All I’ve heard from the McAlbert Mafia was what a badass newly appointed Special Prosecutor Hank Brennan is, and how Karen Read was suddenly in a lot of trouble. One of those people was trashbag Tik Tok nepotism attorney Katherine Loftus, who posted a video saying “fuck around, find out” after hearing that Brennan was now leading the prosecution.

But after watching his first performance in court today it seems as if he’s nothing more than a pre-pubescent Adam Lally. And in one of the more telling things that happened today he accidentally referred to the defense as “the government,” while admitting that he didn’t watch the first trial and still believed that Dr. Russell wasn’t qualified to talk about dog bites.

 

Hank Brennan didn’t take this case to prosecute Karen Read, he took this case to defend the McAlberts. When he defended Whitey Bulger he tried to put the federal government on trial. The same federal government that has been investigating the Norfolk DA’s Office, State Police, and all of his star witnesses. He realizes that the McAlberts are the ones who are actually on trial, and that the defense at this point is a surrogate of the federal government that is trying to put them all in jail.

The fact that he admitted in open court that he didn’t watch the first trial but still said Dr. Marie Russell didn’t have the proper expertise really says it all. The defense had to fly her in early before she testified to undergo a voir dire, which she passed with flying colors. She made it clear, as did Dr. Frank Sheridan, that John O’Keefe’s arm was covered in dog bites. But of course Auntie Bev will once again make the defense fly Dr. Russell in at Karen Read’s expense, in order to prove to the latest hack that she’s smarter than Trooper Paul.

Brennan also came in unable to argue the Rule 17 motion for Bill Read’s phone because he hadn’t served him with a subpoena. The fact that Brennan is wasting his time trying to get Bill Read’s phone shows that he is just as inept and lost as Lally was. The government believes, without any evidence, that Karen confessed to her parents at 1:14 AM that she had just run John over. But there’s just a few problems:

1. They already have Karen Read’s phone, so they could see any phone calls she made to her father.
2. Even if they got Bill Read’s phone they’d only be able to see phone calls, not the content of what they spoke about on the phone.
3. Karen’s Cellebrite data shows that she didn’t speak with her father until 6:32 AM, when she called him for 4 minutes.

Interesting to not that Jennifer McCabe finally snuck inside 34 Fairview Road at 6:34, while Karen was on the phone with her father.

Karen’s cell phone records show that she called her mother at 1:14 AM, but that call was unanswered. It then shows her calling John O’Keefe close to 30 times, before a 3 hour break with no calls, when she passed out on the couch. When she woke up and realized he still wasn’t home she began calling him again, before finally waking up Kayley and calling Jennifer McCabe.

Brennan won the motion to ship Karen’e Lexus to Houston to have the government’s new Twitter expert – Man Shanon Burgess – do a “chip off” to download her tech stream data. Brennan was forced to admit that Burgess was wrong when he said that only 1/8 of the data had been acquired before the first trial, because he was unaware that bits are 1/8 of bytes. The defense objected on the grounds that Burgess is incompetent and the testing could destroy the tech stream data completely if done wrong, because they seem to be the only side concerned with preserving evidence.

Both the prosecution and the defense asked Judge Cannone to move the trial date from January 27 to April, but it was Brennan who seemed to want that more, as he admitted that he is woefully unprepared. No agreement was made, as Auntie Bev was in rare form today and seemed unwilling to move the date at all. Personally, I’m all for moving the trial date because it was cold as balls outside the court today, and I’m not looking forward to spending the entire month of February freezing my ass off in Dedham.

The next hearing for the Rule 17 motions for Bill Read’s phone, and probably Nathan Read’s phone as well, will be November 26. After rudely asking Alan Jackson to take the red eye in order to accommodate her, a December 12 hearing was granted to voir dire Dr. Russell (again).

I still am unsure why Hank Brennan is doing this for only $75K, but I’m more convinced than ever it’s because he’s a natural defense attorney, and in this case he feels like he’s been hired to defend the government itself. As for Adam Lally, I’ve never seen anything as emasculating as what he is being forced to sit through. Literally. He didn’t stand up once and speak today. He’s just there to carry Spanky Brennan’s stack of papers into court and make sure his coffee is made right.
