Summary

True Crime Tuesday presents: Storm Of Suspicion: The Karen Read Murder Trials with Television Presenter/Podcaster/Author, Kevin Lenihan!

STORM OF SUSPICION: The Karen Read Murder Trials is an electrifying, real-time courtroom thriller and the gripping personal account of author Kevin Lenihan’s detailed examination of the evidence—both known and what he’s discovered—as well as the dark rumors, courtroom bombshells, and conspiracy theories that are at the heart of two of the most explosive and controversial murder trials of the decade. The case began in the midst of a massive snowstorm in 2022 and ended the first time in a mistrial. Now, more than two years later, it is poised to ignite in a Boston courtroom once again.

At question is whether Karen Read, a 43-year-old college professor, is responsible as charged for the cold-blooded murder of her boyfriend, John O’Keefe, a Boston police officer? Or was she framed, by the real killer—another cop—covering his tracks with the help of a corrupt law enforcement establishment?

In STORM OF SUSPICION, Lenihan, the COURT TV expert commentator in the case, breaks down the key evidence and shocking conspiracy theories from the first trial. Then he does a deep dive into how the new trial will be fought by both sides, as well as in the court of public opinion, with new revelations, unanticipated twists, and a storm of suspicion.

On today's TCT, Kevin Lenihan discusses the particulars of this case... where the cops may have made their mistakes, where conspiracy theorists get it wrong, why Karen may have been the right suspect all along, and why someone named "Turtleboy" have complicated everything even further!
