Summary
What happens when the alleged defendant in a high-profile murder case becomes her own worst enemy?
Karen Read's trial is heating up, but it’s not just the evidence that’s raising eyebrows—it’s her own mouth. Between allegedly incriminating media soundbites and eyebrow-raising behavior, former prosecutor Eric Faddis joins Tony Brueski to dissect how her apparent lack of filter and courtroom strategy could be spelling disaster. From whispers of collusion and possible witness intimidation, to shadowy blog conversations and mysterious anonymous tips, this trial is teetering on the edge of a legal circus. And what happens if key witnesses just… don’t show up?
With the defense leaning on a third-party theory allegedly sparked by a ghostly anonymous tip, we dig into whether this was a clever legal maneuver—or just the beginning of the end. Can a trial even move forward when half the cast doesn’t want to take the stage?
And seriously—who was that spooky tipster?
