The Trial Of Karen Read | Justice For John O'Keefe

Karen Read Trial: Expert Witness or Dog Whisperer or Courtroom Comedy Hour In one of the most unintentionally comedic moments of the Karen Read trial, the defense brought forward Dr. Marie Russell — a forensic pathologist who managed to raise more eyebrows than credibility. Her job? Sell the jury on the infamous "Dog Bite Theory" — the claim that John O’Keefe's injuries may not have come from being struck by a vehicle, but possibly by a German Shepherd. Unfortunately for the defense, what followed wasn't exactly expert testimony. It was more like forensic fan fiction. Dr. Russell admitted she never performed the autopsy, never examined the body, and based her opinion entirely on photographs and reports. Still, she boldly suggested that the bite patterns on O’Keefe’s arm and face might be from a dog — despite the lack of any documented canine DNA, puncture wounds, or, you know, bite marks consistent with an actual dog bite. Prosecutors quickly dismantled her conclusions, pointing out the speculative leaps, lack of peer-reviewed backing, and her refusal to definitively rule out a vehicular strike — the very thing the defense hopes to erase from the jury’s mind. This episode breaks down every bizarre moment of Dr. Russell’s performance on the stand, from her hesitations under cross to her reliance on hypotheticals instead of hard science. It’s a must-watch if you’re trying to understand how fragile the defense’s alternative theories have become — and how badly this one may have backfired. Is it expert analysis… or courtroom improv? Buckle in — because this testimony was less "Law & Order" and more "Whose Line Is It Anyway?" #KarenRead #JohnOKeefe #DogBiteTheory #DrMarieRussell #CourtroomFails #TrueCrime #HiddenKillers #ForensicFlop #KarenReadTrial #DefenseDesperation Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?  Check out our YouTube Channel. https://www.youtube.com/@hiddenkillerspod Instagram https://www.instagram.com/hiddenkillerspod/ Facebook https://www.facebook.com/hiddenkillerspod/ Tik-Tok https://www.tiktok.com/@hiddenkillerspod X Twitter https://x.com/tonybpod Listen Ad-Free On Apple Podcasts Here: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/true-crime-today-premium-plus-ad-free-advance-episode/id1705422872
