Summary
Could encouraging a blogger to "expose the truth" actually land you in prison?
Karen Read's murder trial just took another wild turn, and it's not just about the death of Officer John O'Keefe anymore. Allegedly feeding private autopsy photos, witness addresses, and grand jury material to a controversial blogger under indictment himself? Yeah, that's where this gets dicey. Former felony prosecutor Eric Faddis joins Tony Brueski to unpack the legal minefield that’s unfolding like a true crime reality show.
We’re talking accomplice liability, witness intimidation, and whether cheering on someone nicknamed “Turtleboy” could potentially make you part of a criminal conspiracy. Can texting “great job” after someone doxxes a witness actually be used against you in court? And how much does gleefully encouraging chaos come back to bite you when you’re the one on trial for murder?
With jury selection looming and new charges possibly on the table, could this media circus derail the trial altogether?
How much trouble can "just talking" really get you into?

| 0:13.5 | I was actually out on a cruise last week, and I was sitting there on my phone, |
| 0:18.8 | just kind of glued to the insanity that was going on. |

In looking at it, there's in and of itself, there's nothing necessarily wrong with providing case information to another person.
