

But, if she is found not guilty, what then? There is someone out there guilty of murder. And the defense has definitely pointed to that somone or some one's.

Which means that the law must go after it's own if she is found not guilty. And of course that is why they are circling the wagons to protect their own.

The old saying 'you can't fight city hall' is always true. They can and do direct the outcome.

In other words, I am not confident in the judicial system that exists there in Massachusetts to come to the truth, and the rightful verdict. All can be rigged.

My opinion.

Thank you for weighing in.

 

[ASHES]

Back in court today. We have the Commonwealth black box expert from Aperture on the stand today. Can't wait to hear him excuse his new report. Cross is going to be fun.

He is going to get buried by cross on his change of opinion based on another witnesses' testimony while he's supposed to be sequestered not watching the other witnesses testify.

He and his Bachelor degree in general studies is going to get outclassed by ARCCA and their PHDs as well. (Says he's not an accident reconstructionist.)

 

[ASHES]

Brennan says he's going to tell us about damaged vehicle computer modules and the timing information.

 

[ASHES]

He retrieved the SUV data and recieved "crash reports about the events that night" around December 2023.

What a load of shite. There's no contemporaneous crash reports based on this alleged accident. It's all post grand jury.

Asked if he ever recieved more information he's using, he says he did, he reviewed "vehicle forensics report" from the Commonwealth, documentation referred to him as evidence review, prior testimony of trooper Guirino, some surveillance video and a report by Whiffen.

 

[ASHES]

It's bad he hasn't even started saying his timeline but Brennan is already preparing for the hit.

Doesn't remember when he read anything from Guirino. Says it wasn't recently, probably late 2024. Asked about Whiffen's reports, he says he believes in January of this year. Says any video he received was this year, he doesn't remember a date. He takes that back. It was late January or early December.

He certainly didn't watch Whiffen testify and then change his report based on his testimony.

 

[ASHES]

He says he was specifically looking for something when he began working for the Commonwealth. He answers with a non answer and Brennan prompts him for what he was looking for.

He responds with he was looking for user data with timestamps, ignition events and other data.

He says there was 2 "tech stream" events in the airbag control module.

He says one was identified as a three point turn maneuver, the other identified as a "backing maneuver."

Says within that data, those events are documented with a "time count" which is a running timer from when the vehicle turns on, they were looking for data that would tell them when that power on would have occurred.

Now we get to watch his power point presentation.

 

[ASHES]

He says the important modules are the orange ones.


Says the modules are all individual computers, but they all communicate.

He says the black box is in the airbag control module.

He agrees the events recorded by the modules don't give an actual time but a time based on a running time since power on. Brennan asks if it could be referred to as a stopwatch, he says sure.

Says that data is kept in the airbag control module. Asked how he determines the actual time against the vehicle timer. Says you would need an event that occurs like a power on, with a timestamp to reference back the running clock. Says his primary focus when coming on the case was look at the modules and see if there was any data not recovered, and giving time-stamped data that may have been recorded.

 

[ASHES]

Says he concluded that the previous Commonwealth expert was missing data. He had a working theory about why. Either a bad or partial read of the chips, or the chip with the data was overlooked and not downloaded.

Ohhh LOL this is all just cover for when he got bits and bytes mixed up in voir dire leading him to have the wrong amount of data calculated, so they're trying to rehabilitate him on that before cross. Wow all this time and they're still just playing defense.
