Summary

 This week, I sat inside the courtroom for the Karen Read trial—and trust me, it was tense. In this episode, I’m breaking down everything that happened: the key witness testimony, the major inconsistencies, and the behind-the-scenes dynamics that you didn’t see on the livestream. From shifting alliances to bombshell cross-examinations, there’s a lot to unpack. Plus, I’m diving into the latest updates in the Diddy case, including new witness revelations and what they could mean for the investigation. If you’ve been following either of these cases, this is the episode you don’t want to miss.

Hey, true crime besties, welcome back to an all new episode of Serialessly with me, Annie Elise, fresh back from Boston and ready to break down everything that went down this week in the Karen Reed trial. I attended in

0:39.1

person, which definitely gave me a little bit of a different view into things because I was able to

0:43.7

see the jury's reactions, kind of feel the vibes in the courtroom, see the energy, see the infamous

0:49.2

fan in person up close and center. But no, so there's a lot we have to go over about what went on

0:56.5

this week in the trial. I also want to just talk a little bit about my time there, who I met with,

1:01.4

what some of the conversations were like and things like that. And then rather than split the

1:06.5

episode, I also am going to include all of the ditty updates from the back half of this week in this episode.

1:13.5

So whether you're here for both updates, Karen Reed and Diddy or Just Diddy or Just Karen,

1:18.5

I'm going to start with all the Karen Reid updates and then we'll finish off with all of the Diddy

1:22.1

stuff that went down, which is pretty interesting.

1:24.7

Like Kid Cuddy testified, crazy new allegations. I mean, we have a lot to go

1:29.0

over either way. But let's start with Karen Reid. Now, I'm going to also just say this one more time.

1:35.2

And I'm sure you guys are probably like, give it up, Annie. We've heard this a million times.

1:38.8

But apparently, there are still people out there who need to hear this. I don't know what happened that night at 34 Fairview

1:46.1

Road. I don't know if Karen hit John with her car. I don't know if somebody fought him in the

1:51.8

basement of the house. I don't know if he just fell over wasted when he was trying to get into the

1:56.9

house and hit his head. I don't know what happened. But what I do know is that there is, in my opinion,

2:03.0

that at this moment in the trial, there is too much reasonable doubt to convict her.

2:08.5

Now, I'm keeping an open mind. I'll just be honest. And there were a couple times this week during the

2:14.0

trial where there were some things that gave me pause and made me scratch my head

2:17.9

and kind of wonder like, well, that doesn't really look very good for the defense. How can you

2:23.6

explain this away? This does look pretty compelling. So I am still keeping a very open mind.
