True Crime Today | A True Crime Podcast

In this episode of "Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski," defense attorney Bob Motta discusses the mistrial in the Karen Read case, emphasizing the difficulty of retrying the case due to the intense public scrutiny and the challenge of finding an impartial jury in Massachusetts. Motta highlights the problematic behavior of Trooper Proctor, whose early judgment and inappropriate comments could undermine the prosecution's case. The conversation touches on the crucial evidence, such as the microscopic tail light fragments found in the victim's clothing, and the importance of understanding the jury's decision-making process from the mistrial. Motta suggests that the defense might need to reconsider their strategy and potentially avoid a third-party culprit theory. He also reflects on the impact of the trial on the victim's family and the broader implications for the justice system.
