Defense asks judge to recuse herself in Karen Read murder case

Judge Beverly Cannone said she will not recuse herself from the murder case. WBZ-TV's Christina Hager reports.

I've only been following this case for a month. That judge is off the chain. I've never seen rulings such as hers and her disdain for the defense is evident

Give us a break Aunty Bev, it wasn't just 1 internet post, it was hundreds!! Conflict of interest Bevvie, step down.

[theresafeeney]

Hey Auntie Bev, you sitting on the bench as judge on this case should be considered a conflict of interest! Step down!!!

[Rowgue]

When a judge that is literally the godmother of one of the witnesses in a case and that family calls her Aunty Bev is allowed to remain on that case you know the judicial system has reached it's full potential of corruption.

Corrupt Judge.... Recuse yourself!!! Move trial out of this county!!!

[HockeyandHeels]

Bev has 100% controlled certain things from coming out for the CW, continue to make rude comments and snap at defense for no reason, and even sustained many legitimately asked questions in the proper form. It shocking this is allowed to happen.

Auntie Bev is prejudiced and should have recused herself. Of course she didn’t. She has work to do for her friends. Just my opinion

[G.I.N.N]

This will be world wide coverage once the full trial begins.

[HMTWORN]

Maybe the FBI will investigate her too!

[Peter-kmhb]

This is what happens in Massachusetts when politicians appoint judges😅

Time will reveal whether She indeed should have Recused her self! The Nations are Watching!

[UnLocked-]

at this point i'm terrified that even the jurors could be biased individuals from this town.

The judge’s brother defended Chris Albert in the 90s when he pulled a hit and run while DUI and killed the victim.

This story gets bigger and bigger every day.

[MelSan-jcnk]

She is such a horrible judge! She should retire or be fired

[AkronRain]

This judge is a joke. She shows total disdain for the defense. Huffing and puffing and annoyingly sighing into the microphone when the defense is trying to make a point. Unprofessional.

[FMT]

And now we’re all seeing how bias she truly is! I can’t believe there isn’t someone else above her who can make her step down. Just shows that all of MA is corrupt.

[NovaDexter]

The justice system is so corrupt even the Judge can't let her ego go for the sake of justice.
It's time people started protesting at the homes of these corrupt government employees.

Holly Molly… I’ve been following the case every day, the whole day and I am freaking out with this judges BIAS rulings but I had not seen this news report!! What a freak show!

That explains Bev's horrible attitude towards the defense team.
