Summary
Did the defense just cook up a whole new recipe for reasonable doubt? When it comes to the Karen Read case, one of the biggest battles isn’t about witness testimony or forensic evidence—it’s about cold, hard data. Specifically, the kind of data that comes straight from the company that provides it. Yet somehow, that’s still up for debate in court.
In this episode, Tony Brueski and former felony prosecutor Eric Faddis break down how cell phone records—something that should be as clear as reading a clock—have become a point of confusion, misinterpretation, and possibly even manipulation. When the company behind the data says, “Here’s exactly what it means,” but the defense says, “Nah, we’ll go with our own version,” what happens to the truth? And more importantly, what happens when jurors can’t tell the difference between facts and smoke and mirrors?
If the strongest legal strategy is just throwing enough confusion at the wall to see what sticks, what does that say about the case itself?

| 0:58.9 | This is Hidden Killers with Tony Brewski. Here now, Tony Bruske. |
| 1:05.3 | There seems to be a piece in this case that when I look at it, again, I'm not, I think Karen Reid should probably |
| 1:14.2 | be free. Not that I think she wasn't involved in his death. I think it was a horrible accident. |
| 1:18.8 | I think everybody's been drugged through the coals. And at this point, we're never really going to |
| 1:23.4 | know. And I think everybody has regret. Nobody, I think, set out to murder anyone that night. |
| 1:28.5 | The other part of this case that is really troubling to me is the cell phone data. To me, |
| 1:35.9 | if you were to go to an expert, not even just an expert, let's go to the company that decodes this information that you're relying on for your data. |
| 1:48.4 | And they explain to you what you're looking at. You'd already looked at it and said, well, here's what this is. |
| 1:54.7 | Well, the company says, no, it's not. You're actually inaccurate. But here's what it really is. We understand how you may have taken it that way, but at a deeper dive, things you don't see |
| 2:04.1 | on the surface, here's what the timeline really is for when these searches were conducted. |
| 2:08.4 | The fact that you have the actual company giving you the ingredients to the secret sauce, |
| 2:13.5 | and somebody else is saying, I don't think those are the right ingredients. |
| 2:18.8 | It's just kind of denying reality at this point, |
| 2:22.2 | saying, well, we got a guy over here who thinks they make a better recipe. |
