Karen Read Update-Jury Selection begins and the Commonwealth, still has not submitted discovery!
The Karen Read trial begins with jury selection. The Commonwealth STILL hasn't completed discovery and has asked when testing is finished to submit the "evidence". I don't think that's how discovery works. The Commonwealth can afford a not guilty in this case, however they cannot withstand the corruption revelations that are on the horizon. This case will go down in Massachusetts history as being wholly corrupt.

(Replay) Plymouth Mail Truck Robbery 1962-The equivalent of 13 Million in cash stolen, and never recovered
In August 1962 the U.S.Postal Service wanted to save money on armored car services. Instead of high security, they had a truck driver and one guard transport money, in mail trucks from Cape Cod post offices, to the Federal Reserve Bank in Boston. What could go wrong? It took local criminals about three weeks to rob this truck of millions. The media coverage was intense and the government sent postal inspectors to investigate. Local gangsters were not impressed, deriding them as "Stamp Police". A record breaking reward of $150,000 (1.3 Million today) was presented, but never claimed. The defendants, tied to Rhode Island organized crime were ultimately acquitted at trial. This case remains unsolved and no money was ever recovered.

The Heath Street Gang-not so bright but members were deadly, one dolt committed a shooting, while on an ankle monitor
The Heath Street gang has been a blight on the Bromley-Heath Housing project for decades, but a large scale raid in 2024, has decimated the gang. The gang's members were deadly, but not very smart. During one foray into murder, one Heath Street gang member, shot another, while the duo tried to kill a gang rival. Another member conducted a shooting, while on an ankle monitor for another felony, that's the level of intelligence that the FBI and other authorities were dealing with.
There was also significant Covid relief fraud, delineated by the gang members rap songs. That's right they sing about their crimes, while dancing with firearms. Genius! Please share this episode!

Karen Read Update-March 30, 2024- Five government witness will have to lie at trial, motions to dismiss denied
During the last week of March 2024, two motions in this case were denied. A motion to dismiss filed by the defense and a motion to disqualify the Norfolk County District Attorney's Office. The judge did excoriate the DA's office for an absurd media package they had produced and distributed, the DA stated that the lead homicide investigator did not have a personal relationship with witnesses in this case. The federal corruption investigation revealed this was a lie and the DA likely knew it.
At least five state witnesses will likely have to lie during this trial including the lead homicide investigator. This case is falling apart, yet we head to trial.

(Replay) Keith Luke 2009-A lunatic who carved a swastika into his forehead, went on a rampage that left two dead and one raped and shot
Keith Luke 22, appears to be a somewhat conflicted white supremacist, he claimed to have committed this murderous act over racial animosity, however in the days before this madness, he tried, persistently to date at least two women of color. His racism seemed to be a symptom of him being an "incel", involuntary celibate. He had approached three women at a Planet Fitness in Brockton and basically asked to be in an immediate relationship with Selma Goncalves, she naturally rebuffed this hulking mess. Days later Keith Luke broke into Selma's home and brutalized her roommate, eventually shooting her multiple times, Selma returned during this nightmare, she wouldn't survive. During the legal process it became clear that Luke, had been a lifelong schizophrenic, who saved and consumed his own urine. Please tune in and share this episode!

Update Karen Read Case-March 2024-The FBI reveal that that Karen's car was not the murder weapon
Bombshells were dropped in the last hearing from the promised "Touhy" information, supplied by the DOJ. Some of the information revealed; Three FBI accident reconstructionists have reported that Karen Read's vehicle did not strike John O'Keefe and John was not killed by a vehicle strike. BOOM! Why is Karen Read still under indictment and how did the taillight fragments get to the crime scene, if there was NO vehicle strike???
The FBI also confirmed (Introduced by the defense) that the infamous google search by Jen Mcabe 2:27am ("how long to die in the cold") did occur. It was also revealed the District Attorney Morrisey allowed Brian Higgins and Brian Albert to DESTROY their cell phone, despite a court order to retain all electronic devices. The FBI also revealed that Higgins and B.Albert had a conversation on the destroyed phones just prior to the "how long to die in the cold" google search, despite saying in police reports that they were asleep by that time.
Finally, the defense revealed that homicide investigator Michael Proctor admitted to his substantial friendship with the Alberts during his testimony before the federal grand jury, investigating police corruption.
A text message from Micheal Proctor's sister to Investigator Proctor revealed that his sister ran into Julie Albert, where she stated a desire to give Micheal Proctor "a gift, when this is all over" Trooper Proctor replied "give it to my wife". This was clearly a bribe to keep the Alberts out of the jackpot in this case.

Not based on facts when covering Karen Read
Wow
After reading Howie Carr’s book, The Brothers Bulger, I became fascinated with true cr. Looking for more, my search brought me to Boston Confidential. After I realized Barry had several years of podcasts, I started binging on his many, fascinating podcasts. Now that I have to rely on once a week episodes I sometimes listen to other true crime podcasts. Nobody comes close to Barry. He’s entertaining, honest, and is definitely gifted for this platform. I’ve read several of the books he’s recommended, and I have followed his lead on my of the crimes he’s outlined. I also like his special guest interviews, such as Aiden “Turtleboy” Kearney and Michelle MacPhee. Barry doesn’t waste e, jumping right in to each episode. Unlike other true crime podcasts, Barry is never vulgar or offensive, unlike other podcasters who feel the need for “f bombs” to make their point. When it comes to true crime, this is it! Barry is the real deal.
