On Wednesday in court a woman who has never appeared at Karen Read’s trial sat directly behind Jackie Dugal and John O’Keefe’s mother.

Her name is MaryBeth Frisoli, and she is one of John’s ex-girlfriends who remained friendly with him over the years.

 

However, it’s kind of ironic that she would sit in the courtroom casting judgement on Karen Read for allegedly hitting John with her car, because in 2010 she was found guilty and sentenced to 6 months in prison for crashing into a motorcyclist and forcing his leg to be amputated after driving drunk while going the wrong way on the Neponset River Bridge in Quincy. Her lawyer in the case was Daniel O’Malley, who became a Stoughton judge in 2016 and was the man responsible for setting both Karen Read and Turtleboy’s bail.

At the time of the collision Frisoli worked as a juvenile probation officer. She told an off duty Boston cop at the scene “It’s OK. I’m on the job.” State Police testified that she was unsteady on her feet and that her speech was slurred during a field sobriety test. They said her attempts to recite the alphabet faltered at the letter V and that she ended her attempt with the sing-song flourish taught to children in school. Frisoli claimed to have had one beer, and a Marina Bay nightclub flier was found beneath her car’s windshield wiper.

Luckily for Frisoli the victim who lost his leg showed her mercy and kindness. In a dramatic courthouse scene, taking place in the same courtroom where she now sits in judgement of Karen Read, the victim hugged her at a hearing and offered his forgiveness.

Now she casts glares at Karen Read, who unlike her and Paul O’Keefe never hit anyone with her car while driving drunk.

Here’s a profile picture she used during COVID.

If only she had stayed home instead of drinking and driving, then poor Mark Cronin would still have both legs.
