Summary

Karen Read Trial: Inside the Ambulance – Paramedic Jason Becker’s Account”
In this compelling episode, we hear from Jason Becker, a paramedic with the Canton Fire Department, who transported Karen Read to the hospital for a psychological evaluation following the discovery of John O'Keefe's body. Becker recounts Read's emotional state during the ambulance ride, describing her as alternating between calm and agitated. He testifies that Read referred to O'Keefe as her husband and expressed sorrow over their last conversation being an argument .

Becker also recalls Read questioning whether she could have hit O'Keefe, stating, "Could I have hit him?" . The defense challenges Becker's recollection, pointing out inconsistencies in his previous statements regarding Read's admission of consuming alcohol the night before. Becker admits that he did not probe further into the details of their argument, stating, "We didn't think we'd be witnesses in a murder trial" .

This testimony provides insight into Read's mental state immediately following the incident and raises questions about the thoroughness of the initial investigation. It also underscores the defense's efforts to highlight potential oversights and inconsistencies in the prosecution's case.
