Summary

In this gripping episode, we break down one of the most emotionally charged moments of the Karen Read trial—the introduction of text messages between Read and John O’Keefe just hours before his death. Presented by Massachusetts State Trooper Nicholas Guarino, these texts were read aloud in court, revealing a complex relationship full of jealousy, frustration, and emotional volatility.
Karen Read’s messages include accusations of infidelity, claims of emotional sabotage, and admissions of conflict. But do they suggest intent—or just a toxic relationship under strain? Trooper Guarino’s testimony gives jurors and the public a raw, unfiltered look into the last private words between Karen Read and the man she’s accused of killing.

Was this a snapshot of relationship breakdown—or the beginning of a criminal case built on emotion rather than evidence? Listen to the messages. Decide for yourself.
