MA. v Karen Read Trial Day 1 Afternoon - The O'Keefe's and Officer Saraf

I can’t ever hear “What, if any…?” Without cringing and thinking about Elaine.

I was in a BAD car accident as a teenager. I was the passenger. We were sober, no cell phones. It was not our fault. I looked over and saw the driver, who was my best friend, leaned over passed out and bleeding. She had to be airlifted out. I spent the ENTIRE time in shock screaming "OMG! IS SHE DEAD?! THIS IS ALL MY FAULT!!! WHAT IF I KILLED HER?!?!" I was in severe emotional shock (and very neurospicy) and because I had asked her to drive me home, survivors guilt made me blame myself. I was only 16 mind you, but with them all being drunk, it seems logical she could have been in shock.

For those in the chat saying they don't like the commentary: I can't watch WITHOUT the commentary!! WTF? Go somewhere else!!

Their fights were about Karen "spoiling kIds" who had lost BOTH parents????

I interpret her stating it was her fault to mean that she left him there, that she dropped him off, that she didn't stay with him.

The first officer on scene says he observed 6 inches of snow, but only a dusting on the victim??? That doesn't equate to being there all nite!

Replay crew here. Married to a now retired police officer, there is no way in heck he would have stayed inside the house if all that was going on outside in our front yard! He would at least go out to see why the emergency vehicles were there and if he was needed for anything. Especially in our own yard! I find it really strange the house occupants didn’t at least open the door to ascertain what was up. Defendant looked and sounded distressed in that police scene video. I didn’t find it strange or inappropriate, people react in so many different ways to these sorts of situations. It’s up to the lawyers to argue whether she was or wasn’t sincere.

Its possible that karens demeanor where she was hysterical, and telling Erin that they would probably never see her again could be due to her feeling responsible for leaving john at the house party and that ended up leading to his death. Remember she left dozens of angry messages on his voicemail after she allegedly "murdered" him. First of all if you killed someone why would you do that ? Furthermore i know someone who lost his sister in a hit and run and he felt responsible for her death only because he got into a terrible argument with her before she was mowed down by a speeding car.

That's an "I can still find my golf ball" amount of snow. Not even boots weather.

The Prosecution: this was the worst snowstorm ever, the snow was so deep and devastating. The Snow: *isn't even covering the lower rim of the wheels*
