So, you beautiful bastards. Welcome back to the Philip DeFranco show, you daily dive into the news,

and today I've got a wild one for you. So how about you just hit that like button, I'll hit you

with that monkey, and let's jump into it. This is a news show. The Karen Reed murder trial

just got a huge update. This murder trial that's consumed, Boston swept the nation with swirling conspiracies.

You know, we covered this a few months ago when things kicked off.

I'm also gonna link to that previous coverage, right?

Especially because the details are all over the fucking place, and there are two very different stories being told here.

But the quick version is that Reid was accused of murdering her boyfriend, Boston police officer John O'Keefe, by intentionally backing her SUV into him and then driving away, leaving him to die on a cold

January night. But Reid denies those allegations, and there's almost nothing that her defense

and the prosecution can agree on. Oh, we know for sure is that Reed and O'Keefe had been out

drinking that night in January of 2022, and they ran into an officer that O'Keefe worked with by the name of Brian Albert, who invited them back to his house. So Reed drove the two over in her SUV. O'Keefe

got out of the car, Reed drove away, and early the next morning she came back looking for him and

found him unresponsive outside of Albert's home. But after that, everything just falls apart.

The prosecutor said that the couple had been fighting, and Reed hit O'Keefe and drove away before he ever made it inside. And to back that up, they've pointed to damage on the rear end of her car, pieces of taillight found on the scene,

an angry voicemail she left before O'Keefe's death. Also, you had multiple emergency responders who

were called to the scene testifying they heard Reed say, I hit him. But Reed, she tells a totally

different story. I heard the lawyer saying, this is all a police cover-up and that she's being framed as part of a sweeping conspiracy to protect the true murderer. And specifically, they allege that O'Keefe did make it

inside of Albert's house, but while there, there was a fight that ensued. But then somebody

fatally beating him before dumping him in the snow. And as for their case, the defense points

to testimony from experts who say that O'Keefe's injuries, they just aren't consistent with being hit by a car. Instead, pointing to wounds on his arm that they say indicate that he was attacked by Albert's German Shepherd.

Though notably there, prosecutors have said that there wasn't any dog DNA found on his body.

And O'Keefe's autopsy didn't show signs of a fight.
