The aftermath of the Karen Learn homicide trials is beginning to remind me of what supposedly occurred to all of the looters who robbed King Tut’s tomb in Egypt greater than a century in the past.
The legend is that all of them died horrible, untimely deaths – due to the traditional curse of the pharaohs. Bear in mind all these mummy films?
It’s been lower than seven months since Karen Learn received her (second) not-guilty verdict. And her tormentors are all abruptly, painfully departing the scene or, on the very least, turning into ensnared in a single humiliation after one other.
Meatball Morrissey, Michael Proctor, the Canton selectmen, the Home Defendants, everyone within the Canton PD, BPD Commissioner Michael Cox, Sgt. Sean Goode, Kelly Dever….
Name it the Curse of Karen Learn.
And now the Curse is taking out events with solely tangential connections to the made-for-TV, ripped-from-the-headlines case.
The latest Karen Learn tormentor to go down is former Boston police sergeant Marty Kraft. His connection? He’s, or was, a non-public eye.
And sources say Kraft employed his former BPD pal Brian Albert after the useless physique appeared on Albert’s entrance garden at 34 Fairview Highway and so they all determined to pin it on the lady – Karen Learn.
Albert instantly retired, bought his home in Canton and fled. However he nonetheless wanted a job and there was his BFF Marty Kraft in his flourishing post-police profession as a p.i.
Now, nonetheless, the Curse of Karen Learn has reared its head as soon as extra. Marty Kraft, benefactor to the Home Defendants, has himself been struck down. The State Police have pulled his P.I.’s license. If you go to his web site, a giant message pops up:
“Kraft Investigations shouldn’t be accepting new circumstances right now.”
His license was not renewed after a slightly tawdry incident in Newburyport final July 2.
The native cops had been known as to a residence by the male home-owner, who was within the strategy of divorcing his spouse. When the 911 caller returned to his dwelling, his spouse wasn’t there.
However think about his shock when he found a fully-loaded Sig Sauer P938, “in his bed room, tucked underneath bedding.”
You solely get one guess who the firearm, in a hid leather-based holster, belonged to.
This from the Newburyport PD report:
“(The husband’s title, redacted) additionally pointed to intercourse toys on the mattress, which he claimed weren’t his. Mr. (redacted) suspects that (redacted) had friends on the residence. (Redacted) knowledgeable me that he found the intercourse toys underneath the mattress.”
A loaded firearm within the bed room? With a bunch of intercourse toys stuffed underneath the mattress? In a home occupied by somebody “well-known to the police division,” the cops having handled the proprietor “a complete of 75 instances from 2020 to current.”
Marty Kraft, age 71, you bought some ‘splainin’ to do!
By the way in which, Kraft lives in Mansfield. Karen Learn additionally owned a house in Mansfield, till she needed to promote it to pay her authorized payments. Humorous how the crooked cops at all times appeared to know who was stopping by Karen’s home. Simply sayin’….
Do you see now what I imply in regards to the Curse of Karen Learn?
As a Boston cop, Kraft was well-known, or perhaps notorious is the higher phrase, for at all times touchdown on his toes.
I pulled his BPD Officer Resume from Inside Affairs – 21 pages! At one level his father-in-law was Mickey Roache, the police commissioner, and he nonetheless received fired. (He received his job again).
Together with the police report, I’m going to put up his whole BPD resume at my web site, howiecarrshow.com. Fifteen of the 40 or so complaints in opposition to Kraft had been sustained. Lots of them had been from his fellow cops.
Right here’s a sampling of the complaints in opposition to Kraft, some sustained, some not:
“Sgt. Kraft used the time period, ‘I command you.’… Sgt. Ignored direct order and positioned his handcuffs on the suspect… Sgt. Kraft continued to shout and swear as he walked away from the realm… Referred to shoppers outdoors as ‘junkies’…. Kraft known as his place of employment telling the supervisor that he was a drug supplier. He was subsequently fired from his job.
“Kraft used extreme pressure upon his particular person slamming his head in opposition to the Plexiglass on the reserving desk… Sgt. Kraft started to verbally insult her… made racially insensitive feedback to him… Sgt. Kraft responded, ‘I don’t give a bleep about Inside Affairs. If you get there, inform them I mentioned bleep them.’”
And so forth. You possibly can see why he and Brian Albert had been so simpatico.
However in the long run, similar to Brian Albert, Kraft at all times skated, even after the numerous suspensions.
After discovering the gun among the many intercourse toys, the Newburyport Police charged Kraft with illegal storage of a firearm. In district courtroom, the clerk refused to problem a grievance, and Kraft’s run of luck appeared to be persevering with into his golden years.
However then the State Police stepped in and all of a sudden his p.i.’s license was not renewed. The MSP declined to touch upon the file why they yanked his ticket.
However I do know why they did it. It’s the Curse of Karen Learn.
However wait, it will get even weirder. Simply as Marty Kraft was dropping his license, guess who determined to get a P.I. license of his personal?
None aside from Brian Albert, Marty’s one-time employed hand.
As of October, Brian Albert grew to become the principal of his personal private-eye agency generally known as FEBA Consulting. Not an excellent title – he ought to have known as it “Butt Dials ‘R’ Us.” Or perhaps if he’d introduced in his butt-dialing buddy Brian Higgins, they may have known as it, “Jameson & Ginger LLC.”
In accordance with his license, Albert’s new company relies in Brockton, at 1342 Belmont Avenue, Suite 104.
Have you learnt who’s upstairs in that very same constructing, in Suite 203? None aside from the traditional lawyer Kevin Reddington, who has been a lawyer for none aside from… Jen McCabe, the dentally challenged witness in opposition to Karen Learn who lied repeatedly to the FBI, with out consequence.
What a coincidence, that one of many Home Defendants in Karen Learn’s civil swimsuit would arrange an workplace in the identical constructing because the lawyer for one of many different Home Defendants.
It doesn’t get way more Canton than that, does it?
I known as each Marty Kraft and Brian Albert for a remark. Neither of them returned my calls.
Not even a butt dial.
