Summary
Now that Karen Read has been found not guilty, let's look at the differences between trials one and two, recap the situation, discuss new information presented, and review public interviews just given by Chris, Nicole, and Brian Albert, with Matt and Jen McCabe. As the public hopes that the town of Canton, Massachusetts will now focus on more likely causes of death for John O'Keefe, we go over various theories and opinions on what actually happened that snowy night. Karen is cleared, but Canton has a long road ahead to address John's true cause of death - and face a reckoning for what happened to Sandra Birchmore.
All opinions are personal and not representative of any outside company, person, or agenda. Information shared is sourced via published articles, legal documents, press releases, government websites, public websites, books, public videos, news reports, and/or direct quotes and statements, and all may be paraphrased for brevity and presented in layman's terms.

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the high and low podcast. This is your host, Bravo, Bravo, |
| 0:07.9 | Docking Bravo. And today we're going to talk about Karen Reid. For anybody who's been following |
| 0:12.0 | the case, Karen Reed was found not guilty in her second trial. As you all know, I had been |
| 0:17.3 | following the trial, but I hadn't been recapping it as it was going on because it could have completely consumed me. I had to limit myself. I had to do like a daily check-in with it, but I couldn't watch it minute by minute. Now, as I said, this is the outcome of her second trial. Her first trial, that was a dozy. Her first trial, she was found not guilty of some of the charges. I just pulled up an article. Specifically, she was found not guilty |
| 0:38.2 | of second degree murder and of leaving the scene of personal injury and death. So the charges that |
| 0:44.4 | would have put her behind bars for, you know, 20 to life, she was found not guilty in the first |
| 0:48.7 | trial. But on manslaughter and then lesser charges, which I believe were like driving under |
| 0:53.2 | the influence, et cetera, because they were all drinking that night, if were like driving under the influence, etc. |
| 0:54.4 | Because they were all drinking that night, if you've been following the trial. |
| 0:57.8 | They couldn't come to a decision and agreement on that. |
| 1:00.8 | She was charged with manslaughter while operating under the influence, but the jurors in that |
| 1:04.7 | first trial were given the option to convict her on the lesser charges of involuntary |
| 1:09.3 | manslaughter or motor vehicle homicide. And that's just |
| 1:12.5 | ridiculous. The entire trial, both of them, are the false pretense that this woman caused his death |
| 1:20.4 | by a car, if you just take a minute if you feel like she was guilty and look up the autopsy photos |
| 1:26.6 | of John O'Keefe's forearm. |
| 1:28.5 | All I needed to see in this case was that photo of his forearm. |
| 1:33.4 | And I was like, a dog did that. |
| 1:35.4 | He was mauled by a dog. |
| 1:37.6 | A car did not do that. |
| 1:39.3 | And from there, I started jumping into the case and reading as much as I could. |
| 1:42.7 | So after deliberating for her first trial, the jury, they go to the judge to Judge Beverly Canone. That could be a separate podcast. And they tell her, we cannot come to an agreement on this. So she declares a mistrial. And a couple of jurors came out and they spoke to the press. They spoke out and they said what it was like trying to figure out what to do in this situation. One of them said they considered |
