Consciousness of Guilt What Karen Read May Have Admitted Before the Body Was Found
What someone says in a moment of panic can speak louder than any forensic expert. In this episode, we revisit the moment Karen Read allegedly asked “Did I hit him?” before John O’Keefe’s body was discovered — and what that reveals about her state of mind.
Former prosecutor Eric Faddis joins us to discuss the legal doctrine of consciousness of guilt and why Karen’s early comments might be more damaging than the defense admits. We analyze the timing of her remarks, her decision to point out a broken taillight, and the prosecution’s strategy to paint her panic as prior knowledge.
We also address how this moment — combined with the broader implausibility of the defense theory — could create a turning point for the jury. At what point does fear cross into foreknowledge?
This is the behavioral-legal intersection the trial may hinge on.
