Topics
Blayne Alexander: 我认为Karen Reid案件非常引人关注，甚至对非犯罪或法庭案件感兴趣的人也对此案非常着迷。Karen Reid被指控在2022年1月的一个下雪夜晚，酒后倒车撞死了她的警察男友John O'Keefe，但Reid和她的支持者认为她是被陷害的，这是一起警察掩盖真相的阴谋。Andrea的最新一集节目讲述了在2024年第一次审判因陪审团无法达成一致而流审后，Reid的重审过程。Andrea在本期节目中分享了两个未播出片段，分别是对Proctor的采访和对John O'Keefe家人在宣判后的采访。 Andrea Canning: 我认为Karen Reid案收到了很多人的意见，并且有许多业余侦探参与其中。经过三年，两次审判，案件终于有了结果，宣判时我正好在马萨诸塞州。陪审团先是说有结果了，但后来又改变了主意。后来，我们得知确实有结果了，法院外聚集了许多Karen Reid的支持者，他们为Karen Reid欢呼，高呼“把Michael Proctor关起来”。除了OJ案，很少有案件能引起如此多的关注和分歧。现在的刑事案件越来越受到关注，而且两极分化严重。Karen Reid也收到了支持者的捐款，她需要钱来支付法律费用，她还有一场民事诉讼要打，有人给她送礼券让她买西装。

Shownotes Transcript

Blayne Alexander sits down with Andrea Canning to talk about her latest episode, “Center of the Storm.”  The 2024 trial of Karen Read garnered national attention as she fought allegations that in 2022, she drunkenly backed her SUV into her boyfriend, Boston police officer John O’Keefe, and left him to die in the snow. After the jury was unable to reach a verdict, the judge declared a mistrial.

This year, Read went back on trial and a new jury did deliver a verdict. Andrea tells Blayne what it was like at the courthouse when the verdict was read. She also discusses her interview with Michael Proctor, the former state trooper who the defense accused of having framed Read as part of a coverup. Plus, Andrea shares two podcast-exclusive clips: the first from her interview with Proctor, and the second from her interview with one of John O’Keefe’s family members after the verdict.
