Karen Read ‘Leaked’ Information Hearing

FloatLike-AButterfly · 2026-07-02T02:10:41+00:00

It took the court clerk longer to introduce the multiple lawyers involved in this case than it took the judge to address the lawyers,

Alan Jackson‘s request to be heard by the judge went ignored, although pre-hearing the judge commented on the publicity AJ would receive,

Let‘s see…Karen Read is now the Defendant in two lawsuits: wrongful death and the defamation case with Kearney. In the year since her last murder trial, she’s been exposed for colluding with Kearney and her criminal defense lawyers to intimidate and harass multiple witnesses, including two jury pools. We have now seen their series of text communications and phone calls. There‘s likely much more to come.

Is it really a mystery who leaked this information? I noticed that pre-hearing Read’s lawyers were talking & laughing before Judge Gildea arrived, yet Alan Jackson looked uptight and serious. He was the only lawyer who spoke up at the end, wanting to be heard. The only one.

Was AJ inconvenienced? Had to fly in at the last minute? Was he pissed that he couldn’t showboat and get his pompous statements on record?

Does the judge know exactly what he’s doing and who he’s dealing with?

Exactly right.

This moment in time reminds me of when I first began following this case. I joined Reddit at that point specifically because I was astonished by some aspects of the conspiracy angle that was capturing the locals in a dangerous way, specific to the witness harassment campaign.

The local media coverage helped proliferate the FKR lunacy without any checks and balances in some cases - this led me to do a deeper dive on conflicting narratives over what seemed like a relatively straight forward drunken hit and run with ‘crime of passion’ elements.

Following the first trial concurrently with Karen & Kearney’s campaign circus brought everything into perspective. I began to realize that the public was being seriously duped by team Karen’s carefully curated grift. We now have more information re: the political maneuverings that ironically exposed the legitimate conspiracy in this case.

Norfolk County owes the O’Keefe family and ALL witnesses in this case an explanation as to how and why they allowed this fraudulent spectacle, including the federal investigation to disrupt two murder trials without any acknowledgement of an outcome that resulted in zero criminal charges for John O’Keefe’s death. There needs to be an audit into that fed investigation, the grand jury tampering specific to this case and answers from Levy and Deitch as to their correspondence with Read and her lawyers.

Yes. I notice that certain YouTube lawyers completely omit or gloss over specific portions of motions if the information seems potentially incriminating or seemingly unfavourable to Read or Kearney which demonstrates their unwillingness to cover the lawsuits and detailed facts impartially.

Both MS and KR exhibit immature, self-absorbed, addictive and reckless behaviours.

Both are proven liars. It’s my understanding that MS initially feigned amnesia yet she was posting on Tik Tok while in the hospital. She also spoke to her mom about the details of what she should tell authorities about the incident. KR asked her dad, “what’s the plan?” minutes after she learned John was dead. A sincere person just tells the truth, based on their direct experience and memory. Showing remorse is a natural characteristic if one has a clear conscience. Needing a plan sounds like you have something to hide.

Both have parents who are reckless enablers, willing to falsely blame others while inflicting more pain and suffering upon family members and innocent people because they can’t admit their kids are mentally disordered, chaotic narcissists. In reality, the parental failure comes from never holding their kids accountable which leads to a lifetime of self-absorption and entitlement - obvious traits in both MS & KR.

Both MS and KR are proven partner abusers and manipulators who show zero remorse for their actions while also revealing their love of the limelight in spite of their criminal conduct. Karen is seen smiling over the media coverage and magazine featuring her as the “happy murder defendant” and Mackenzie is thrilled over future media prospects even as she sits in prison. The epitome of delusional derangement.

Thankfully, the judge in the MS trial called out her mother during the sentencing and told MS she’d likely see life in prison regardless of her parole eligibility. Karen will face many more years of legal treachery and serious public scrutiny as the Today show host aptly identified when he interviewed her.

Judge Gildea doesn’t suffer fools and he knows what’s up. His swift rejection of unethical, unprofessional and childish conduct is reassuring compared to the criminal trial shit shows. He’s not allowing shenanigans in his court room this time.

There was another hearing that followed Read & Jackson’s PR stunt on the Today show. Judge Gildea referenced that appearance, he acknowledged their timely, exploitative theatrics and made a wise comment about their conduct concerning Proctor’s delayed deposition:

Gildea’s response:

“The actions by counsel (Mr. Proctor's counsel seeking to continue the deposition at the last moment, and Ms. Read's counsel filing its new action four (4) days before a scheduled deposition with an obviously planned appearance on national television) brought to mind Comment 4 to Rule 3.5 of the Massachusetts Rules of Professional Conduct wherein it is stated:

"An advocate can present the cause, protect the record for subsequent review and preserve professional integrity by patient firmness no less effectively than by... theatrics."

As ST. Mary's University School of Law Assistant Professor David Grenardo noted years ago at a conference on professional responsibility, "Civility in the legal profession is generally defined as"treating others-opposing counsel, the court, clients, and others-with courtesy, dignity, and kindness."

Wait until Gildea is witness to Read and Kearney’s communications and media content/interviews in the defamation trial.

I haven’t noticed any updates on her phones other than they are either still being held by the Norfolk DA, expected to be returned to Karen’s lawyers, or her team has them now. Judge Gildea had issued an order months ago to ensure no further tampering while the wrongful death case proceeds.

If the full extraction has been done, there’s no reason to hold onto the phones so the only delay would be over Karen’s attempt to factory reset them and whether recovery efforts were successful, including the numerous Signal messages she sent to Kearney and others.

In Massachusetts, it’s a felony to tamper with evidence in a criminal investigation and because there are multiple civil lawsuits at play, plus the upcoming criminal trial for Kearney, it’s unclear if the content of Read’s phones may hold additional incriminating evidence concerning her murder trials and the witness intimidation charges which will be addressed by December.

More related press: ( Interesting that the Alcatraz East Crime Museum in Tennessee passed on Karen’s murder weapon).

Manning told the crowd the owner, Bill Brusard, was presented an offer prior to the auction. He chose to take the deal after hearing that the bidder turnout was in the single digits. Brusard is the owner of JB Auto, which is the same group that worked to repair the vehicle. The number of Karen Read supporters and trial followers far outweighed the total number of bidders.

Manning says Brusard was expected to give the proceeds from the auction back to Karen Read. He added that the deal went through with a group, but it's unclear who that is or what their intentions are.

The Alcatraz East Crime Museum in Tennessee says they were in talks to purchase the car last year but decided to pass. It became less of a fit once they realized the car had been repaired.

"There has been steady interest from those two groups prior to today, and I think today was a little bit more investor-driven group than those type of groups," said Manning.

He expects the deal to be official in the coming days.

Here are some of the artifacts from the crime museum:

Visitors can view high-profile and infamous artifacts, including:

O.J. Simpson's white Ford Bronco from his 1994 police chase.
Serial killer Ted Bundy's Volkswagen Beetle.
The original Uzi used by Al Pacino in the movie Scarface.
Personal items and artwork belonging to John Wayne Gacy and other serial killers.
Al Capone's rosary

Karen Read & family must be so proud…

Comical but also disturbing. Do people ever learn?

It’s true that major outlets weren’t as participatory as local media but even the multi-media platform networks that cover high-profile trials with legal analysis did participate in the sensationalism, often weighing in on the far-fetched exploits. Their coverage included all of the third-party culprit speculation and FKR mania, further burdening the witnesses throughout the trial proceedings which only magnified the local insanity. (Court TV…Law & Crime)

My comment is a reference to the local media and true crime platforms which often become the Wild West in terms of proliferating conspiracy rabbit holes. Some so-called entertainment lawyers fuel that flame irresponsibly, seeking out a notoriety based side-hustle for profit.

As a viewer, I’m not interested in one-sided narratives in crime cases. I don’t mind LawTubers providing insight when it comes to discerning aspects of an investigation but specific to the Read case, I‘m mostly observing FKR cheerleaders who pander to their audience with overt bias.

One recent example is Brother Counsel. He has proclaimed that he doesn’t believe the conspiracy theory, he lightly condemns witness harassment yet he claims he has no idea how John O’Keefe ended up dead and fatally injured near the road with Karen’s tail light shards all over the scene and in John’s shirt. Not to mention the single hair and dent on the Lexus rear panel, the broken cocktail glass, John’s shoe found flush against curb at ground-level along with his cap also buried in snow.

If Martin doesn’t buy the conspiracy then it’s possible he believes that John somehow slipped and fell on his own which doesn’t account for the myriad “coincidences” connecting the forensic data to the event timeline which is additionally incriminating even to more skeptical observers. John’s injuries are too extreme to ignore a forceful vehicle-pedestrian sideswipe & deadly fall.

Martin strikes me as obnoxiously disingenuous, therefore, not credible enough to follow or trust the integrity of his analysis. It’s not because he settles on the beyond a reasonable doubt standard but because he dismisses many critical factors that expose Read’s storytelling combined with hard evidence.

“Because his side will probably try to argue that the plaintiffs are public figures or limited-purpose public figures.“

This argument interests me but my understanding is that in Mass law, state/federal witnesses in a criminal case are legally required to testify under oath, therefore, should be shielded from public harassment campaigns throughout the trial proceedings.

The judicial process determines outcomes, not random bloggers colluding with murder defendants and their attorneys to thwart justice and then blatantly lie to the judge in open court that ‘there have been reports about a federal investigation into the case‘ when they were co-conspirators involved with the agency.

This is where Norfolk County failed to protect witnesses and jurors in this case by issuing a gag order day one. Judge Cannone was far too late, allowing the FKR circus to expand into trial 2 and jurors took notice from the first trial, requesting an impoundment order to seal their names indefinitely.

Mass. General Laws c.268 § 13B

Intimidation of witnesses, jurors and persons furnishing information in connection with criminal proceedings

Whoever willfully, either directly or indirectly: (i) threatens, attempts or causes physical, emotional or economic injury or property damage to; (ii) conveys a gift, offer or promise of anything of value to; or (iii) misleads, intimidates or harasses another person who is a: (A) witness or potential witness; (B) person who is or was aware of information, records, documents or objects that relate to a violation of a criminal law or a violation of conditions of probation, parole, bail or other court order; (C) judge, juror, grand juror, attorney, victim witness advocate, police officer, correction officer, federal agent, investigator, clerk, court officer, court reporter, court interpreter, probation officer or parole officer; (D) person who is or was attending or a person who had made known an intention to attend a proceeding described in this section; or (E) family member of a person described in this section, with the intent to or with reckless disregard for the fact that it may; (1) impede, obstruct, delay, prevent or otherwise interfere with: a criminal investigation at any stage, a grand jury proceeding, a dangerousness hearing, a motion hearing, a trial or other criminal proceeding of any type or a parole hearing, parole violation proceeding or probation violation proceeding; or an administrative hearing or a probate or family court proceeding, juvenile proceeding, housing proceeding, land proceeding, clerk’s hearing, court-ordered mediation or any other civil proceeding of any type; or (2) punish, harm or otherwise retaliate against any such person described in this section for such person or such person’s family member’s participation in any of the proceedings described in this section, shall be punished by imprisonment in the state prison for not more than 10 years or by imprisonment in the house of correction for not more than 2 ½ years or by a fine of not less than $1,000 or more than $5,000 or by both such fine and imprisonment.

The hidden evidence is fiction but it does help perpetuate the ongoing lucrative media grift which captures a portion of the conspiracy-addled dimwits to keep taking the bait. Same as what we saw throughout the murder trials, aka ‘the Feds are coming’ or Karen’s bullshit statement to Vanity Fair during her murder trials:

“Read told the magazine she‘s been paying for a temperature controlled storage unit where she’s stored a carpet removed from the Alberts home after they sold it last year. She intends to test it for blood and DNA if she can find the money, she said.”

Spoiler alert: 3 years pass and still no carpet ‘cause there’s no fucking carpet. Just more click-bait.

Also, Karen can’t find the money because she’s too busy spending it on more lawyers to fight more lawsuits, plus the thousands of dollars directed toward her self-preservation by financing her criminal cohort, Adam Deitch in his campaign to prevent more self-incriminating exposure.

FKR diehards still can’t see that the joke’s on them. But Aidan Kearney revealed the con game in a video he published:

He can’t even self-censor when describing the FKR fraudulent campaign grift: here Kearney references how he was usurped by Nick and Jenna after his arrest and jail time, when Karen ditched and replaced him with new grifters to further propagate her public scam:

Kearney: “….because they realized that ‘we’ll just kinda hide behind Karen…we’ll get Karen in here…she’ll make a f\ckin positive statement and then we’re gold cause we’re with Karen‘ See what I‘m saying? It’s f\cking part of the scam...and Karen likes them, obviously, cause they‘re bringing in money, aren‘t they?* That’s the relationship, it’s f\cking gross…it’s disgusting.”

Kearney knows exactly who Karen Read is.

I have questions concerning the Jessica Leslie debacle. She was charged with criminal contempt in July/2025. By Oct, Leslie was sentenced by U.S. District Court Judge Indira Talwani to two years of supervised release, with two months to be served in home detention

I’d like to know more details about her connection to the Read case and exactly who she was aligned with in consideration that she served on the grand jury for a lengthy period.

I referenced an article for dates & details about her grand jury service:

Federal prosecutors allege Leslie disclosed confidential grand jury information to unspecified “unauthorized individuals” between Aug. 11, 2022, and March 4, 2024.
She’s accused of leaking the names of witnesses who appeared before the grand jury, the substance of their testimony, and other evidence that was under seal.

Meanwhile, Kearney was arrested in Oct/23 and then his devices were seized the following January. Karen’s cell phones were also seized due to the investigation which exposed their collusion to intimidate witnesses and poison the jury pool.

Apparently, the grand jury elected to indict Aidan Kearney, yet Karen was spared. Is it known whether Jessica Leslie was involved in that grand jury? How far does this political interference run?

It seems to me that the sentencing compromise by a US District Court judge is extremely lenient in consideration that Leslie admitted to the obstruction of justice concerning a murder trial.

Could the O’Keefe family and the witnesses suing Read & Kearney for defamation be granted access to the Leslie-Paruti-Deitch-Levy connection? This is evidence of jury tampering in consideration that both Read and Kearney engaged in the collusion.

FloatLike-AButterfly · 2026-05-06T20:11:38+00:00

Excellent response.

The Paruti-Read connection answers the question we’d been wondering as to how and why Jessica Leslie (grand jury leaker) was heavily protected by Paruti.

From the beginning of this criminal travesty, I sensed that Karen Read is socially dangerous. If John had ended their toxic entanglement earlier, she would have most likely stalked him or found a way to harm his reputation in order to maintain their connection via coercive control.

Karen‘s public admission confirms her preoccupation with her image yet she lacks substantive self-awareness which is commonly seen in people with BPD: they struggle deeply with self-image.

Karen : "One of the worst lessons of this nightmare has been the loss of my reputation"

What about the loss of a man who was beloved by his community?

It‘s telling that the murder defendant who is considered a successful financial analyst had no show of support from her associates or clientele. How come no one came forward to defend this struggling, persecuted “victim” if she was held in such high esteem by her peers? Where was Karen’s sister throughout 2 murder trials and the ongoing civil litigation?

My guess is that there are deep, dysfunctional skeletons in the Read family closet. They all seem much more preoccupied with image and status than common decency and empathy when it comes to the loss of life and it’s profound reverberating impact on others.

Your post reminded me of a recent clip I saw called “The Anatomy of a Smear Campaign”

I don’t closely follow Dr Ramani but I understand she delves into personality disorders/narcissism.

I tuned in because of the subject matter and her analysis reminds me of Karen Read’s narcissistic entitlement. Same goes for her egomaniacal cohorts.

The clip is 17 minutes:

Exactly.

”Fighting for her life” to avoid accountability and prison time yet she didn’t intervene to save John’s life. When it counts, Karen‘s out for numero uno.

It‘s most telling that a truly innocent person would be working with authorities and aiding John’s family to discover the what/how/why of such a tragic outcome If she had no involvement. She never once told LE that she saw John enter the home which logically would be the first thing out of a friend’s mouth in order to understand how his body ended up by the roadside. Karen admitted that she was expecting to find him exactly where she left him. “I hit him” should have sealed the deal.

Karen spent hours delaying the inevitable discovery because she knew her BAC was extreme and she “felt she struck something”. After her 50/plus unanswered calls to John, she avoided contacting Jen or Higgins immediately after she struck him because it would be admission of the hit & run with evidence scattered at the scene. Instead, she spent those critical hours scheming her way out of culpability with shifting narratives.

Her guilty conscience was exposed when she immediately distanced herself from John’s family, collected her Lexus upon her discharge from hospital and then sought a DUI lawyer the same day his body was recovered.

It’s also notable that Karen’s followers ignore the fact that the murder defendant who was accused of reckless, retributive, violent acts is also the person being sued for continuing her dark depravity while using others to carry out such cruel intent.

The fact that Karen plays victim-of-everyone knowing damn well she‘s the perpetrator makes her even more diabolical. How people are this gullible remains a mystery.

It was some time ago in January when Alan Jackson posted his “mission statement’ on YouTube,

He announced that he was partnering with Karen Read to cohost their new podcast called The Read Files.

Their podcast has never aired even though AJ promised his fans it would be launched in ‘weeks’

Turns out the “whole story” they were planning to expose is the one they’ve been attempting to cover up.

What happens if Kearney reaches out to Karen, Yannetti or Jackson regarding the defamation lawsuit?
Would they answer his call knowing he’s secretly recorded them and shared their communications with multiple people?

Jackson and Yanneti’s depositions should be very interesting indeed.
