Summary
What if you found a man dead in a front yard—but no one else saw him, not even the people who had just left the house minutes before? In the case of Karen Read, that’s exactly what happened. Prosecutors argue she struck John O’Keefe with her SUV, but questions are piling up. How did she know where his body was if no one else saw it? Why did tail light fragments show up 16 feet into the yard? Could evidence have been planted? And how does the weather that night poke holes in the official timeline? In this chilling breakdown with criminal defense attorney Bob Motta of Defense Diaries, we dissect the contradictions, the forensic gaps, and the bizarre witness testimony that could flip this entire case on its head.
