Friends of the blog have commented that as this second trial is underway a lot of claims are evaporating in face of the evidence. "At this point it is a forensics case. Everything else is a creative writing assignment," and "sounds like people need to listen to the hard evidence and stop focusing on the fan fiction."
A local radio personality, Howie Carr, has gone completely starkers. I have liked him in the past. Organised crime boss Whitey Bulger tried to have him killed for his refusal to stop accusing him, and nearly succeeded. Howie has been been anti-Kennedy for decades and written a book about it. But he is convinced that Read has been framed by an extended collection of law enforcement agencies, neighbors, and townspeople for no apparent reason.
I suppose when you have been a victim of an actual conspiracy of powerful people (Bulger's brother was President of the Massachusetts Senate and then President of UMass) it is less of a stretch to believe in other conspiracies by the powerful.
Stay tuned.
Update: The defense has been attempting to try the case in the press instead of the courtroom, and claimed that John was assaulted by people in the house and left to freeze to death outside. Freezing to death would take a while. The information from the insurer of her SUV that she rapidly went into reverse at 27mph in a driveway was irrelevant because it took place much earlier than his death. Today this was entered in evidence: The second techstream event (the rapid reversal of Karen’s SUV) ended between 12:32:04 and 12:32:12. John’s phone stopped moving at 12:32:16. That can’t possibly be a coincidence.

My inside source from Canton says she's guilty and I think the evidence is pointing to that. The evidence for a conspiracy is non-existent.
