Why Do Facts Not Seem To Matter In The Trial Of Karen Read

In this episode of 'Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski,' psychotherapist and author Shavaun Scott delves into the ongoing trial of Karen Read, particularly focusing on the testimony of Jen McCabe. Scott highlights the confusion and complexity surrounding the case, especially regarding technical details like Google search times and browser activity. She points out how the defense seems to be trying to confuse the jury by focusing on minor details, like misspellings in the Google search, which McCabe made under stressful conditions. The discussion also covers the harrowing events described by McCabe about the night in question, where Karen Read was hysterical and unsure if she had hit John O'Keefe. Scott explains the psychological impact of such stress and the possibility of a blackout from heavy drinking, which could cause memory lapses despite functional behavior. The conversation underscores the emotional and psychological turmoil faced by those involved and casts doubt on the defense's narrative, suggesting that while Read's actions might not have been premeditated, the truth remains elusive. Scott also emphasizes that alcohol-induced impulsivity can lead to tragic outcomes, but in this case, there's no solid proof of an intentional crime.
