The Wildest Defense in a Murder Trial: Eric Faddis on the Karen Read Case

The Wildest Defense in a Murder Trial: Eric Faddis on the Karen Read Case Could a group of off-duty cops, neighbors, and friends really stage a murder, move a body, cover it up, and keep it quiet for over two years — all without a single witness flipping? That’s the theory the defense is offering in the Karen Read trial. In this episode, former prosecutor and legal analyst Eric Faddis joins us to break down just how wild the claims have gotten — and whether any of it holds up under actual courtroom scrutiny. From the “murder-by-dog” suggestion to the infamous flagpole location and the now-infamous 2:27 a.m. Google search, we’re diving into the tangled web of what the defense wants the jury to believe. Faddis gives a prosecutor’s perspective on how far a theory can go before it collapses under its own weight. He explores what a jury actually responds to: consistency, logic, and real-world behavior. And in this case? That may be the biggest challenge for the defense yet. If you’ve been following this case and thinking, “Wait — does any of this make sense?” — this is the episode for you.
