Investigation Discovery's 3 part doc series premieres on Investigation Discovery on Monday March 17, time TBA, and will air over 3 consecutive nights

Read is accused of killing her boyfriend John O’Keefe, a local police officer. On a cold January morning in a sleepy suburb outside of the city, a local police officer named John O’Keefe was found dead on a fellow officer’s front lawn. Authorities, citing a toxic dynamic between O’Keefe and his girlfriend, Read, immediately narrowed in on Read as their main suspect. They alleged Read backed into O’Keefe with her car in a fit of passion and then left him to die in the snow – but Read maintains her innocence with her defense alleging something far more nefarious was at play.

So that was something...with cases like this I always go back to this: the simplest answer is usually the right one. The frame up would require way to many people to keep quiet. Karen said it herself she has no memory of what happened that night.

I'm surprised that there wasn't a gag order in place or something (with Karen intentionally leaking info to that social media dude). I also wonder if this special will end up backfiring on the defense. Wonder if there will be a change in venue request for the new trial or media blackout.

The snow plow drive...people have a bad habit of not seeing things right in front of them, especially if it is something that they don't expect to see. 

If it was true the the jury couldn't hear the chanting, then provided they informed the Judge, I'm surprised she didn't do anything about it.

Karen Read really seems like a very self-centered and obnoxious person. I'm thinking that she probably did hit John, but was too drunk to remember doing so. She claims that when she drinks, her memory is often compromised, but she does not have blackouts. I hate to tell her, but not remembering striking your boyfriend with your car while drunk would fall under the category of a blackout. 

I'm surprised that John was the only casualty that night with all those drunk people driving around in a blizzard.
