MAGA thinks that Angela Paxton is the bad guy for filing for divorce after her husband’s long track record of humiliating infidelity.
These are the same people that crucified Hillary for staying with Bill.
MAGA morality is very flexible.
WAIT… wait. Are you telling me that KEN PAXTON may not be a good guy? The person legally empowered to interpret the final letter of the law in our state doesn’t hold himself to high ethical standards!?
Who could have seen this coming except everyone?
I would like to address what some are calling an issue with a statement made by Juror #11, Paula Prado, in our first interview together.
When Prado was asked what witness she trusted the most, she responded:
"...forensic scientists from the Massachusetts State Police Lab, like Maureen Hartnett and Tess Chart."
Having followed both trial one and trial two, I immediately knew Tess Chart was not a witness in the second trial. I paused when I read the response. Like many of you, my first thought was that she had followed the case prior to being selected as a juror.
I had to think very carefully about what to do next. I felt if I even asked Prado about this, it would compromise the integrity of the initial response. As someone who supports Karen Read, I thought about eliminating the question from the interview, to avoid any negative feedback. I also thought about it being a simple mistake but again, even talking about it seemed wrong.
Ultimately, I made the decision to publish the article with the responses exactly as they were given to me. My integrity as an independent journalist is paramount and that felt right.
I never mentioned it to Prado.
Today, unsolicited, she texted me asking if I wanted her to correct the statement. In her text to me, she offered this explanation:
"Unfortunately, I wasn't able to memorize 30 plus names, and when I was writing about the witness who stood out to me, I was thinking of one of the forensic scientists from the MSP Lab. I don't remember her name. Maureen stuck with me because we had just talked about her specifically during deliberation."
Prado went on to say:
"So I Googled "Forensic Expert Soft Voice Karen Read," and that name (Tess Chart) came up. The picture looked similar to the person I had in mind, so I just copied it."
Prado went on to send me a screenshot of Massachusetts State Police forensic scientist CHRISTINA HANLEY, who did testify in this trial and a photo of Tess Chart. Both women are young with brown straight hair that they wore pulled back while on the stand. Both women wore a black suit jacket with a white shirt underneath, adding to the confusion Prado had when looking up the witness.
I want to be clear. This was not something I missed. I knew. But as you all know, I maintain that my one job is to ask questions and share responses with you. I also did not add any narrative to my interview, so it remained authentic and as Prado intended. This may have allowed bad characters to cultivate a false narrative but as you all know, the truth eventually comes to light.
I am confident Paula Prado is being honest in her explanation and I applaud her for her commitment to telling her story.

Now you’re pissing me off.. 🤬You can have an opinion of jurors who come forward and be upset with the final outcome while still being a decent human..
Fuck ALL the way off for FABRICATING sound bites. @WolfgangBodhi you are desperate for clicks but let’s be honest Matt, you will never be a TikTok influencer. You have posted 236 smear campaign videos about Karen Read and still only have 31K followers. @CoffindafferFBI you are reposting defamatory allegations about jurors? The same broad who preached about the sanctity of juries and that all jurors must be protected from juror intimidation post trial one? You’re a hypocrite and absolute disgrace to the FBI.
Facts matter #Journalism
JUROR 11 STATED AFTER THE VERDICT.. she downloaded X and followed journalists. And??? If juror 11 is FKR she missed some big memos: Didn’t think Jen McCabe googled at 2:27AM, thought Turtle Boy was an environmental movement to save the turtles, believed Karen was guilty of OUI, and even liked Judge Cannone and Hank Brennan. In the same interview you demonize her - she expresses how deeply saddened she is for the O’Keefe family🥺
Enough is enough. Stop 🛑
@eupaulaprado and all other jurors who performed their civic duty please know that there are laws in place in MA to offer you protection from harassment.
Do not allow people on this platform or anywhere else to harass, bully and dox you.
Make the call or email the Office of Jury Commissioner post haste. Jury Duty is one of, if not the most important civic duties we have as citizens.
The harassment I have seen of the Jurors who have elected to give interviews to discuss their experience is outrageous and cannot be allowed. We cannot have citizens becoming afraid to serve as jurors out of fear of retaliation from those who disagree with a verdict that is rendered.
The outrageous actions of these people harassing you is NOT protected by the First Amendment.
Thank you for your service. ❤️
