    Conspiracy in Canton - 016

    Conspiracy in Canton - 016

    This week we cover the testimony of Matt and Jen McCabe, including some heated exchanges in the cross examinations. Jen McCabe details to the jury the harassment she has faced, Kerry Roberts testifies about the morning she found John O'Keefe in the snow, and we hear from the Sullivan sisters about an argument in Aruba on New Years Eve. 

    It's one of the most polarizing cases in true crime history, and trial is underway. A 16 year veteran of the Boston Police Department, left to die in one of the biggest blizzards in Massachusetts history. Prosecution has charged his girlfriend, 42 year old Karen Read, with his murder, claiming she hit him with her car during a fight and left him to die in the cold. The defense says Read is being framed, set up to take the fall by one of the most powerful families in this Boston suburb- all to protect one of their own.

    There are discrepancies in statements, missing camera footage, and deep family ties to everyone from the lead investigator to the attorney general’s office, to the judge. With every new piece of evidence, a new controversy arises.

Conspiracy in Canton

Awesome pod cast very thorough reporting

Medib3 ,

Outstanding podcast, darn it!

As a Massachusetts resident and true crime junkie, I was well aware of the Karen Read case, particularly over the last six months. However, I was doing my best not to go down that rabbit hole. Another podcast’s segment on the case along with a recommendation from a podcaster whom I admire and trust, and I listened to Episode 01 of The 13th Juror. The rabbit hole opened wide and I binged 16 episodes and I’m now checking my feed for the next one. Junkie, indeed.

Brandi is well spoken, concise, and thought provoking. Her timelines on her website are things of beauty. She’s fair and balanced but also doesn’t shy away from pointing the absurdities of this trial, of which there are many. She does not let her listeners forget that underneath the craziness of this trial, is a good man who lost his life and whose family deserves to know the truth.

Love this podcast, but hope …

that the sound gets more consistent. Not the trial audio, which I know is out of her control, but even the commentary sometimes gets very quiet and then very loud again. Content is great and very detailed and host is easy to listen to.
