Summary

What the Jury Didn’t See: Bob Motta on the Karen Read Trial’s Missing Pieces
What if the evidence doesn’t match the story either side is telling? Defense Attorney Bob Motta breaks down the first major moments of the Karen Read trial—and he’s not holding back. Why did the prosecution suddenly drop the idea this was an intentional act? What does new DNA on a shoe mean for the defense? And is Jackson’s opening too bold to back up? Motta walks us through openings that shocked court watchers, the weight of big promises made in front of a jury, and the strange contradictions in the case—from voicemail rage to claims of indifference. Could Karen Read really take the stand? And are the injuries to John O’Keefe even consistent with being hit by a car? If the prosecution’s own narrative is shifting, what does that mean for the jury—and for justice?
