"I hit him. I hit him. I hit him." A deep dive 🧵into one of the leading pieces of evidence against #KarenRead . I'm a paralegal and I treated this trial like one of my cases. The first thing I looked at is the claim Karen Read said she hit John O'Keefe. Here is what I found:

Full disclosure: I do not think #KarenRead is guilty. I don't know if I buy the defense theory 100% either. My take is more that we'll never know what happened that night because the police failed one of their own so miserably.

There were 13 people who interacted with Karen the morning of 1/29/22. Four said they heard her say "I hit him." A review of the testimony & reports shows these four may have some issues that could compromise their credibility.

1st is Firefighter Timothy Nuttall. He told Proctor on 2/8/22 that he heard this phrase. The problem is that he is as certain Karen said "I hit him" as he is that John was wearing a big puffy coat. As we know, there was no big puffy coat.

2nd is Firefighter Anthony Flematti. The first documented place he reported this phrase was on the stand at trial. He didn't put it in his report. He didn't notify the police. He didn't tell the ER staff. That info would be important to treating doctors, no? And to cops on scene.

3rd is Firefighter Katie McLaughlin. She says a cop heard Karen say it and said "Get Goode down here." Problem is no cop on scene heard it, no one got Goode down there and Goode didn't put it in a report or say it at trial. There's also the Albert connection and possible perjury.

4th is Jen McCabe. Despite her claims on the stand that she told Proctor and Lank on 1/29/22, it's not documented in their reports. At the state grand jury in April 2022, she phrased it as "Did I hit him?" 12 times and never uttered "I hit him." (Jen con't...)

In April 2023, the public learned of the "hos long to die in the cold" Google search and there was outrage in the community and she was targeted. Two months later, at the fed grand jury, is the first documented time McCabe attributed "I hit him" to Karen.
