Summary
The prosecution in the Karen Read trial has changed course—and it's turning heads. Defense Attorney Bob Motta joins to break down what’s happening inside the courtroom. From the courtroom strategy shift led by ADA Brennan to the forensic breakdown of cell phone data by Ian Whiffin, this episode dives deep into the prosecution’s evolving case and why it's suddenly more effective. Is Celebrite’s software really more accurate than Magnet, or is it all a matter of interpretation? And why did the prosecution drop the “pre-buttle” approach? Motta also explains why he believes the infamous 2:27am “how long to die in cold” search may be a legal dead end, despite how gripping it sounds. If you're following this trial, the details revealed here are absolutely essential.
