Summary
In this explosive episode of Hidden Killers with Tony Brueski, former felony prosecutor Eric Faddis unpacks the tangled mess surrounding Karen Read’s legal strategy—or lack thereof. From allegedly leaking witness addresses to participating in a documentary that might as well have been titled “How to Self-Sabotage Your Defense,” the conversation dives into how bad decisions, eyebrow-raising behavior, and a curious absence of legal guardrails may be shaping public perception and potentially influencing her trial.
Why did the judge block key communications from entering the courtroom? Did her defense team sleep through media training 101? And could new charges completely derail her current murder trial?
Is this still about the death of John O’Keefe—or has the chaos after the fact become the real headline?

| 0:03.2 | Here now, Tony Brewski. |
| 0:06.0 | I do wonder, to a certain extent, did she realize that this was going to be the consequence |
| 0:14.4 | to encouraging this type of behavior? |
| 0:18.3 | I don't know. |
| 0:19.4 | I mean, I'm just my conjecture on obviously some of the statements that she's made publicly, |
| 0:24.8 | not the brightest in many cases of what you shouldn't, shouldn't do for your own best interest. |
| 0:32.7 | But that's my conjecture. |
| 0:34.1 | So I wouldn't be surprised somewhat if initially she didn't think that there were |
| 0:39.1 | going to be consequences for this, but I would think as you go down this road a couple years, |
| 0:44.8 | you start to see and everybody's calling out saying, hey, this is not okay. You can't be doing |
| 0:49.4 | this. And then to continue on with it, would that be, I mean, would the pattern of behavior really show what |
| 0:55.9 | it is? Like, once, look, there's no sensible reason why you wouldn't know this would be intimidation, |
| 1:01.4 | but you kept on doing it. Is that the bar that needs to be crossed to kind of show that there is |
| 1:06.7 | some consciousness of guilt in this sort of a play? Tony, the pattern of conduct is a very important consideration and one way to prove what's |
| 1:16.5 | going on inside someone's head. |
| 1:18.0 | Like you said, when this was initially happening, maybe Karen Reid wasn't on board |
| 1:23.0 | with witness intimidation, that kind of thing, but as she's seeing it play out repeatedly over the course of weeks and months with multiple |
| 1:30.2 | different witnesses coming forward saying they felt intimidated. |
| 1:33.5 | And then she continues in her course of action, which is providing this information, |
| 1:39.6 | including allegedly witness addresses and locations. |
