In this episode of "Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski," retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke discusses the problematic aspects of the prosecution in the Karen Read trial, particularly focusing on the lead investigator, Michael Proctor. Dreeke and Brueski delve into Proctor's testimony and the significant issues it raises regarding credibility, leadership, and investigative integrity. They highlight how Proctor's actions, driven by negative confirmation bias, have tainted the investigation, potentially affecting the trial's outcome and public trust in law enforcement.
