Defense Attorney Eric Faddis On The Confused Prosecution Of Karen Read

True Crime Today | A True Crime Podcast

In the latest episode of "Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski," the discussion centers around the trial of Karen Read, which is in its final stages. Former Felony Prosecutor and attorney Eric Faddis provides insights into the dynamics of the trial as it approaches its conclusion. Faddis notes that while the prosecution has a strong case, the momentum seems to have shifted in favor of the defense as deliberations enter their third day. This extended deliberation period suggests possible jury gridlock, which could result in a mistrial. The conversation highlights the various charges Read faces, including second-degree murder, motor vehicle manslaughter, and leaving the scene of a collision causing death. They delve into the prosecution's closing arguments, particularly focusing on text messages Read sent the night of the incident, which are used to construct a timeline of events. Despite the prosecution's effort to present a coherent narrative, Faddis expresses skepticism about whether they successfully bridged the gap between typical relationship issues and the alleged intent to commit murder.
