Karen Read’s Defense: Does It Even Make Sense? A Prosecutor’s Take

Karen Read’s Defense: Does It Even Make Sense? A Prosecutor’s Take   Sometimes courtroom defense strategies get creative — but in the Karen Read trial, the theory has gone from bold to borderline science fiction. In this episode, we sit down with former prosecutor Eric Faddis to dissect whether the defense’s story holds any weight when measured against real-world logic and legal standards. We discuss how the defense narrative — that multiple partygoers, including cops, staged a murder and planted John O’Keefe’s body in the snow — collides with the forensic timeline, digital data, and Read’s own statements. Why would Karen ask, “Did I hit him?” before the body was found? Why point out her broken taillight if she had no reason to suspect involvement? Faddis explains how prosecutors use moments like these to argue “consciousness of guilt” and how juries often see right through overcomplicated defense theories. This conversation cuts through the courtroom drama and gets to the legal core: does this theory even pass the smell test?
