"Hos Long To Die In Cold?

 

 I have not been glued to the Karen Read Trial the second time around. If you aren't familiar with the story, here's the long story, short.

A bunch of friends, mostly Boston police officers and their partners went out drinking one winter night. They all were extremely intoxicated but being Boston cops they decided laws don't apply to them, so they all got in their vehicles and either drove home or headed over to the Albert's house for more drinking. Karen Read, who the close knit group never liked, was dating John O'Keefe, a BPO. Karen dropped John off at the Albert residence and drove home. 

The next morning, Karen comes back, looking for John, who is found lying on the front lawn of the Albert home, covered in snow, and dying. He died at hospital a short time later, the cause of death was hypothermia. Karen is being charged with second degree murder. She claims she is being framed. Well, is that a possibility?

The Albert's used to have a dog. He was there the night of the party. He was rehomed soon after, like next day after. A beloved part of the family for seven years removed after John's death.

After John was found one cop used a snowblower, to what, wipe away evidence? 

Nearly every cop involved in the investigation gets rid of their phones. 

According to phone texts, Jen McCabe googled, "Hos long does it take to die in cold," at 2:27 am, hours before O'keefe was found.

The injuries O'Keefe sustained do not match up with a vehicle hitting him, in fact, one forensic scientist suggests the injuries on his arm are from a dog biting him.

The morning John was found and Karen is screaming outside, the Alberts never go outside.

Then we have this text. Oh, they love to text . This one is from Matt McCabe.

"Tell them the guy never went in the house."

The guy? I thought he was a great friend, and yet you call him, the guy? And why do you need to say that?

Because that's the other theory. After Karen dropped John off, he went inside the house. Remember, everyone is blitzed. People become assholes and there may have been a fight, the dog getting its bites in as well. Then O'keefe leaves the party, injured, drunk and hurt, where he collapses and lies on the front lawn for hours.

Beyond a reasonable doubt. Isn't that still the standard?

She certainly could have hit him. They were fighting. She left him horrible text messages throughout the evening, telling him she hated him.

Yet, if you think you might have killed someone, do you text them vile messages? 

Doubt, doubt, doubt.
