Description

Ronald Estanislao, a juror in the first Karen Read trial joins NewsNation to discuss what went on behind those closed doors that led to a mistrial. Podcast host Annie Elise also joins NewsNation to discuss a pivotal moment in the first Read murder trial, where the defense scored big by catching a prosecution witness, Kerry Roberts, contradicting her earlier grand jury testimony. Roberts originally claimed she overheard Karen telling a friend to Google “hypothermia” the morning officer John O’Keefe was found dead, but on the stand, she admitted someone “told me to say it.” That crack in the prosecution’s case gives Read’s team serious momentum. Later, O’Keefe’s mother testified, painting Read as cold and self-interested, but the day ultimately tilted in the defense’s favor. #KarenRead #mistrial #crime Ashleigh Banfield is *the* definitive authority on the nation’s biggest true crime stories.

The trial wears Jen's colours so strongly that even Bev mispoke and called Kerry Ms McCabe

A masterclass by AJ on how to cross examine a lying witness. He exposed how deeply these people are committed to frame karen Read.

This woman Kerry was under something she looks extremely calm. She committed perjury and she admitted it.

Karen Read “didn’t offer condolences”, “didn’t offer a hug”: She was living with the victim and thus his significant other; perhaps she should have been given hugs and condolences; I imagine Karen was in extreme shock!
