Remember the grave concerns that Judge Beverly Cannone had when the Commonwealth falsely and prejudicially represented that “embedded within the bumper to [Karen Read’s] vehicle is pieces of cocktail glass” during pretrial litigation? Me neither. This greatly prejudiced #KarenRead to the public and potential jury pool before she’d ever...

Judge Beverly Cannone is violating #KarenRead’s Sixth Amendment right to an impartial jury by refusing to allow the very standard & typical practice of jury voir dire of the jury venire by the attorneys. Yesterday, Brother Counsel had his Brother Counsel, a national trial attorney who’s litigated in 25 states, on his show to get his fresh perspective on legal matters in the Karen Read case. I highly recommend checking out this show over on his YouTube channel (linked below). They discussed this issue of how the Judge isn’t allowing panel voir dire, or for the attorneys to be able to ask questions of prospective jurors to ensure the selection of a fair and impartial jury. Attorney Salomon advised that immediately after a jury’s empaneled and selection’s complete, he’d move for a mistrial, stating how the Judge is not allowing the defendant to have a fair trial, did not allow the attorneys to voir dire the jurors, and as a result, neither the defense attorneys, nor the prosecutor, nor the Judge has any clue whether they actually have a fair jury. I found Judge Cannone’s refusal to allow panel voir dire of the jury at the first trial troubling, and am once again troubled by this decision for the second trial. Judge Cannone has gone out of her way to acknowledge the extensive media coverage of and public interest in this case, and the effects that might have on Karen Read’s right to a fair trial and impartial jury. In fact, she recently issued a gag order with the expressed purposes of apparently trying to protect Karen Read’s right to a fair and impartial jury and trial. So my question is, if Judge Cannone truly cared about Karen Read’s right to an impartial jury and a fair trial, then why is she refusing to protect that right when it counts most—during the actual jury selection process? In a case with so much pretrial publicity—as repeatedly acknowledged by the Judge—it seems like the necessity of robust and effective jury voir dire by counsel is all the more imperative in ensuring Karen Read’s Sixth Amendment rights. These are the decisions that make it hard not to be left with the impression that Judge Cannone doesn’t actually care about Karen Read’s right to a fair trial or impartial jury, because if she did then she’d allow that to be possible through jury selection. These are the decisions that make it hard not to view Judge Cannone’s gag order as completely disingenuous when she says it’s in the name of protecting Karen Read’s rights to an impartial jury and fair trial, because if she really cared about that then she’d allow the attorneys to voir dire prospective jurors. In the end, it appears as though Cannone is only eager to exploit the whole facade of wanting to protect Read’s rights when it allows her to make decisions that further tie Karen Read and defense counsel’s hands behind their backs, but not when it *actually* counts. What say you? Should the defense move for a mistrial immediately upon the completion of jury selection? Do we really trust Judge Beverly Cannone to weed out any biased or partial jurors? #KarenReadTrial #FreeKarenRead #JusticeForJohnOKeefe

The defense introduced a flow chart yesterday at trial that vastly simplified & clarified the otherwise impossible to follow evidence for the jury. It made clear exactly what evidence was planted as it related to the mismatched sources of broken glass. The Commonwealth kept this from the jury at the first trial, however, because their entire approach has been to baffle with BS, and muddy the waters on things no prosecutor ever questions, like Cellebrite, for instance. Here, the defense put together a visual aid for jurors to understand the origins and discovery of multiple pieces of evidence found at the scene and on Karen Read’s bumper. The Commonwealth, however, would rather refer to these pieces of evidence by different numbers because this of course makes it harder for anyone to realize that one category of evidence doesn’t fit, signifying it was therefore planted. By referring to them as nondescript numbers, the Commonwealth was able to obfuscate the truth from the jury. I remember at the first trial seeing this flow chart—now a demonstrative successfully admitted into evidence this time around—in Attorney Alan Jackson’s binder as he conducted his cross examination of lab tech Christina Hanley, and thinking how helpful it would’ve been for the jurors to clearly understand that evidence (picture attached below). As you may recall, the Commonwealth objected to the admission of the flowchart into evidence at the first trial because they want to keep the truth from the jury. And they were successful. In a one-on-one interview after the first trial with journalist Ted Daniel, Karen Read explains the frustration surrounding this evidence and trying to get this exhibit admitted to better assist the jury in their understanding of it. Finally, this time around, the defense was successful in getting more truth through to the jury. #KarenRead #HankBrennan #FreeKarenRead #KarenReadTrial #KarenReadTrial2 #KarenReadRetrial #JusticeForJohnOKeefe

Judge Beverly Cannone has ruled that Dr. Judson Welcher can testify that the data he analyzed + the damage to Karen Read’s SUV is consistent with her vehicle being in a collision. Additionally, he can testify that Mr. O’Keefe’s injuries are consistent with having been struck by an SUV that’s physically identical to Karen Read’s Lexus “because this opinion is based upon, among other things, his experimental work that came into evidence without objection as to scientific methodology and application.” ——— This is just patently false. The defense, specifically Attorney Robert Alessi, has objected numerous times on the record to the admissibility of Dr. Judson’s Welcher’s opinions and testimony, based on his scientific methodology, or lack thereof, among other things. In fact, I’ve attached the defense’s Motion In Limine—just one of the motions they filed, and argued in court, opposing the admissibility of Welcher’s testimony—filed on March 27, 2025. In this, among other defense filings on this matter, the defense raised several of the issues which have caused great interruptions, disturbances, and distractions to testimony in the middle of trial, and would’ve much more appropriately been handled pretrial. Further, Robert Alessi made a strong record yesterday in court, so it’s not entirely clear where Judge Bev is getting the notion that there was no objection by defense counsel. ——— See defense’s Motion In Limine to Exclude the Testimony of Commonwealth's Witness Dr. Judson Welcher, and request for voir dire, as filed March 27, 2025 (attached + continued in comments). #Aperture #KarenRead #JudsonWelcher #FreeKarenRead #KarenReadTrial #KarenReadTrial2 #KarenReadRetrial #JusticeForJohnOKeefe

#KarenReadRetrial RENTSCHLER'S CONFOUNDING ADMISSION During a contentious line of questioning yesterday with Hank Brennan, Dr. Andrew Rentschler admitted that he knew the Commonwealth's theory of the case BEFORE he testified during trial Read's initial trial. For any other defense expert witness in any other trial it would be expected for the expert to have an understanding of the prosecution's theory, but not so in this one. Due to the circumstances in which ARCCA's initial involvement began through a separate investigation by the federal government, the parameters of what ARCCA could discuss with the defense were limited. So too were the materials ARCCA received from the federal investigators which did NOT include the theory of the case: Trooper Paul's reconstruction. Prior to the retrial we learned of the murky relationship ARCCA had with the defense including that they were not "independent", they had received compensation, and they had deleted their communications. We also learned that both Daniel Wolfe and Andrew Rentschler were receiving information from federal investigators in violation of a sequestration order during the first trial. Rentschler characterized the information they received during the trial as "evidence" under oath yesterday and stated it didn't change his opinion or analysis because he already knew the theory of the case. This leads to some serious questions: 1. WHO gave Rentschler the prosecution's theory? As per the materials listed in ARCCA's initial report he did not receive it from federal investigators. 2. WHEN did Rentschler receive the theory of the case? Based on his testimony under oath yesterday it was prior to the inception of trial one. 3. WHAT theory were they given? Was it generalized as a pedestrian collision or detailed as a sideswipe event? 4. HOW especially if only a generalized theory was given did additional information and evidence not have an effect on analysis or opinion? 5. WHY if he had the theory of the case would he choose to engage in and testify about testing two hypotheses that had nothing to the theory of the case? ARCCA tested whether or not throwing a glass could break the taillight and whether the head injury came from contact with the taillight, neither of which were even suggested in the prosecution's theory of a sideswipe and fall backwards. Add to this Rentschler's ludicrous statements yesterday about the insignificance of the DNA, the debris field and the taillight fragments embedded in John's clothes, and ARCCA's involvement in this case becomes even shadier. Time for US Attorneys office to shed some light on what really happened here.
