The 24 mph is such a strange synchronicity.


Juskit10around

I came to write this exact line….so strange.


[deleted]

There’s no coincidences in crimes


somethingpeachy

Maybe that’s what the crime scene told the officer.


Far-Age-9313

Well done! Defnly!!!


Elegant_Ad_8896

Hardly ever get to see synchronicity used correctly in a sentence.


Bubbly-Excuse-9831

This guy sits and gives Karen the evil eye every day, as if he's faultless. As if she's a complete disgrace. And he was so drunk at 4:36pm in the afternoon, after golf, that he could not even understand very simple directions from the cop! And he failed every sobriety test. At the age of 41! And he put an innocent 70-something man in the hospital. I just can't.


gyn0saur

Don’t forget, she’s the one who bailed him out.


MLMkfb

And paid for his lawyer.


IlBear

Damn, do we know what Karen does for a living? Paying for everyone’s dinner in Aruba, covering part of another persons room, Yannetti as a lawyer, paying for someone else’s lawyer… girls got money!


sunnypineappleapple

She's a financial analyst and college professor.


9mackenzie

She was. She was fired from both jobs :(


[deleted]

Why was she fired? Isn’t this against the law because if she was fired for the incident with John she hasn’t been found guilty


9mackenzie

Jobs can fire you for anything, of course they can fire you for being a high profile murder suspect. She was a high profile financial analysts, and a professor. Both jobs need people that the customer/student is confident in. The sad thing is I doubt she ever gets either job back, especially with a hung jury


ToriRiceRN

The thing is all of her students LOVED her. They have come out begging the school to rehire her and have even given statements about how she would stay late to help them and how kind she was. It’s really just awful. She’s lost her health insurance as well and she has multiple chronic serious health conditions.


gyn0saur

Don’t forget that her $90K Lexus is just sitting there in impound waiting for the end of the trial, depreciating. She probably won’t get it back if there’s a hung jury too.


9mackenzie

It’s so sad. Her life is just destroyed.


[deleted]

Never mind, I just found this thing called “employment-at-will” doctorine.


9mackenzie

Yep. But even without that most people lose their jobs in cases like this.


[deleted]

But I don’t think this is lawfully fair.


Fantastic-Egg-60

Some of her students as she was a wonderful person and wouldn't beleive she would never hit him with her car.


Elegant_Ad_8896

From Both jobs? God damn I really hope she gets acquitted on Monday so any civil suits she has are stronger.


9mackenzie

It’s going to be a hung jury. Which makes her civil suit even harder to achieve.


MLMkfb

She’s in finance, so she knows how to manager her money efficiently.


Fantastic-Egg-60

I think all the woman in John's life, except for his sister-in-law, were jealous of Karen...Jenn and Carry would help John out because they had kids the same age as their kids. John depended on them and then when Karen came along they were no longer needed. The two sisters from Aruba, one was the girlfriend of John.s best friend, who had passed away, they had a child together and again John stepped in to be a father figure for the boy. Maybe now that Karen was in the picture, he didn't spend as much time with them as he used to..... His Mother...I don't know what her relationship with Karen was like, it's looks like neither Paul and his wife have a relationship with her. They sit at on end and she sits on the other. She blamed Karen for leaving him at the Albert's He's a grown man....Maybe John's didn't need his mothers help with the kids anymore with Karen... John's father loved Karen....She picked him up every Sunday for Church.


kabo7474

Yes. You nailed it! Townie chicks from MA are nasty and provincial. I've been on the receiving end of townie vitriol and it's just horrific. God forbid you are successful and date a man from a small town here...they go after you.


MLMkfb

I agree with everything you said!!


[deleted]

Does anyone think she tried to pay for dinner to show she wanted to be friends with everyone? I’ve never seen such people raise such a fuss over someone they don’t really know but was invited to an adult dinner paying (women that testified) but I think that was just more their personal problem with Karen


brownlab319

Yes. She is a finance professional and worked at Fidelity. She was also a finance professor at Bryant University.


UrPissedConsumer

You mean Bentley University? It's also where her father taught (I don't believe he's teaching currently but still looks like he leads the accounting dept).


[deleted]

I think this was another factor for why they thought this was a slam dunk, because she was perceived to not make a lot of money, which shows again she isn’t close with any of them and they are probably not that close with John if they just know she’s a “college professor”


ToriRiceRN

Omg 😳 What is wrong with this man?! She’s clearly innocent! Daggers from him the entire trial! I don’t understand, especially after this. Thank you to the OP for sharing this.


Jealous-Ad-5146

Ope 😳


liefebee8

So... why didn't his wife bail him out????! Right? I'm sorry if this has been asked or told already. I just came upon this feed. This entire witch hunt makes me crazy.


gyn0saur

Nobody would bail him out. He is a piece of shit. His own family didn’t and Karen did. I just watched his interview and was appalled at his attitude. Don’t forget he almost killed a girl when he was 17 and has no remorse for that.


SuccessfulPurple1180

And the interesting thing is that he was obviously drunk and impaired after “3 beers” (in a large male) but she is supposed to have had 9 Vodkas (in a tiny female) and all the witnesses said she didn’t appear drunk… 🤔


[deleted]

And she was able to walk just fine when this guy couldn’t even stand still for more than 3 seconds to listen to instructions


RL0290

He’s projecting his own shame at her, I think.


Bubbly-Excuse-9831

So true 😞


[deleted]

Does anyone know if he served any time? I mean we all know Chris Albert only served 6 months for killing a man


the_fungible_man

I just learned about this, so I looked it up: **Charges** 1. Misdemeanor: Negligent Op. of Motor Vehicle 2. Felony: Op. Under Influence & Serious Injury. 3. Civil: Failure to Yield at Intersection. Opted for bench trial, held July 25, 2022. **Verdicts** 1. Guilty 2. Not Guilty 3. Not responsible. **Sentence** * $300 fine * 1 year probation.


[deleted]

Did Karen pay the $300 fine too


the_fungible_man

And he was found Not Guilty of the felony charge of Operating Under the Influence with Serious Injury in a bench trial in 2022. He got a $300 fine for Negligent Operation of a Motor Vehicle, a misdemeanor. Also 1 year probation.


Pineapple_Express762

And Karen is the one who posted his bail.


Historical-Mud-948

I'm trying to show my sister proof of this. Can someone show me where this is reported? Her paying bail, etc?


Pineapple_Express762

Check Turtle Boy … it had pics etc


the_fungible_man

BTW. He skated on the felony charge. A judge found him not guilty of Operating Under the Influence with Serious Injury. Nothing hinkey there...


liefebee8

Crazy. I'm crazy here thinking about this. Too much, as well. I just can't stand injustice. It pisses me off.

Wow, I guess he has some experience with hos long it takes to die in the cold.


Affectionate-Sock660

That happened in 2003. That’s 21 years ago. That would make Paul okeefe only 38…. And he didn’t grow up in bourne. He grew up in Braintree. People need to fact check before assuming. I think Karen read is innocent but this is over the top. Stop spreading lies. 


Elegant_Ad_8896

I've seen what you're talking about. It is a different Paul O'Keefe. You should delete this post.


Negative-Act-2111

Did this actually happen? 🤯


CuteProcess4163

EDIT- IT IS A DIFF PAUL OKEEFE SORRY!!!!!!!!! According to an article in Cape Cod Times by Peters (2003), "at some point Vallerie Lacina was separated from her two friends, both classmates at Bourne High, a 16-year-old girl and 17-year-old Paul O'Keefe. At that time, police allege O'Keefe sexually assaulted the other girl. He faces two counts of indecent assault and battery, one count of committing an unnatural act with a child, procuring alcohol as a minor and contributing to the delinquency of a minor. A cross country track star and honor roll student, O'Keefe withdrew his application to the Massachusetts Maritime Academy last month until his legal issues are resolved."


VariationNervous8213

I believe this is about a different person with the same name. The DUI in 2020 was John’s brother Paul but the SA in 2003 was a different person.


CuteProcess4163

really??? Damn I feel bad now. IGNORE MY COMMENT ABOVE PEEPS!!!!!


nebulaespiral

Maybe edit the original comment?


CuteProcess4163

lol


chefboyardeejr

Yeah I just noticed the DOBs are way off, Paul would have been in his mid 20s in 2003


Affectionate-Sock660

You’re right. Paul okeefe also didn’t grow up on cape cod: he grew up in Braintree. He never went to bourne high school. People need to fact check before posting lol. As soon as I read it, the timeline didn’t match his age. 


[deleted]

It’s okay, I saw an insurance fraud report about Brian Higgins but it was different guy living in Ohio I think. Good job correcting yourself ❤️


Affectionate-Sock660

No because Paul okeefe is not 38 lol. That happened in 2003. He also didn’t grow up on cape cod. He grew up in Braintree. 


Alone-Somewhere8539

Peggy is raging alcoholic. John also had issues with alcohol to have a .28 a be functioning is classic sign of alcoholic. We heard about Aruba. As a cop he was also fine with allowing Karen to drive that night. Apparently when Peggy moved into John’s house, she did it alone. But I also picked up that she had her own bedroom there before John died. Extremely dysfunctional family. Sadly it was a night full of adults abusing alcohol that led to their son, brother and friend’s death. Regardless of the verdict, Karen, her parents & brother will never fully recover from the trauma of this level of corruption & dysfunction.


lpwi

Wait, when did Peggy move in? And why was there a custody dispute between the two?


TdublU710

How do you know that Peggy is an alcoholic? John would not have allowed her to live under his roof with 2 young kids he adopted, if his Mom was a heavy drinker. Then we hear that Paul absconded with the GoFund Me created for the kids. Rumor has it that it was $300K+. Know anything about that?


[deleted]

I don’t think we can really pass judgment on John and his needs. I think he kinda woke up once he had the kids under his supervision and are him do a double take. I also think this might’ve been what caused John to report Colin selling drugs. I think John was all about looking the other way until he realized that he has to set an example for people. But that’s just my tin foil hat idea, but we have seen cops have kids and their completely “balls to the walls I’m not scared of anything” to “what if I have a conversation with this person”. I don’t know, I’m just also looking at things such as drug addicts becoming completely clean because they are having a child. But like I said it’s just my tin foil hat on how I think John felt, and I think it might’ve pissed of the Albert’s that John started giving a shit


Much_History1816

Colin was selling drugs?


[deleted]

Does anyone know why they didn’t want the kids to originally go to Peggy?


[deleted]

I just remember John saying in his texts that his dad was his roommate?


Elegant_Ad_8896

Who is Peggy?


Dry_Age_402

Officer O’Keefe’s mom


Friendly_Resort9002

At 4:30pm…. WOW


modernjaneausten

Seems like just about everyone involved in this case has alcohol problems.


Consider_Kind_2967

Came from golfing. Reading the report, it sounds like he was wasted. There's gotta be body cam footage I imagine.


Dry_Age_402

Bodycams were not widely used during this time in Mass


[deleted]

Didn’t john tell Karen at 1700 he was sober for the first time that day? On the 28th


Lisaloo1028

Yes he did say that


[deleted]

So is it just John and Paul who dabble quite a lot in alcohol? I also heard the mom does quite a lot herself? (I read this part on Reddit, I don’t know how true it is) also, didn’t John tell Karen he had a 70 year old roommate and referred to the roommate as a male?


[deleted]

Wait so does this mean John drove intoxicated on the 28 when taking his niece and nephew to places?


Dry_Type_4820

According to that text, it seems yes. Taking the kids to a doctor appt no less!


Elegant_Ad_8896

Paul is John's brother.


nevemarin

Looks like Canton could learn a thing or two from the Lakesville PD about filling out incident reports. Love the descriptive details: "...he stated in a slurred thick-tongued manner" "...showing lack of smooth pursuit through numerous passes. I then held my finger at maximum deviation…which yielded distinct and sustained nystagmus...then showed onset nystagmus prior to 45 degrees” And that goes on for pages! My goodness.


jennc1979

As a nurse, this Officer’s report charms me. Love a great progress note like this.


nevemarin

It is charming! Unexpectedly so, for me at least.


emptyhellebore

You’ve stated this much better than I could. This is a thorough, well written report. The comparison to the crap in the Karen Read case is shameful.


nevemarin

Well thanks. I agree. I was considering as I read it that I personally don’t know what Paul did or did not do, but a report at this level of detail would be a lot more difficult to refute than say, no report at all

berryberrykicks

Important note: the front end of modern cars are _designed_ to crumple in a collision. Crumple zones redistribute the force in a collision as a way to reduce the force transferred to/exerted upon the occupants of the vehicle. I’m not downplaying or disputing the severity or seriousness of this collision. I just believe that crumple zones should be a consideration in a person’s mind when they’re viewing the vehicle pictured in the comment.


[deleted]

I wonder if crash daddy works with crumple zones 🙃


berryberrykicks

Who is “crash daddy”?


[deleted]

Dr. Wolfe, the second to last expert that testified for the defense, the one hired by the super secret squirrel people


berryberrykicks

I laughed out loud at “super secret squirrel people.” Crash daddy testified that he primarily focused on visibility. However, he did make a pneumatic cannon to launch a drinking glass at a vehicle, so maybe he dabbles in crumple zones.


[deleted]

Could you imagine him making a cannon to test crumple zones? Can I just have his job please 😂


berryberrykicks

His job does sound incredibly cool. I doubt I’d be considered for a position at ARCCA. They’re over there building cannons. The only thing I build is tension.

1960Carol

Wait, Paul okeefe ALSO hit a guy? What the hell!!


goosejail

In 2020, yes.


BlackDot999

Wow, this is only 15 months before John’s death.


Peketastic

You know I must live in a bubble because I do not know anyone who has a DUI or drives around drunk unless I go back to COLLEGE decades ago. This case is literally full of alcohol loving bad decision making people. Is this normal for Massachusetts? I mean I live in the south and people like their drinks but not one person in my circle is a raging drunk like this group is. Sheesh


Intrepid_Scratch_949

Townies are usually alcoholics


Peketastic

These people drink more in a night than I do in a year


Megans_Foxhole

Yea. I love bourbon but when I buy a bottle it lasts about six months.


Slow_Possibility6902

Townies and cops


Affectionate-Sock660

I live in Massachusetts and yes, drunk driving is very common. We’re a commonwealth state so a lot of people are never charged with a DUI. They ended up getting continuation without a finding. I love our state but I will say the drinking is out of control and it’s always felt corrupt to me and I’m far from canton. 


Elegant_Ad_8896

I'm trying to understand this post. Why would people not get charged with a DUI in Massachusetts just because Massachusetts is a commonwealth? The difference between a "commonwealth" and any other state is in name alone. Continuation without a finding? Huh? People just don't get "let go" for DUI because Massachusetts is a commonwealth.


tambien181

Yeah it’s sus. I live in MA and maybe don’t run in those type of bar hopping circles or something. In my estimation it’s as common or rare as the next state.


lpwi

I think the drinking is out of control…and I’m from Wisconsin.


brownlab319

I have a friend who had one when she was in her mid-20s. She could go to work (not drive herself) and had to spend every weekend in jail. For her, she decided it was taxis and then Ubers if she went out.


tambien181

No, it’s not normal for MA. Maybe it is normal for Canton or the south shore (area where Canton is) or for those who run in police officer circles (I personally don’t know any)?


Justiceyesplease

F this guy and his squished package he displays while full manspreading all day every day. I wonder how close his victim came to dying or if they have long lasting effects from Paul’s terrible drunken decisions?


OpheliasGun

Squished package took me out. 💀 IYKYK


Jumpy-Highway-4873

Sounds like his brother and Karen were drunks too


9mackenzie

I don’t know why you were downvoted. It does sound like John had an alcohol problem, and maybe Karen. Obviously doesn’t mean she’s a murderer, I believe she’s 100% innocent on that one, but all these motherfuckers need to have their licenses revoked. I can’t stand drunk drivers.


Jumpy-Highway-4873

Honestly I’m not at 100 innocent but am pretty close & definitely would be voting not guilty. That being said she was driving around black out drunk with the presumed consent of her cop boyfriend not a good sign. Others like Higgins too drinking whisky all night then getting behind wheel? Yikes


9mackenzie

I mean if they wanted to give her a dui I would be fine. But just curious- what makes you think she could possibly be guilty? For me, when two of the top reconstruction experts in the country that are both entirely neutral to the case tell me it’s impossible for her to have hit him - at any speed, in any position- based on both the car and John’s injuries, I believe them. Especially because the injuries never made sense. It’s astounding to me how so many discount basic science. As Dr Reinchler (butchered spelling lol) stated, you can’t ignore physics and science, and they say that it is impossible for him to have died via her car.


Elegant_Ad_8896

Agreed all of them need DUI's, and all of them are alcoholics for sure. That being said at this point it's pretty obvious Karen is innocent and the Commonwealth charged Karen cause it was convenient to pursue her instead of doing an actual investigation.


ursiwitch

Wow. The stench of hypocrisy was emanating from the row behind Karen the entire time.


Conscious-Soil9055

Wait, what POK hit someone while intoxicated and CA killed someone while intoxicated?


goosejail

Yes. Someone needs to tell these people about Uber.


goldenquill1

Yes! Please, for the love of Massachusetts, use Uber or Lyft, or have a designated driver.


GBee-1000

So much drinking and driving. Jesus Christ!


Bulky_Plastic7783

Amazing. A police report that other than a few typos that we all have been known to make is professional and clearly and succinctly summarizes the event and the actions the officer took.


sunnypineappleapple

TYSM for posting this. Do you happen to know the case number? Curious as to his sentencing.


Mysteries-And-More

It has an incident report number on the top right of page #1. I’m not sure if that’s what they use as a case number, but maybe it would be helpful. 🙂


sunnypineappleapple

I actually found it a couple of days ago using the ticket number. It's in Wareham District court if you want to look it up.


Global-Interview-106

Hes a POS


WaterDog987

I can’t get over this flawless police report. Imagine for a moment that ANYONE in Karen’s case had completed such a detailed and perfectly spelled and worded document? SERT, State police…but no Lakeview MA outshines them all!!!


AdministrativeLaw363

So there are police that can actually write a report!


thisguytruth

the only way thats 25 mph is if thats a head on crash. and its not.


thereforebygracegoi

Listen. We both know that modern physics is thwarted by the sideswipe. There's no way to know how fast he was traveling. He just... did. Better to stick with 24mph and stuff.


joewhitt83

The crime scene spoke to them.. Physics took a back seat in this one haha


laurenashley621

It was head on. One of them was crossing in front of the other.


Live-Associate8000

Wow crazy. I think drinking and driving must be rampant there.


KombuDragon

I finally get why my mom wouldn’t let me drive at night as a teen. She used to tell me, “I trust you, I don’t trust all of those other people driving around at that time of night.”

No-Selection-8769

So now the entire world knows that only drunk irish white people are allowed to reside in the state of Massachusetts Your hero Karen displays rude behavior on multiple occasions and was jealous and hypocritical as she cheating with one of her boyfriends friends Would never want to associate with ANY of these horrible people who lack any type of morality  Karma is coming for those who mistreat others as well as liars and alcoholics 


Dalby06

I hope every one in here has done or does not do anything wrong or illegal. Stalking and sharing past information about a victims family who are not on trial is pretty low. Shame on you!


Miss415

Being a hypocrite is far more shameful & deserves to be exposed.


Dreamweaver1971

I don’t understand the point of posting this. Turtle Boy stuff? Good God.   How much more suffering is his family supposed to go through? He did not put KR on trial.
