The filings submitted by Karen Read's attorneys after the July 1st hearing paint a very different picture than what was presented in court regarding the Michael Proctor "health information leak".
One of the biggest revelations is that, according to Read's attorneys, it was Michael Proctor's own counsel who brought Aidan Kearney's X post to Judge Gildea's attention. The very post that became the foundation of the emergency hearing was submitted to the Court by Proctor's team.
Read's attorneys argue that the post was then misrepresented because its timestamp was interpreted incorrectly. During the July 1st hearing, Judge Gildea stated that the X post appeared approximately 30 minutes after Proctor's attorneys emailed additional materials to the Court on June 8th. That timeline formed the basis for the Court's concern that information from provisionally impounded filings had been publicly disseminated.
Read's attorneys now say that timeline is factually wrong. Their supplemental filing explains that X displays timestamps in UTC under certain settings. To support that argument, they attached X's own explanation of its time zone display along with screenshots of the post. According to Read's attorneys, Aidan Kearney's post was actually published at 10:52am EST, more than three hours before Proctor's attorneys emailed their supplemental filing to the Court at 2:22pm.
Read's attorneys also argue that the information was already public before Proctor's filing. They point to additional X posts and a YouTube livestream discussing the same information before the supplemental filing was ever emailed to the Court and counsel.
If Read's timeline is accurate, this was a tremendous expenditure of judicial and litigant resources over a factual misunderstanding. 🗣
Every attorney in the case was ordered into court where a total of 32 certifications were submitted. On top of that, discovery was interrupted. The Court discussed the possibility of contempt, sanctions, dismissal, and default. Read's attorneys were then forced to file both an Emergency Motion to Clarify the Record and a Supplemental Memorandum asking the Court to correct what they describe as an inaccurate factual premise.
In my opinion, this filing makes one thing abundantly clear: Michael Proctor's legal team appears to be doing everything they can to keep him from sitting across the table from Alan Jackson again.
First came the emergency motion to delay the deposition, then the motion to impound, then the emergency hearing. Now Read's attorneys are arguing that the very basis for that hearing was built on a timeline that was wrong from the start.
If that's true, this was supposed to stop a deposition but that strategy has completely backfired. Instead, it may have created one of the biggest self-inflicted legal headaches we've seen in this litigation thus far.
On the 250th anniversary of our country's independence, I am reminded of Judge Gildea's recent speech, in which he lectured everyone about not discussing the coverup of John O'Keefe's murder outside of the "solemnity of the courtroom."
Our Founding Fathers, the men who risked their lives by signing the Declaration of Independence, would've laughed at that idea. He said that our Founding Fathers would want American citizens to maintain "the quiet expectation of fairness" after watching an innocent man's murderers get covered up by a tyrannical government, an innocent woman framed for his murder, and an award winning journalist indicted and incarcerated for refusing to remain silent about it.
He clearly knows very little about the Founding Fathers.
Sam Adams and John Hancock's idea of fairness involved hot tar and feathers for tyrants, and to do so in the loudest way possible. Only a tyrannical government would want the public to refrain from discussing the behavior of a neo-Nazi detective who has tried to take away my liberty and Karen Read's.
The "quiet expectation of fairness" is something that never existed in this country, and our right to talk about it on social media ensures that the government will think twice before ever doing this to anyone else ever again.
Third world communists are the enemy. They've taken over our greatest American city. They're taking over one of our two major political parties. They hate this country. They hate white people. They hate our heritage and traditions. This is the fight. Get in the game or go away.

Sara Fields was in the courtroom for this entire trial. She also was there from the beginning and is a major player in this trial.
Congratulations to her and all the hard work she put in on this
Karmelo Anthony is yet another young black male who threw his life away — and more importantly took away an innocent person’s life — for no reason. It’s time for the black community to stop rallying around and defending these sociopath thugs and instead work on raising children who won’t make these kinds of insane, self-destructive choices in the first place.
