"Sure"
More essential reading from Vanity Fair's Julie Miller. Beautifully written, as always.
Root says...“...It reflects a broken system where police investigate themselves, eroding transparency & making accountability nearly impossible. Karen’s case exposed what we already knew: the NCDAO...prioritize protecting their own over seeking the truth” vanityfair.com/style/story/ka…
Wondering . . . David Yannetti's name nowhere on the papers? He's Jackson's sponsor.
Brian Braman. Gone at age 38. Truly committed fans know how this guy was integral to the development of the personality of the team everybody loves to hate. Rest in peace, sir. You're now a legend. We'll always remember you. #FlyEaglesFly
So it looks like there's a name - Jessica Leslie. My hunch is, "She's telling them everything."
If @DoctorTurtleboy were in the path of the brewing federal grand jury storm, I think he would have had at least an inclining of it. He's lawyered up with the best, after all - and they hear things. But nothing in Aidan's demeanor of late suggests he's been feeling that breeze.…
The leak shouldn't come as a surprise. But the federal charge should raise an eyebrow. Let's assume this concerns the federal investigation into Officer O'Keefe's death. Does the US Attorney have an interest in whose platform might benefit?

"It's either her or me." A desire not to spend her life in prison catapulted Karen Read into a full force defense of her innocence at trial. She relied only upon the tools and the forum her corrupted accusers told her she must use. And she won. Karen Read will never face…
Some wonder why this or that question wasn't asked of a trial witness on cross examination by Karen Read's magnificent team. Others might call to mind this well-considered axiom: "An attorney never asks a question if they don't already know the answer." That's true, but a…
Massachusetts has a three year statute of limitations for wrongful death civil cases. The O'Keefe's complaint was brought in time under that statute. The statute of limitations doesn't affect potential third party complaints brought by any of the defendants - provided the third…
In the O'Keefe's Plymouth County civil wrongful death case, Karen Read's attorneys have filed a "Rule 9E Motion to Dismiss the Plaintiff’s Complaint." As we go along, we'll see references to two kinds of "rules" in this civil case - The Massachusetts Rules of Civil Procedure and…

I am pleased to say the crowd was so large for @DoctorTurtleboy's hearing this afternoon, I was unable to get into the courthouse. I even tried to chat up the tall blond court officer, but to no avail. 🤣 Next time, I'm wearing pastel. 🙄
Conscious disregard *is* a state of mind. A prosecutor introduces evidence of an accuseds' scienter only to the extent it supports one or more elements of the crime charged. Otherwise the evidence would be excluded as irrelevant. Herny Brennan quite literally screamed at the…
Thank you. I captured a screen grab when she was smirking over something silly AJ said. Because there’s no mens rea element for 2nd degree murder in MA. Karen just had to act reckless like opening the pedal to 70% going up to 24 mph in reverse having just dropped off JO.
My question - looking in hindsight, does Alan Jackson (or any other defense team member) think a bench-trying Judge Cannone would have found Karen Read struck and killed Officer O'Keefe? Not whether it would have been a correct ruling (it wouldn't) but whether she would have…
What do you think happened to John O'Keefe? "I'm going to leave that for a different time and place." - Alan Jackson
