Manipulation or Miscommunication? Jurors Hear Karen Read’s Final Texts to O’Keefe
What if the only thing they can prove is that she was drunk?
Defense Attorney Bob Motta, host of Defense Diaries, joins Tony Bruski to dissect the tangled web of Karen Read's statements, intoxication, and the dangerously blurred lines of memory and guilt. From fluctuating drink counts to the question of blackouts, the conversation unravels how intoxication is being used both as a weapon and a shield in this case. Motta doesn't just analyze her words—he lays out how the defense can turn chaos into reasonable doubt.
This isn’t about proving who’s likable—it’s about whether a jury can convict someone whose every retelling contradicts the last. The deeper you go, the more disturbing it gets: relationships layered with manipulation, emotional volatility, and the raw reality of alcohol-fueled confusion.
How much of what Karen says is trauma and how much is strategy? And if she was truly blacked out, does that make her less guilty—or more dangerous?
