Hey, true crime besties, welcome back to an all of serialously with me, Annie Elise, and we've got the Karen Reed trial recap. Now, a lot

0:40.7

has gone down this week. I'm sure that if you follow the trial, you've been seeing social

0:45.2

media clips just popping up left and right because, I mean, the true circus that is the

0:53.1

trial, it's something like I've never seen before, truly.

0:57.2

So let me backtrack a little bit. And Elaine is, of course, going to join again and she's going

1:01.4

to recap everything because she just, she does, she has a way of doing it in such like a magical,

1:07.0

seamless way to where it's like understandable, digestible. She doesn't leave out any detail. So I don't

1:13.3

have to worry about you guys like come in for me like you did last week where you're all,

1:16.0

well, you didn't even talk about how he changed the timeline. Like I know. I thought that was implied.

1:46.4

John O'Keefe, but more in like a, the audacity, the nerve, like this makes no sense. And if you

1:53.5

didn't see it, I highly encourage you to Google it, but like I said, it's been popping up all over

1:58.4

social media. But basically this guy who identifies himself

2:02.1

as an expert in accident reconstruction, in data, all of these things, he puts together this

2:08.4

mock version of the accident, the collision. And let me just say, this expert, he ends up saying

2:15.4

that he got paid somewhere near like 400 grand for his

2:18.6

participation in this. He got like a free Lexus to use during this reenactment. And this

2:23.8

reenactment was so unbelievable because he didn't even reenact what the Commonwealth is accusing
