We’ll walk through the key contradictions, the missing proof points, and the prosecutor’s surprising strategy that left many wondering if he accidentally made the defense’s case. We’re talking: Brennan’s boulder-off-a-bridge analogy 👀 The “I hit him” vs “Did I hit him?” statements Why Jen McCabe suddenly became the villain The taillight evidence he didn’t trust… but wants the jury to And a whole lot of “we don’t know” from the Commonwealth’s side Let’s be honest—did Hank Brennan just crash his own case? 🎧 Listen now and let us know what you think.
