Hank Brennan brazenly lied in open court yesterday, misrepresenting... key evidence in this case in order to persuade Judge Beverly Cannone to keep the truth from the jury—aka Trooper Joe Paul & the Commonwealth’s original accident theory from the first trial. He doesn’t mind lying - on camera, in open court - forgetting we’ve got the receipts. ————— But first, a quick reminder: Massachusetts Rule of Professional Conduct 3.3(a)(1): A lawyer shall not knowingly make a false statement of fact to a tribunal. ————— Now to the voir dire of Dr. Judson Welcher… Alessi exposed that Welcher’s conclusions were built by including reports from other experts—Trooper Paul’s crash report and ME Irini Scordi-Bello. Regarding Trooper Paul, Alessi highlighted two examples: • A drone photo of 34 Fairview Rd • A Techstream chart The drone photo: The exact same overhead image appeared in both Paul’s report and Welcher’s—Welcher just zoomed in to disguise it. The Techstream chart: • Identical chart from Paul’s report • Welcher claimed he never saw it in Paul’s materials • Alessi walked up, showed Welcher Paul’s report—and turned it toward the courtroom camera for all to see ————— Then Brennan jumped in and—true to form—told the court everything but the truth. He claimed the drone photo came from SERT, not Trooper Paul. Flat-out lie. Because in Trial 1, Trooper Paul clearly testified he was the only one who used drone footage of 34 Fairview. The SERT report used a different overhead shot, which Paul did include in his report. But the image in question clearly was created by Trooper Paul. Brennan knew that. He just doesn’t care about knowingly making false representations in open court. That’s the environment Beverly Cannone has created in this case. ————— Judge Cannone’s inaction on this matter yesterday is also troubling. The jury at the first trial notably only had one question/request for the attorneys and the court about the evidence once their deliberations began. Their request? The SERT report. What was notable about it? No such report existed. It was an issue thoroughly discussed how best to handle by both sides and Judge Cannone at the time. A memorable moment. Certainly, Judge Cannone remembers this fact—not only for its significance in this case, but also as it was further emphasized by this jury request at the first trial. This morning will be telling. Will Judge Cannone play dumb on this issue? Why didn’t she interject yesterday the moment Hank Brennan blatantly lied about this key evidence in open court? If the explanation is that Judge Cannone has forgotten key, fundamental facts of this case from just a year ago, then what is she doing presiding over this case? #KarenRead #HankBrennan #JudsonWelcher #FreeKarenRead #KarenReadTrial #KarenReadTrial2 #KarenReadRetrial #JusticeForJohnOKeefeshow more

🇺🇸 The blackout text in Epstein's documents turned out... to be easily readable. In some files of the scandalous financier's case, you can read everything that the US Department of Justice tried to obscure, journalists noticed. If you simply select the "censored" blocks, the text is copied from them. The fact is that during editing, they presumably blacked out the background of the text, not the letters themselves. In many hidden parts of the files, attempts were made to remove information about money movements and specific amounts, as well as details related to the financier's lawyer, Darren Indyke.show more
