Whose Narrative Is It Anyway?: S2-E2

August 4, 2025 · 43 min

Show notes

The retrial heats up—and the stakes are higher than ever.

Karen Read's defense tries to stop the case before it starts, a disgraced lead investigator becomes a ticking time bomb, and a new special prosecutor sharpens the commonwealth's attack. With a jury finally seated and opening statements fired, both sides are playing for keeps. Will the prosecution’s precision win the day, or will the defense turn a compromised investigation into Karen Read’s best shot at freedom? 

Featuring interviews with: Rich Schoenstein, David Ring, Matt Tympanick, and Grant Ellis
