Summary

Lauren and Chan have prepared a deep dive on the trial of Karen Read, a Massachusetts woman who is being accused of murdering her Boston police officer boyfriend, John O'Keefe. The gals give an overview of this ongoing trial, which is the opposite of an open-and-shut case. They discuss the many details that are not adding up from his trial, including deleted phone calls and text messages, middle of the night internet searches, a potential police conspiracy and massive coverup, a federal investigation, and so much more. This case has Lauren and Chan truly wondering what could have happened to John O'Keefe, since the evidence is anything but clear and convincing.  Shop Clean Simple Eats protein powder and use code POPAPOLOGISTS for 10% off!
