Summary

A defense expert questioned how a key hair sample could survive a blizzard, casting doubt on the evidence. Officer Brian Higgins took to a late-night trip. Texts between Karen and Higgins revealed a flirty, emotional relationship, raising new questions about motive and timeline. With growing inconsistencies, public opinion appears to be shifting in Karen’s favor. 

We’re attending the trial in person and live streaming it daily on my YouTube channel 10 to LIFE, with full recaps every Friday. Make sure to subscribe and follow so you never miss an update.

Hey, true crime besties, welcome back to an all new episode of serialously with me, Annie Elise, and today I have got the Karen Reed Weekly recap for you.

0:36.6

And that it's always, you know, as many times as I say it,

0:39.2

it is always a mouthful. Now, this week has been very, very interesting because we have heard

0:44.3

from a lot more witnesses. We've heard a lot more testimony. And there was even a point in the trial

0:49.7

where it sounded like Judge Beverly Canoni, like whispered asshole under her breath to one of the lawyers, which I thought was very interesting.

0:57.9

But there have been a lot of very key moments that have happened this week.

1:02.0

And I made it clear on my last recap episode, but I just kind of want to briefly touch on it again here really quick.

1:08.7

I'm very much, I haven't moved in my positioning,

1:11.8

even after this week. I still very much think there's just too much reasonable doubt to

1:27.8

reasonable doubt that I cannot convict. And so that's been my stance since the beginning. And I think

1:33.1

there are still. So regardless how you look at it, some questionable things, questionable behavior,

1:38.5

ditching of the phones, lying about butt dials, weird timelines and why people are going to the police department

1:45.2

in the middle of the night and then like lying about certain things. Like it's their own fault,

1:48.9

right, for exuding shady behavior and putting reasonable doubt on this case. So if they want

1:54.3

her to get convicted, like quit acting so shady, right? But anyway, the reason I bring that up is

2:00.1

because as I've been live streaming the

2:01.7

trial every single day for the last few weeks, I have a poll up every single day. And my poll

2:07.3

allows the three buckets like I talked about last week. Do you think Karen Reed is guilty? Do you

2:14.2

think that she is innocent or being framed? or do you think that there is too much doubt
