Hank Brennan elected to amputate Michael Proctor and Sean Goode, and any evidence gathered from trial 2. The case in chief was tightly moored to data and Karen Read’s own statements.
Proctor’s and Goode’s vile & abhorrent behavior over text exhibits with striking clarity that Proctor had no guardrails, no inhibition, zero hesitation and absolutely no discernible awareness of repercussion. And not a single word, thought or suggestion about planting evidence against Karen Read. Nothing. Zilch.
It’s also interesting to me that Jackson flew cross country to depose Proctor but didn’t even call him as a witness in the second trial. Brennan subpoenaed Proctor and Goode to avail them to the defense despite having no plan to call them. The defense elected to call Proctor’s friends instead. It isn’t apparent if @BostonDefender was even consulted in strategy decisions, but maybe he can shine some light on that?
If you zoom out from the PR game and sound bytes Jackson and Read brought to the Today Show, you’ll see that Brennan’s decision that the CWs case in chief should not include Proctor/Goode - or their evidence - displayed fairness and integrity.
And elite foresight.
@theymattered25@Andieldufrense The judge knows the lawsuit was planned PR, has zero merit for a plethora of reasons & will be dismissed.
A wealthy murderer’s abuse of the judicial system, professional misconduct of her attorneus got under Judge Gildea’s skin.
It will not end well.
