my therapist said “people who struggle with anxiety & depression can't remember a lot, bc they're too busy focusing on how to get through each moment so they don t actually experience what is happening to them, causing them to not form the memory they were supposed to” felt that.
Saw this on TikTok and it made me get in the feels.
@BostonDefender thank you for defending Karen and believing in her. Thank you for bringing in the “Dream Team” which also includes @Bederowlaw. What a great day for justice. All of you are amazing lawyers. #KarenRead#JOK
A Father’s Silent Grief and Quiet Strength
Watching John O’Keefe’s father throughout this entire heartbreaking trial has moved me deeply. I have so much respect for this man.
Every time he sat in that courtroom, he looked like he was carrying the weight of the world on his shoulders — his head down, quiet, solemn. You could feel the pain radiating from him. It was the grief of a father, but also something more — like a man who knew something wasn’t right.
I truly believe in my heart that he always knew Karen was not guilty. He never took part in the noise or the finger-pointing. He just… sat there. Present. Heavy with truth and loss.
But t — as they exited the courthouse — he looked different. He looked lighter. His face finally showed a glimpse of peace, like a mountain had been lifted off his back. It was as if justice, in some small way, began to crack through the darkness.
Let us continue to keep him in our thoughts. This trial may be over, but his loss is forever.
Justice for John. Peace for his father. And strength to carry the truth forward. ❤️🩹

@Bederowlaw, @LawyerYouKnow ,& @defense_diaries - If the jurors are hung on OUI, if the Judge polls the jury, will she poll them on all charges including the lesser included? That way it’s on record they agreed KR is NOT GUILTY of Count #1 and Manslaughter - except OUI
@brooklyn47361 What am I missing?!?! Did the CW and Judge forget the jury already took a field trip to 34 Fairview and have seen the doors and driveway already?!?! These pictures are nothing new. 🤯
@pambeesly3434@meredithoneil Your insight is incredibly valuable! Thank you for sharing. Based on what you knew and observed in the 1st trial, did you favor the way one side presented their case over the other? Was their any key players that annoyed you and/or other members of the jury?
@DoctorTurtleboy If I was a juror, all Hanky’s objections are just as damaging to the CW as if Aunty Bev would allow Dr. Wolfe to answer. It’s like Hanky knows his baby is ugly, but isn’t going to allow anyone else to say that.
@CourtNSims4 How has she NEVER spoken to AJ before and hadn’t spoken to anyone else on the defense team since prior to Trial 1, but then goes onto accuse AJ himself with threatening her with perjury prior to today?
@Bederowlaw Then Dever said she learned she had “false memory” of the Sally port when “presented with a timeline” that claims her memory couldn’t be accurate. What timeline? By whom was it presented? Was it because there was no Sallyport video to support her claims?
@Bederowlaw@Bederowlaw - Dever first admitted she’d NEVER talked to AJ and hadn’t talked to anyone else on the defense since prior to the 1st trial. Then later accuses AJ of threatening her with perjury if she didn’t “lie” on the stand?!?! So which is it?
