Proof vs. Possibility: S2-E6

September 1, 2025 · 42 min

Show notes

The prosecution says the data proves it: Karen Read backed into John O’Keefe and left him to die. But the medical examiner still won’t call it a homicide. Now that the prosecution has rested, we break down the Commonwealth’s case; what they showed, what they skipped, and why the defense thinks that silence might speak louder than science.

Featuring interviews with: Matt Tympanick, Rich Schoenstein, Ian Runkle, and Naida Rutherford
