Will Karen Read Be Convicted On Lesser Charges?

Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary

In the latest episode of "Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski," Defense Attorney Bob Motta, host of the "Defense Diaries" podcast, discusses the complexities and potential outcomes of the Karen Read trial. Motta explains that the jury may consider lesser charges like involuntary manslaughter, which the Commonwealth wisely included before the trial. He critiques the difficulty of proving second-degree murder, highlighting the lack of concrete evidence, such as vehicle data, to support the prosecution's claims. Motta finds the investigation potentially flawed and questions if all necessary data was collected from Read's Lexus. He comments on the suspicious behavior of witnesses like Brian Albert, who upgraded his phone just before being instructed not to, which appears shady to the jury. Motta also notes the defense's struggle to present a likable narrative, which can negatively impact their case. He observes that the prosecution's case seems disorganized, with a focus on witnesses who provide little relevant information about Karen Read. Motta suggests the jury might be left confused by both sides, as neither provides a clear, cohesive story. Ultimately, he believes the evidence presented so far does not convincingly support the charge of murder.
