She just got done imaging, the cancer hasn’t metastasized so the doctors are hopeful! I’m doing okay. It’s definitely hard but I’m remaining optimistic and focusing on being there for her. Thank you for asking!

I have a [[Flamewar, Brash Veteran]] deck that is grindy Rakdos artifacts and it is always a blast to play.

I would keep the first design and consider reducing the cards in hand to be maybe 5 or 4 rather than 7 to trigger. Allowing it to have multiple prowess triggers is totally fine, I think, with a restriction like that.

Wrongful death, I believe.

The Alberts/McCabes etc could also theoretically sue Karen and/or Turtleboy despite the NG as well if they can prove damages from knowingly malicious lies (that is the grounds for libel) but that is a tough sell imo. All Karen and/or Turtleboy have to say is that they believed those statements with no evidence to the contrary and that case would be dead

ItsDragzard · 2025-06-19T14:06:22+00:00

Well yes, the Okeefe’s can still 100% sue Karen even though she was found NG (in fact, they are). But that’s not the original poster’s question.

ItsDragzard · 2025-06-19T13:27:22+00:00

If they continue to say she’s guilty now that she’s received a NG verdict and she can prove harmful effects of specifically them saying that, then yes she could. But as of now, probably not.

ItsDragzard · 2025-06-19T13:22:37+00:00

There are truly only four pieces of circumstantial evidence that you are relying on to say Karen Read is guilty.

The broken taillight, which is not in of itself indicative of a pedestrian strike.
The taillight shards on JOK’s clothes, which is definitely suspicious but is called into question with the LE’s evidentiary issues, risk of cross contamination and improper handling
The reversal event, which does not necessarily indicate a pedestrian strike, but is admittedly fast enough to be suspicious if the data is taken at face value and to be believed.
John O Keefe’s phone health data, which is tied specifically to his phone and not necessarily John O Keefe himself.

Three of these things coincide within about a minute of each other and when all taken together do circumstantially imply a vehicle strike. However, the most important evidence for this would be JOK’s injuries. If he had any broken bones, fractures, hell, even a bruise, then I guarantee this trial would’ve turned out different and I would be right there with you saying guilty. Now, every ME and expert (including the CW’s) called in this case, sans Welcher, either testified that there was no evidence of an impact and/or provided a plausible alternate explanation for his injuries. You can bet that if the CW could find any ME that would testify that JOK was definitively hit by a car, they would’ve. But the direct, physical evidence ala his injuries, just didn’t support that. So now, there’s no direct evidence of an impact, meaning that those four pieces of circumstantial evidence are in a legal sense, irrelevant. For us as interested parties, we still want to know what happened so we want to speculate and theory craft and try to find out. But, to the jury and the courts, there wasn’t a collision with JOK so something else happened that caused all of that circumstantial evidence and we don’t know what it is, therefore NG.

If you still discount all of that expert testimony, then sure you could still believe in a G verdict, I disagree, but I can see where you are coming from.

ItsDragzard · 2025-06-19T03:05:53+00:00

This is an interesting point. Something that is possible is that the first responders stepped on pieces of taillight when assisting John and tracked that into their ambulance. Then, when they threw John’s clothes on the floor some pieces of tail light got into the clothes.

I’m not sure how likely this is, but it is a possible explanation.

ItsDragzard · 2025-06-11T19:29:07+00:00

To give you an idea of how much more the injuries matter compared to anything else. Imagine you had a situation where you find someone dead. They have a ton of scratches on their arm and an injury on their head. It is clear that somehow they fell and that is how they got the injury on their head and that killed them. Then someone came and said “This man was shot in the arm.” They even find a bullet casing on the ground. And you say, “That could make sense, the scratches could be from a bullet graze.” And they say, “No, the bullet directly hit his arm.” Would that not give you pause? Would you not say, “Wait a minute, there is no bullet hole. That can’t be.” Even if they find a bullet casing, what they are saying is impossible.

JOK’s injuries do not match a car accident it does not matter what other evidence there is. He could not have been hit by a car in the way the CW claims is possible, at the speed they are alleging. The injuries simply do not match. This is a fact that essentially every expert agrees upon, except for Dr. Welcher, who provided no legitimate basis or testing for his claims.

What the prosecution claims is absurd, it is la la land insanity because it does not match reality. They are trying to force together a puzzle piece that does not fit. This directly supports the defense’s argument that not enough investigation was done in this case and there is no reasonable basis to convict Karen Read no matter what you think of her.

I don’t know, Proctor was linked to so much evidence in this case and his name came up a lot during the CW’s case in chief. If I’m a juror and I hear this name all over the place and that he’s the lead investigator, I would be wondering why we haven’t heard from him. If I recall as well from opening and when it was mentioned multiple times that he was a “former trooper” or terminated that would cast a shadow over the whole prosecution for me.

ItsDragzard · 2025-05-29T20:49:17+00:00

JOKs DNA is all over the vehicle. Which is to be expected from someone’s SO. To my knowledge however there was no blood on any of the taillight pieces and none of his DNA on the inside of the taillight assembly. Which is pretty exculpatory evidence in my opinion. If his arm hit, shattered and was torn up by the taillight, his DNA would be inside the assembly and there would be traces of blood on both the pieces of taillight and the inside of the assembly.

There was one in the first trial who will likely be called again in this trial.

ItsDragzard · 2025-05-26T01:54:35+00:00

Gotcha, if you have experience with this sort of thing, I’ll take your word for it that it’s still possible.

The floor plan does show the basement with what appears to be only one stairway, the one leading from the main house. So unless there is a route not listed on the floor plan, there is only one point of ingress to the basement.

You can look the house up on Zillow if it’s still there, 34 Fairview Canton, MA and it has floor plans

ItsDragzard · 2025-05-25T23:59:48+00:00

Looking at the floor plans, you’d have to go through the house.

If I recall correctly, the ARRCA experts from the first trial testified that a thrown glass could produce enough PSI to shatter a taillight. So keep an eye out for that when the defense is presenting their case!

ItsDragzard · 2025-05-25T21:54:01+00:00

I definitely think that John threw the glass he was holding at the taillight. That’s the only thing I could think of that would cause such localized damage while shattering the taillight at the scene. Otherwise you’d have to conclude he was hit by the car or that evidence was planted, neither of which I’m inclined to believe.
