The second Karen Learn homicide trial has mainly come right down to an IQ take a look at.
She didn’t kill her boyfriend, BPD Officer John O’Keefe. She didn’t hit him along with her SUV, interval. So if Karen Learn didn’t strike him, clearly, she couldn’t have completed it intentionally.
If there was no automotive accident, it was neither homicide nor manslaughter. Not by Karen Learn, anyway.
Not responsible.
The one method you possibly can consider that Karen Learn really killed him is if you’re both very silly, very corrupt, otherwise you haven’t been paying consideration.
In fact protection legal professional Alan Jackson received’t say that to the jury in his closing. However he doesn’t have to. There are solely two phrases that the jury wants to think about.
“Cheap doubt.”
That’s to not say that the potbellied courthouse stooges of Norfolk County can’t rig the case. They did it final 12 months, in any case. Simply to quote one instance, bear in mind these verdict slips that had no field for the jurors to test off “Not Responsible?”
Relaxation assured that the hacks have been holding shut tabs on which jurors’ facial expressions point out that they aren’t shopping for the persecution’s kangaroo-court bait-and-switches.
These jurors shall be dismissed very first thing within the morning. They’re all going to be alternates, depend on it. Simply the luck of the draw, the bouncing balls, and thanks to your companies, suckers….
Karen Learn’s legal professionals might complain, however they know higher. We’re not in America, we’re in Norfolk County.
Nonetheless, although, I feel that this time, DA Meatball Morrissey’s necktie social gathering shouldn’t be going to pan out for him.
Regardless of the claims of the preposterous Baghdad Bobs on TV (at the least one among whom is pocketing a hack state pension of $156,281 a 12 months), the persecution produced no actual proof.
Aside from these 46 items of damaged taillight – wink wink nudge nudge.
So what if the cop who “discovered” most of them was busted for soliciting items from a few of his fellow native townies.
This isn’t to say that you may’t body someone for homicide in Massachusetts. It’s been completed earlier than, in Chelsea, by the FBI. 4 harmless guys railroaded, two despatched to Demise Row. Two died in jail after 30 years. Certainly one of them wasn’t even within the state when the homicide occurred.
There was an much more latest homicide frame-up in Norfolk County. The cops did it as a favor for Whitey Bulger, the serial killer who was represented at his personal trial by Hank Brennan, the petulant fraud now making an attempt to railroad Karen Learn.
However now it appears even Hank Brennan, as rotten a human being as he’s, is aware of that he’s misplaced this one. You may see it Wednesday, with the final protection witness, Dr. Andrew Rentschler. Rentschler is an actual scientist, initially employed by the FBI and provided as a witness to the prosecution, however they didn’t need him.
They most popular to border Karen Learn. They wanted a patsy, to guard their friends.
So DA Meatball Morrissey went out and employed his personal “knowledgeable,” a man who’s spent 17 years making an attempt to get his bachelor’s diploma, and mendacity about already having it. Price the taxpayers $400,000, on prime of Brennan’s $250,000.
Brennan had nothing to shake Dr. Rentschler’s testimony, so he began asking him about an earlier go to he’d made to Massachusetts, and what he’s had for lunch.
“I had a ham sandwich.”
Brennan let that beautiful reality sink in for a second or two earlier than zeroing in. This was his Perry Mason second.
“Whenever you sat on the desk and ate did you simply eat your ham sandwich or did extra go on?”
Did extra go on? , like a gentle drink or espresso? Or perhaps potato chips – common or barbecue? Did you order the ham on white, entire wheat or rye?
“How lengthy,” Brennan continued, “had been you on the desk consuming your ham sandwich?”
“How lengthy’s it take you to eat a ham sandwich?” the FBI witness replied. “Ten minutes?”
Brennan was having none of it.
“And after you completed your…” Pause. “… ham sandwich and also you informed us you stood and within the nook, you bought a experience again to the airport.”
Nicely, there it’s. E-book him Danu.
A couple of minutes later, Brennan introduced that he’d modified his plans and wouldn’t be calling any rebuttal witnesses. It was like Roberto Duran moaning, “No mas!” He was chucking up the sponge.
Brennan couldn’t even deliver himself to deal with the back-and-forth with the protection and the judges over the jury expenses. As a substitute, he left it to his minion, Adam Lally, the chain-smoking unhappy sack prosecutor who dealt with the primary miscarriage of justice final summer season.
Lally makes $149,350 a 12 months. He retains his job the old school method. Since 2010, he’s given money to his boss Meatball Morrissey on 16 separate events, for a complete of $1,750.
Lally’s job was to cease any mentions of the vicious canine, Chloe/Cora. That now-missing German shepherd figured considerably in testimony in regards to the “animal bites” on the sufferer’s arm that Brennan claimed had been made by these mysterious items of taillight.
Regardless of using the pine all these weeks, Lally got here off the bench in mid-season kind. All dialogue assured verbatim:
“I might remind the court docket that there’s completely no proof none uh not even a scintilla of proof of a canine. There is no such thing as a proof of an absence of a canine. You could have Ms. McCabe testifying that she didn’t see it within the morning, which doesn’t equate to there being an absence of a canine there.”
Could we quote you on that, Mr. Lally?
By the best way, Mr. Lally, is that this the identical Jen McCabe who when requested her identify by the FBI, replied “Nicole Albert?” And who then after fleeing the G-men, later lied to them about what number of of her co-conspirators, er pals, that she had known as after being stunned by the feds.
Very regular conduct by individuals who don’t have anything to cover, proper?
But it surely’s virtually over now, this second tried lynching of Karen Learn.
Please God, don’t let the hackerama repair the jury once more. After she’s acquitted, we will all take pleasure in a celebratory dinner.
Ham sandwiches throughout!
