I'm not sure the snark is warranted. I can tell you that after my uncle passed away (of natural causes) my aunt was extremely distraught and making similar statements about not wanting to live anymore.

Note - I'm not saying you're wrong. It's certainly possible a murderer may regret their actions and say something like that. It's just that it's not 100% proof of anything.

Sure. If KR is calling her father moments after finding JO dead saying she's going to kill herself, that's not typical behavior of someone who has just found their partner dead.

Those are the actions of someone with a guilty conscience.

I appreciate your response. However, I wholeheartedly disagree 100%. It appears that KR has a good relationship with her father. I commend him for that. In addition, thoughts of suicide, threats of suicide ought always be taken seriously. moo

thank you for this

i will need some time to get my jaw off the floor
 
In everything that I have read, no one has brought up the idea that it could’ve been another car, from a completely random driver that hit JO. If I was a juror hearing the evidence that we had talked about over the past few years, I would conclude that it is just as likely that another car hit him.
 
@SueNBCBoston

Lally is up.
Asking about involvement with Albert family.
Lank was involved in something when charges were brought against an Albert.
Lank describes his relationship with Brian Albert as “civil”.
The 2 have not socialized alone.
Do you and Brian get along?


4:05 PM · May 6, 2024


We’ve had disagreements in the past.
Jackson back up.
Jackson asking about the Tim Albert incident.
Tim had a crash, fled the scene, the fluid from his car led to the Albert home.
Jackson: you didn’t have much choice, the evidence was right there.

@SueNBCBoston

Arguing the jury should know about this relationship.
Jackson making a strong argument that Lank has known the Alberts too long, he should have recused.
Judge asks how it would be introduced.
Judge doesn’t want a “trial within a trial”.


4:13 PM · May 6, 2024


Jackson is seeking to have one of the people involved in the suit testify.
Judge asks for the police report tonight.
Jackson doesn’t have it but will work to get it.
Lally now, it’s a little hard to hear him, next to an open window & there’s a truck outside.

She wasn't "uninvolved". She had been searching for him and had been the one to let him out of the car in the cold. Also, it is likely that she thought the death was her fault. She wasn't at all an "uninvolved person".

I had a drunk friend contemplate suicide after their cat died.

What about cameras, surveillance cameras, cctv? No one in the neighborhood had cameras? Hard to fathom that a Boston police officer did not have any cameras? moo

Don't forget, that early into the investigation the police leaked to the news media, specifically WBZ-TV news, that there was Ring camera video of KR hitting KO with her car, "WBZ-TV I-Team sources said investigators have video of the incident from a Ring doorbell camera and Read’s car has been impounded.". Every witness who spoke with the police after the news report on February 2, was under the impression it was an open and shut case and that video proof existed of the killing. Who from the police leaked that lie and for what reason? Why were the cops using the media to try to implicate KR and to influence all the interviews that were to come. Almost all of the people who were interviewed and claimed to have heard KR say "I hit him" only reported this being said AFTER the February 2 news report. It would be awesome if a reporter were called to the stand.
