Summary
The tension explodes in this afternoon courtroom session as defense attorney Alan Jackson unleashes a relentless cross-examination on Jennifer McCabe. Accusing her of lying to federal investigators, hiding key phone calls, and changing her story about what Karen Read allegedly said that morning, Jackson drills into every inconsistency. Did McCabe coordinate with other witnesses? Why didn’t she mention the “I hit him” quote to the grand jury? Was the dog Chloe missing that morning—and could she be part of the cause of death? It’s all here. Listen to the full trial audio and decide for yourself.
