Summary

Will the Science Prove Karen Read’s Innocence? Attorney Bob Motta Thinks So

In the premiere segment, Tony Brueski and Bob Motta cut straight to the most decisive element of the Karen Read case: the forensic evidence. According to Motta, this case isn’t about drama, hearsay, or even Karen Read’s bizarre behavior. It’s about whether the physical evidence proves she hit John O’Keefe with her Lexus — and right now, the science says she didn’t.

Motta places his trust in independent experts — specifically the ARCCA engineers hired by the Department of Justice, who testified that the damage to the Lexus and the injuries to O’Keefe do not match a typical vehicle-pedestrian strike. In other words, no broken bones, no directional wounds, no blood patterns to suggest a hit-and-run. And this testimony, unlike Proctor’s or McCabe’s, doesn’t change. It’s science.

Tony counters with a key question: what happens if new vehicle data does emerge — like black box logs or OnStar records — that shows a collision at the time of death? Motta admits that would be damning. But he’s not holding his breath. If prosecutors had a “smoking gun” like that, he says, they’d have led with it.

This episode explores the growing tension between Karen Read’s self-incriminating statements and the cold, hard science that seems to contradict them. It’s the ultimate courtroom clash: Karen’s words vs. the data.

week, I feel like, you know, Yuri Buchanek or Buchanek, however you don't want to pronounce it, is,

1:07.1

I mean, like, it was clearly the position of Hank Brennan that he was going to be put on the stand to take the bullets for the whole team.

1:18.2

It seems pretty clear to me that they're not going to be calling Proctor in their case in chief.

1:23.8

I'd be surprised if they did at this point because, I mean, he's just had Buchanick up there taking all the heat for all the cops.

1:33.7
