The more I go back through Julie Albert’s statements and testimony, the more questions I have. Start with the migraine.
Julie says she left the Waterfall shortly after 11 because she had a terrible migraine.
Colin is still out. She testified that she and Colin were “in communication” during the evening. Then Colin testifies that when he is leaving 34 Fairview he says “I’m going home. My mom wants me home. I love you guys. Bye.” And when Colin finally gets home, Julie says one of the first things he asks her is whether she is feeling better. Okay. How did Colin know she wasn’t feeling well?
Did Julie tell him about the migraine? Is that why “my mom wants me home”?
And if they were communicating that night, what communication was it?
Text? Call? Snapchat? Where is it? Now let’s add the timing.
Julie originally says Chris got home around 12:10 and Colin came home 10–15 minutes AFTER Chris. Except the Waterfall video shows Chris still there and leaving at approximately 12:13:46.
Using the walking time discussed in court, and our Chronkbusted experiments, Chris gets home roughly 12:20–12:21. Add Julie’s 10–15 minutes and her own sequence puts Colin home roughly 12:30–12:36 at best!
So how does that coexist with the much earlier Colin/Allie departure timeline?
And now another thing I’ve been pointing out since DAY ONE:
The driveway. Look at the vehicles around 7 AM. Two Albert vehicles.
Jen McCabe’s vehicle. Where is Brian Jr.’s vehicle?
Because Julie later testifies that when she arrives around 8:30 AM to deliver his birthday donuts, she pulls into the driveway and walks toward the vehicle in front of her to put the donuts and card inside Brian Jr.’s car. So was one of those earlier vehicles Brian Jr.’s?
If not, when did his car get there? And from where?
Now go back to the very first MSP interview. February 10, 2022.
Proctor and Bukhenik interview Julie and Chris together at their house, almost two weeks after John O’Keefe died.
And Bukhenik’s written report contains the sentence Julie and Chris were at the Waterfall and then “followed to Brian Albert’s home in the early morning hours of January 29.”
Hold on. Because Julie’s trial testimony is that she left the Waterfall because of the migraine and went home. Chris later walked home.
Then Julie says she didn’t go to 34 Fairview until roughly 8:30 the next morning.
So what exactly does Bukhenik mean when his report says they “then followed to Brian Albert’s home in the early morning hours”?
That same report says Julie was asleep at 4:55 AM, Jen’s missed call woke her, and that was how she learned John was dying. In the 1st trial She says she woke around 8 AM, saw a missed call she remembered as roughly 5:55, there was no voicemail or text, she never spoke to Jen, never called her back, and says she learned something happened to John only after she arrived at 34 Fairview.
Then look at what happens around the MSP investigation. Before Julie is even interviewed, she is having repeated phone contact with Michael Proctor’s sister Courtney. Then February 10 Proctor interviews Julie and Chris at their home.
Shortly afterward, records shown at trial indicated Julie called Proctor’s personal phone at about 6:17 PM, and Proctor called her back around 6:21 PM for roughly four minutes.
Julie says she doesn’t remember what they discussed. Fast-forward to 2024.
MSP investigators now interview Julie regarding her relationship and communications with Michael Proctor. March 18: first recorded interview.
March 19: she comes back after locating Proctor’s contact and messages in her phone.
April 3: third interview, and she finally consents to a limited search of her phone for communications involving Proctor.
Can somebody put Julie Albert’s own accounts into one single timeline that actually works? Because every time I try… 🐝 another bee flies out.
I just saw the texts from Michael Proctor that Howie Carr released. Stunned by how awful they were. That includes Sgt. Goode of CPD. I worked with and hung around with a lot of cops in Worcester when I owned a bar there. I saw a lot of locker room humor, "cop talk". But these texts don't resemble anything I ever saw with those guys. Not even ballpark. The racist and antisemitic nature of these texts is appalling and indefensible. The damage done to the image of law enforcement in the region is incalculable.
None of these texts show corruption, however. None show planting evidence in any case, let alone #KarenRead. The fundamental truth in the case remains: she is guilty beyond any doubt simply based on evidence the defense presented no expert to dispute. If she wants to take me to court for that, let's go. I'd be happy to present the evidence to a jury...and I won't lose.
On May 3, 2023, @greg_d_henning, who still has an appearance on file on behalf of Brian Albert in the Karen Read case, filed a brief opposing defense access to records of Chloe's history of violence. On page 7 of his brief, he certified to the court that Brian Albert's dog had no documented history of violence before May of 2022, yet during the trial we may learn that this asserted "fact" was untrue. He also made other assertions of fact in his brief that may be shown to be untrue during the course of the trial. https://t.co/3giWnxzaZC. (This brief and many other case filings can be found on the twitter page of the fabulous @sleuthiegoosie)
A lawyer in Massachusetts has an ethical duty to be truthful to the court and correct factual misstatements all the way through the end of the case. If any of the "facts" that @greg_d_henning certified to the court in his brief were untrue and he remains silent, he may be violating Massachusetts Rules of Professional Conduct, Rule 3.3(a)(1), 3.3(a)(c) and 3.3(c). https://t.co/d5ryDz4m6Y . The very title of this ethical rule states what is required of a lawyer in Massachusetts: "Candor towards the tribunal."
While his attempted defense in an ethical complaint against him under Rule 3.3 could be that an asserted fact is no longer a "material" fact, @greg_d_henning still had a duty to inquire into the facts that he was asserting before having made his filing, so he may have already violated Massachusetts Rules of Professional Conduct, Rule 3.1, which states: “A lawyer shall not … defend a proceeding, or assert or controvert an issue therein, unless there is a basis in law and fact for doing so that is not frivolous.” Comment [2] to that rule states: "What is required of lawyers … is that they inform themselves about the facts of their clients’ cases … and determine that they can make good faith arguments in support of their clients’ positions.” Rule 11(a)(1) of the Massachusetts Rules of Civil Procedure confirms that point: "The signature of any attorney to a pleading constitutes a certificate … to the best of the attorney’s knowledge, information, and belief there is a good ground to support it.” Hence, possibly getting lied to by the client and not checking the truth of a key point and just repeating the point to the court doesn't quite pass this ethical test. https://t.co/ino3hYKeVv
It will be interesting to see whether @greg_d_henning takes adequate steps to ward off this potential ethical complaint before his asserted "facts" become seen at trial as untrue.
💥Proctor was asked if he’d do anything differently today & he said NO.
💥Wouldn’t he take a picture of KR’S tail light before towing it?
💥Wouldn’t he have viewed the ring cameras?
These things would exonerate him if KR had really hit JO.
💥His statement proves his guilt!
