A stormy evening in January 2022 begins as an innocent night out for drinks with friends for a local couple in Canton, Massachusetts. But by daybreak, Boston police officer John O’Keefe turns up under six feet of snow and his girlfriend, Karen Read, is immediately suspected of striking him with her SUV - leaving him for dead. As the investigation into John’s curious death unfurls, rumors of a police cover-up captivate the town of Canton and beyond. Is Karen Read being framed? This question soon begs answers from onlookers far and wide as Karen’s ten week trial is catapulted into the national spotlight. Law and Crime presents the most in-depth analysis to date of this sensational case – exploring the divisive theories and more by taking you behind the scenes of both the trial of Karen Read and the investigation into John O'Keefe's mysterious death in KAREN.

Can get tedious

They put clip highlights at the beginning of the pod then replay them over and over so you never know which is the “real” broadcast. Working through the story but it could have been done in 3 or 4 pods.
So Many Questions

First, I don’t understand all the low ratings. Seems sus. Second, this is a master class on defense and creating reasonable doubt. Third, it strikes me that there was an opportunity to check for canine dna in the lacerations. The human dna seems less likely to prove anything criminal than it does that the victim was in close contact with all of the possible suspects prior to his death, which was never in question. The dog however, if canine dna was found on his body, it would blow the whole case for the prosecution as it would show John had been in the house and therefore severely undermine the testimony of the occupants and what happened that night. Karen (such an unfortunate name now) could prove her innocence instead of just not being guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.
Probably the worst Law and Crime show

The glee that the presenter had in demonstrating the prosecution’s errors and shortcomings was palpable. Ms. Read should be obligated to pay Wondery as part of her PR team. I hope the jury got it right with their decision.
Biased?
6 days ago
Some of the other comments I saw about this being biased confuse me. Biased or not Proctor the LEAD INVESTIGATOR claiming that his “juvenile” comments did not affect the integrity of the case????? Discussing the case with family and friends in such an unprofessional way doesn’t affect the integrity. Mindset of police officers : we can do whatever we want and say whatever we want . Macho mysoginisitc men want to be cops. We all should be very very scared after listening to his “distasteful comments” that “don’t affect the integrity of the case. Way too much power for men who look for jobs like this . He is so comfortable saying these things this isn’t the first time he and his cocky police friends have discussed sensitive cases, victims, and suspects. Sadly this is happening all over the United States of America .
