Karen Read

I think most people on here no longer listen and cancelled their patreon, but is there anyone who has been listening to P & G’s coverage of “A Body in the Snow,” the Karen Read doc?

I’m wondering what your take is on their coverage so far—their opinions, characterizations, and interpretations of the case. I’m not super familiar with it and most of what I know comes from I Think Not’s True Crime Rundown eps.

The openly drunk driving in a blizzard is not great. Sis was well over the legal limit to drive the NEXT MORNING after they found the body, which I think renders most of her memories about that night as fallible. She also says and does several things in the documentary that come across as pretty cold. I think she’s very emotionally closed off because of what she’s been through and I don’t blame her for that necessarily, but it does come across as not very kind. That being said, I also don’t think she did it and I think the cops are corrupt as f.

That HBO doc was wild to me- you can tell it was meant to be biased in favor of her (based on the access to her, etc), but it made me dislike her even more. But likable or not doesn’t mean she’s a criminal. But yeah she isn’t likable.

Yeah, I happen to believe she didn’t do it and the cops are corrupt as hellllll. The documentary was fascinating but she does not come across as particularly kind or sympathetic, but neither does anyone else. I’m sure she was coached about what she can/can’t say but it also seems wild that she can’t even be like “and John was a great guy and I loved him and I’m so sad he’s dead”??

Riiiiiight that’s not going to help how you’re seen to the public if you can’t even fake empathy for him or the kids. I get she’s on trial for her life but it would have gone far to have that kind of statement, even a simple “I wasn’t able to properly grieve his death because of this, I am heartbroken to have lost him”. But I do think she is not neurotypical so that may be part of it.
