Defense Attorney Bob Motta Breaks Down The Defense Closing In The Trial of Karen Read

True Crime Today | A True Crime Podcast

In this episode of "Hidden Killers with Tony Brueski," defense attorney Bob Motta delves into the defense strategies in Karen Read's trial. A major focus is on the geo-data from John O'Keefe's phone, which shows steps taken and stairs descended after Karen Read had already left the scene. This data contradicts the prosecution's narrative, suggesting someone else was with John after her departure. Motta and Brueski discuss the reliability of such data, pointing out its fallibility and the varying interpretations based on one's belief in a conspiracy. They also scrutinize the discovery of tail light fragments, emphasizing the discrepancy in testimonies about where and when these fragments were found. The conversation critiques the prosecution's overreliance on circumstantial evidence and highlights the defense's argument of reasonable doubt, strengthened by expert witnesses who refuted the claim that John was hit by a car. The discussion ultimately underscores the polarizing nature of the case, likening it to political partisanship, where preconceived beliefs heavily influence one's interpretation of the evidence.
