WHY Was A LEAF BLOWER Used To Gather Evidence In Karen Read Case?

May 14, 03:00 PM

In this episode of "Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski," former Felony Prosecutor and attorney Eric Faddis discusses the unusual evidence collection methods used in the trial of Karen Read, highlighting the improvisation at the crime scene due to unique circumstances. Faddis examines the use of a leaf blower to clear snow from the crime scene and the utilization of red Solo cups for collecting blood evidence. These unconventional methods were chosen due to the urgency and the lack of better options available at the moment, raising concerns about potential evidence loss and contamination. The discussion reveals skepticism about the thoroughness of the evidence collection process, especially given that a confession might have led investigators to handle the scene with less caution than usual.
