'Trial by Ambush' Karen Read’s Defense Freaks Out Over Car Data Evidence That Could Show John Being Struck

'Trial by Ambush' Karen Read’s Defense Freaks Out Over Car Data Evidence That Could Show John Being Struck In a dramatic twist after the jury exited the courtroom, Karen Read’s legal team accused prosecutors of pulling a classic courtroom ambush. The issue? A new expert report quietly slipped in just days ago—centered around a so-called “trigger event” in Read’s SUV. This data could suggest when the vehicle detected an impact, potentially pointing to the moment John O’Keefe was struck. But defense attorney Robert Alessi wasn’t having it. He fired back, calling the late filing “inexcusable” and a “tactical maneuver” meant to sandbag the defense. According to Alessi, the prosecution is playing dirty by delivering expert interpretation at the eleventh hour, with no time for the defense to analyze, cross-examine, or respond. In his words, this wasn’t disclosure—it was a setup. Prosecutor Hank Brennan countered, claiming it’s not new evidence at all—just a clearer explanation of data already turned over. But the defense says that kind of spin, introduced this late, could unfairly tip the scales before they’ve had a chance to fight back. Judge Cannone didn’t rule immediately on whether the report would be excluded—but the courtroom tension was undeniable. This moment cuts to the heart of fairness in trial prep: Can prosecutors get away with reframing evidence days before it lands in front of a jury? We break down exactly what’s at stake in this critical behind-the-scenes moment and how it could shift the trajectory of the Karen Read trial. #KarenRead #JohnOKeefe #HiddenKillers #TrialDrama #LegalStrategy #CourtroomClash #DiscoveryDispute #TrueCrimeNow #JusticeWatch #TriggerEventData Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
