Guaranteed Human. Hi, guys. Welcome to another episode of Legally Brunette. I'll be your host, Emily Simpson, and my co-host. Shane. You're supposed to say just Shane. Shane. Just Shane. All right, our last episode we did. We went through a little bit of the Karen Reed trial, but we also got to the closing arguments and the verdict. However, I thought it was important at the top of this episode, just to talk a little bit about the Alberts and McCabe's because they decided to give interviews right after the verdict came out. So let's talk about who was interviewed. Now, Brian Albert, who was the one who owned the home, and he was a Boston police officer,

where John O'Keefe was found dead outside of his home, his wife Nicole, his brother, Chris,

as well as his sister-in-law, who we all know is Jen McCabe, the one who testified in court,

and her husband, Matt, all spoke to ABC News in an interview which was released on Friday, June 20th.

This was two days after Karen Reid was acquitted.

All five were witnesses at Reed's first trial.

However, when they did the retrial, Jennifer McCabe was the only one who testified at the retrial.

Now, I was thinking about this, and I assume the prosecution puts on their case, and they were like, okay, we don't need any of you to testify again, because that

did not work the first time around. So Jen McCabe was the only one who actually testified for the

prosecution. You mean you think that they had her testify, and then after it was a bad testimony for them then they

decided not to have anyone else no i think all of these people that were all within the house

all testified in the first trial oh in the first trial and then when the retrial came along

okay so even before the second trial they realized like this is not a good idea i think they were like

none of they're not credible and we're just not going to put them on. So Jen McCabe, who is the, who is the sister-in-law of Brian Albert, who owns the home, is the only one who testified at the retrial. All right. So let's just go over a little bit of what they did. The families have been accused by Reed and her defense lawyers to be the

ones who were responsible for John O'Keefe's death. That was the retrial. That was their defense, was that

there was a conspiracy and that these police officers all conspired together that something happened to

John within the home and then that they put the body out on the law and they blame Karen Reed for it.

But in the interview, Brian Albert describes the theory as, quote, preposterous and silly.

You do realize for this conspiracy to be true, it would take 30 to 50 people to be in on it.

This is what Albert told Matt Gutman, who is the interviewer.

I don't understand how people buy this.
