Summary
In this premiere episode of a new deep-dive series, Tony Brueski and Ret. FBI Behavioral Expert Robin Dreeke tackle the most baffling reality of the Karen Read trial: the abandonment of fact in favor of conspiracy. Why has evidence taken a backseat to drama? How do psychological defense mechanisms manifest in public support movements? Dreeke explores the narcissistic fragility, projection, and tribal loyalty that seem to override data, testimony, and expert analysis in one of the most polarizing trials in recent memory.
When emotion trumps evidence, truth becomes collateral damage.
