The prosecution of Karen Read in the death of John O’Keefe is one of the most fiercely debated cases in recent memory, resulting in a mistrial and retrial. Did she hit him with her car and leave him to freeze in the snow? Or was this a mere accident on a frigid January night outside of Boston? Look at the case from the eyes of the experts.
Joseph Scott Morgan is one of the top death investigators in the country. Bob Genna is a specialist in forensic vehicle analysis. Sheryl McCollum is a leading authority in crime scene investigation. And thriller and true crime author Chuck Hogan grew up a block away from the crime scene and has an insider perspective.
In this panel, sponsored by Hampton Jitney, these experts will explore the evidence, investigative decisions, and courtroom strategies that have fueled intense public debate and divided true crime audiences. Key questions surrounding the case will be explored, such as the role of the media and online communities, and how public perception can shape narratives around guilt and innocence. Through analysis and discussion, the panel asks a critical question: when a case becomes a national spectacle, is the outcome driven by justice or by judgment?
