Yesterday in Plymouth Superior Court a judge allowed Karen Read’s motion to stay her deposition and discovery in the O’Keefe’s civil lawsuit against her, while denying her motion to stay the proceedings entirely.

What this means is two things:

1. Karen Read cannot be deposed or asked to provide discovery until her criminal trial is over.
2. Karen Read can depose anyone she wants in the mean time, including the O’Keefes, McAlberts, Proctors, and anyone else involved in her criminal case.

The judge’s ruling points out that forcing a criminal defendant to participate in a civil case increases the likelihood that they could be forced to self-incriminate.

Even though Karen Read has nothing to hide, we are dealing with dishonest people who will spin anything she says in order to misrepresent her words. These people cannot be trusted to act in good faith. The judge pointed out that staying the civil proceedings with Read for 6 months wouldn’t violate the public interest or prejudice the O’Keefes.

The ONLY reason they filed this lawsuit was because their idiot lawyer told them that he could use her public interviews to get around the 5th Amendment. Turns out they were given bad legal advice. Live look at the “grieving” family.

When asked for comment Peggy O’Keefe only said two words – “Where’s Lindsey?” It’s unclear how this brings justice for her murdered son.

The O’Keefes also argued that staying the civil proceedings would cause the Waterfall and C.F. McCarthy’s to experience memory loss and not testify accurately. This argument was rejected by the court.

The O’Keefe’s said that the jury pool would be influenced by a delay, which the judge disagreed with, pointing out that the voir dire process allows lawyers to ensure that they choose impartial jurors.

However, the judge is allowing the O’Keefe’s to continue on with their lawsuit against C.F. MCarthy’s and the Waterfall, since witnesses from those establishments are not on trial and do not have 5th Amendment rights that apply to Read’s case.

As the judge pointed out, C.F. Mccarthy’s and the Waterfall have no choice but to adopt Karen Read’s third party culprit defense, because their liability depends on whether or not Read hit O’Keefe with her car (she didn’t, according to science). And although the O’Grifts may find Read’s TV appearances distasteful, this does NOT mean she waived her 5th Amendment rights.

Duh.

This is a HUGE win for Read. As I predicted long ago, the McAlberts did NOT want the O’Keefe’s to sue Karen Read because it could open them up to all sorts of discovery. Read will now be able to subpoena all of these witnesses for things that Judge Cannone denied in Rule 17 motions. This could include Brian Albert’s cell phone records, Michael Proctor’s work phone, and a plethora of other evidence that could blow her criminal case wide open, and directly incriminate the McAlberts.

Oops!

The O’Keefe’s attorney argued in court last week that Read had given up her Fifth Amendment rights because she had given interviews with the media. However, Judge White ruled that one does not surrender their Fifth Amendment rights simply because they exercised their First Amendment rights. Karen Read’s attorneys had asked the judge for a stay on the proceedings. Paul O’Grift’s lawyers could have agreed to this, but instead they made the absurd legal argument that Read no longer had 5th Amendment rights and it was unfair to delay the case. It completely backfired, and as a result his good friends the McAlberts have become collateral damage.

The McAlberts have been able to protect themselves for so long because they have convinced the O’Keefe’s they are innocent. Having the victim’s family bring you to court on the final day of Read’s trial is a powerful statement to the jury, which is what they intended it to be. But the problem is they convinced the O’Keefe’s TOO much. They convinced them so much that the O’Keefe’s believed they could win a lawsuit against Read, and that the McAlberts had nothing to hide. This is Brian Albert’s worst nightmare come true.

The bottom line is that Paul and Peggy are just butthurt that so many people go to court to support Karen Read. I am the one responsible for that support and those crowds, but they don’t blame me for it, they blame Karen. They didn’t really start hating her until I started backing her. They liked it when she was alone and scared in court. They despise confident, smiling Karen Read. Paul himself said that he wants my support, and he’s mad at her because he believes she conned me into believing she is innocent. But the fact of the matter is it was the evidence that convinced me, and if he’d bother to look at it with an open mind it would convince him too.
