GOSSIP CORNER: Karen Read

from Gavel and Gossip · host Leslie and Kristan

Get ready for a new segment GOSSIP CORNER!  Kristan and Leslie are spilling all the tea on the Karen Read second murder trial, a case they're absolutely obsessed with!Here's the lowdown: Karen Read is facing charges of second-degree murder and manslaughter for the alleged killing of her boyfriend, Boston police officer John O'Keefe. His frozen body was found outside fellow officer Brian Albert's Canton home on that snowy morning of January 29, 2022. Prosecutors claim Read hit O'Keefe with her Lexus SUV and left him for dead. But Read tells a very different story: she claims she dropped him off at the Albert house and never saw him again!Kristan and Leslie dive deep into the timeline, uncovering all the questionable moments and alleged evidence screw-ups by law enforcement. They're discussing former investigator Michael Proctor's shockingly inappropriate texts about Read and the case—so scandalous he was fired for bias between trials! And get this: they're digging into Jennifer McCabe's bizarre "hos long to die in cold" Google search and the mysteriously missing 45 minutes of surveillance footage from the police station's sallyport!But the gossip doesn't stop there! Kristan and Leslie get into why they really believe Karen Read is innocent and being framed. They're talking about the shoddy investigation at the scene, the rehoming of the Albert family's dog (who supposedly didn't like new men!), and the bizarre sale of their family home right after O'Keefe's death. Plus, they break down that wild mirrored police station video that seems to catch cops tampering with evidence! You won't believe it this case!So, grab your favorite drink and settle in!
