I have some friends and distant relatives who are police officers. One of the strangest things to me in this trial so far is. You have EMTs, Fire, Police, lights, etc, all going on outside your home, and a man's body, a woman in a frantic situation yelling and crying. You also know who these people are. You're a police officer, whether local or out-of-town cop, but it's all happening in your front yard. You never go outside to see what's going on. You never come outside to help and see if they need any assistance. I'm not a cop, and if this was going on outside my home, I would go outside. A cop's intuition is that much more typically. My point is unless you are hiding something or not getting involved intentionally. So strange!!

If I’m the O’Keefe family I’m really starting to have questions about who killed my loved one 😵‍💫

[scott-uhes]

I think all the witnesses should be on trial for DUI.

[turtlecay]

This trial is a joke! It needs to be thrown out!

[zbobo]

Why is the Defendant lawyer not allowed to ask about communication that was being had with Albert Family?

[Lee-BrooklynsFinest]

Im still waiting for any evidence proving she purposely killed this man...

Trial was supposed to go until 1pm today. Right in the middle of cross examination of a prosecution witness that is getting cornered in another lie the judge abruptly ends the day at just 12:30 ! What happened to “ Wasting Time” ? Now this witness has to come back to court tomorrow when she could’ve been finished today if the judge just let defense finish their cross. Seems to me that the judge threw witness a lifeline to get her story straight.

[WaldenEmerson]

The judge interrupting testimony and ending court abruptly is so insane to me. 😮 wow

[alexandracorbo]

The judge ALWAYS wanting to end/disrupt absolutely RIVETING testimony JUST WHEN WE START GETTING SOMEWHERE FOR GOODNESS SAKE!! I want to pull my hair out by the damn root with this judge!

[THEEJuror]

I’ve never seen such a disrespectful court when it comes to the jurors time

[beckyz]

WHY IS THE JUDGE STOPPING THE DEFENSE DURING A STRONG MOMENT OF CROSS?? She is CONSTANTLY interrupting the defense, It really seems like she is biased too! These are questions and answers the jurors need to know! And why does she keep cutting the day so short??!

[brendanorton]

I have never seen/heard a judge interject so many times on behalf of a witness, as I have at this trial. I honestly think she’s making things worse for the prosecution. She’s MAKING this look like a cover up. JMO.

[beachgirl]

Who chews gum when they testify in a trial that's gained a lot of notoriety and is televised???? Weirdo,

[sandrabecht]

judge is shady. helping the state all the time

[r.g]

this case is going to remain unsolved. because there is serious doubt with Karen. and they will never invetigate the cops. and the cops messed up the crime scene. so no. i dont see this case getting solved. sorry for the victim's family and the victim.

[hectornegron]

I feel so bad for Miss Read and for John O'Keefe's family.
For Karen (and her family) bc she's facing life in prison for a crime the state has shown no proof of and for the O'Keefe's bc they may never find out what really happened to their son.
Can't imagine living their lives from now on thinking whether that person who says hello every time they see each other and they probably consider part of their family is the real killer of their son and at the same time probably hating Karen for what they were told she did.

[roxdarmurray]

No sniffs during direct. The nose will physically swell, causing itching & repeated sniffing when LYING.
Chris Albert is quite deceptive during cross: 1:28:18 1:30:15 1:33:05 1:33:43 1:34:09 1:35:25 1:35:30 1:36:12 1:40:54 1:44:43 1:45:50 1:47:57 1:54:14 1:54:14 1:56:09 1:56:07 1:56:15 1:56:23 1:56:39 1:57:04 1:57:59 1:58:19 1:58:28 1:58:57 1:59:46 2:00:35 2:01:15 2:02:25 2:03:03 2:04:29 2:04:30
2:04:46 2:05:31 2:07:22
2:07:58 2:11:01
Yes I’m insane!😆

[KayInMaine]

THE JUDGE (Auntie who is related to some of the prosecution's witnesses!) NEEDS TO BE DISBARRED FOR HER BIAS ALONE!!!!

[nolo]

Defense Lawyer: “so you got home, you didn’t dr…….”
Chris Albert: “nope” (sniff)
Defense Lawyer: “didn’t drink any water?”
Chris Albert: “nope” (sniff) (scratch face) (pulls ear)

[karoleegregerson]

I feel bad for Okeefe family. By this time they have to wonder what really happened to their son and brother. Reasonable doubt for sure. No search of the house where their son on lawn where he was found dead. Red solo cups no shoe.
