8:33 oh so Israel acknowledges that attacking hospitals is a war crime? After leveling every hospital in Gaza? Quite the nerve.

If I was Karen I would be moving somewhere less scary. "It's a boston cop" WHAT DO YOU MEAN. I'd be fearful of all boston cops now!

Can you imagine your boyfriend, dying, not being allowed to go to his funeral services, being accused of his murder, being tried for his murder only for it to end in a mistrial, being tried again for his murder and finally being cleared. Unreal the strength and composure this woman maintained.

Israel calling it a war crime to Target a hospital is insane after they targeted so many in Gaza

"I hit him, I hit him, I hit him" is basically the only evidence they had against Karen Read. Notably, no police reports or witnesses ever said she said that until 3 months after she was arrested. A police officer allegedly heard her say it on the scene of a dead police officer and then released her from the scene. Doesn't quite make sense to me.

It's basically impossible to be looking for a job, even just on the side, and not run into scam postings or scams in general. It's gross.

Been watching the Read case since the first day of the first trial. I've never been hung up on "if she killed him". She may well have, I wasn't here - nobody was, I don't know - THAT'S THE ENTIRE POINT. I'm not in a Karen Read fan club, I'm in a large group of people who are horrified by the fact that law enforcement and prosecutors can have this much disregard for best practice and common sense and still pretend they didn't do anything outrageous. It's not "picky" to expect first responders to actually write confessions in their reports (not months later). It's normal for law enforcement to interview witnesses separately, keep an evidence log and rule out alternative theories. They keep acting like WE are crazy for expecting that.

It just boggles my mind with the Karen Read case that you have a dead person on someone's lawn in front of the house and you dont talk to the owners immediately. That logically to me would be investigation 101, find out if they knew who it was, if they saw them that evening, when was the last time they saw him if they saw him.
