Summary
Is Karen Read trying to confuse the jury—or herself? In this psychological autopsy of Read’s ever-evolving public statements and courtroom commentary, Ret. FBI Behavioral Chief Robin Dreeke joins Tony Brueski to dissect her language, contradictions, and intent. From the infamous “I hit him” to bizarre rants and accusations, Dreeke explains how “word salad” often functions as a deflection tactic and what it reveals about a subject’s mindset when under pressure.
Confusion is not a defense. But in Karen Read’s world, it just might be the strategy.
