• Kerry Roberts finished her direct examination from Hank Brennan for the first hour of the day. She claimed that she was on her knees doing chest compressions on John O’Keefe, and later saw his cell phone on the ground and picked it up. Somehow she didn’t see any of the 47 pieces of bright red taillight that the Commonwealth claims were there.
• Kerry admitted that she didn’t talk to Jen McCabe much before John died, but they began speaking all the time afterwards and are now good friends. She has no idea that she is being used and played.
• During direct examination Kerry Roberts was asked many times about the dash cam footage. It was impossible not to notice that Jennifer McCabe is constantly talking to cops and moving her arms around, while Karen Read is the only one showing genuine shock and emotion. Further cementing the narrative that Jen was playing quarterback of the coverup by making sure she was the first person to speak with police.

• In the dash cam footage you can see Brian Albert’s house is completely dark. There is no way everyone inside that house would remain sleeping with the commotion happening on the front lawn. Jennifer McCabe just found a dead body on the lawn, no one was answering her phone calls inside the dark house, and yet she didn’t go inside for 30 minutes. What if her whole family was dead? Instead she Googled “hos long to die in cold” at 6:24 in an attempt to mask her 2:27 search for the same thing.
• Kerry testified that Jennifer McCabe didn’t call 911 from inside Kerry’s car. Yet the entire 911 call was recorded on John O’Keefe’s voicemail because Karen Read called him and left her phone running INSIDE Kerry’s car. There is no way this could’ve been picked up if she was outside the car.
• Kerry was visibly annoyed with Alan Jackson, and was rude and combative with him.
• Kerry’s memory was worse than Timothy Nuttall’s, as she had to be confronted several times with her previous testimony, which she says she didn’t remember after reading it.
• Kerry Roberts admitted that nowhere in her January 29, 2022 interview with State Police did she ever tell them that Karen Read had told her “John’s dead” at 5 AM. She admitted that she did tell police this three days later after speaking with Jennifer McCabe dozens of times.
• Kerry came across as possibly the most easily manipulated person in America. Jennifer McCabe saw her as an easy target to manipulate, much like John’s mother. Almost everything Kerry claims happened was told to her by Jennifer McCabe.
• Kerry claims that she doesn’t know anything about the group text message revealed by the FBI in which Jennifer McCabe tells Nicole Albert, Brian Albert, and Matt McCabe, “she’s telling them everything” during Kerry’s interview with police. This would mean that she NEVER discussed it after the trial, nor did she watch footage from the last trial. This is an obvious lie.
• By far the biggest bombshell of the day is that Kerry Roberts admitted that she lied to the grand jury that indicted Karen Read for murder when she said that Karen told Jennifer McCabe to Google “how long to die in cold” at 6:24 AM. She heard this from Jennifer McCabe only, but refused to admit on the stand that her false statement at the grand jury was influenced by Jen. She can’t come to terms with the fact that she is a pawn that has been used.
• The funniest part of the day was when Beverly Cannone called Kerry Robert “Mrs. McCabe” as she left. Kerry Roberts is basically the mouthpiece for Jennifer McCabe.
• Peggy O’Keefe was called to testify, and she basically added nothing. She was used by Brennan to cry and manipulate the jury to feel bad for her, in the hopes that they would feel it their moral obligation to convict Karen Read of something.
• Peggy testified that she said “what is she doing here” when she saw Karen Read at the hospital. Why was she so hostile to Karen at that point? Simple – Jennifer McCabe had already gotten to her and convinced her that Karen was responsible for killing John O’Keefe.
• Peggy O’Keefe notably had nothing good to say about her son, and made negative comments about her grandson Patrick being hard to deal with.
• Alan Jackson handled the cross examination delicately by simply stating, “I’m sorry for your loss.” Probably a smart move as the risk you take in coming across as abrasive towards a grieving mother is not worth the possible payoff.
• Nicholas Guarino testified after that about his experience with phones. He will continue his testimony on a different day.
• It was notable that Guarino came into court with a noticeable limp and held onto the jury’s railing as he walked towards the witness stand. I saw Guarino outside walking perfectly normal without any limp or need for a supporting device. He was clearly trying to make the jurors sympathize with him, as he was hit by a car(ma) since the last trial.

• The day ended with firefighter Daniel Whitley, a close personal friend of Kerry Roberts who was in the ambulance with Karen Read as she was brought to the hospital to be sectioned.
• Whitley previously testified that he defended Kerry Roberts’ honor when Karen said something negative about her in the ambulance.
• Whitley claims that Read told him that John had been outside for hours. This is in direct contrast to his grand jury testimony.

After 2 days my biggest takeaway is the defense has effectively shown that a coverup like this doesn’t require as many conspirators as skeptics claim it would. People like Kerry Roberts, Daniel Whitley, and Timothy Nuttall have no reason to take part in any sort of coverup. But all of them have simply believed what they were told from police or the McAlberts, and they don’t want to come to terms with the fact that they’ve been duped. The harder you push on them, the more they not only double down that they haven’t been fooled by the McAlberts, they also add details they didn’t say before in order to convince themselves of this.
