Apparently many Karen Read defenders are now suggesting the judge is biased against her. Maybe the judge is in on the conspiracy too!?? How deep does this conspiracy go? The whole state of Boston is out to get Karen Read apparently. Lol.
I really like this judge! She’s a breath of fresh air. We’ve seen a lot of judges in these high profile trials (looking at you Judge Glanville in the YSL trial) lose control of their courtrooms and it’s a mess. If it hadn’t been for this judge, the defense would’ve turned this trial into a circus with their bs conspiracy theory. They’ve already turned the public discourse into a dumpster fire with their propaganda. I think she’s acutely aware of this and determined not to make the trial a joke. JMO
Personally, I don't think she's biased. She's given the defense significant leeway to make their case when she could have hamstrung them. For example, she's apparently going to let in evidence of Officer Lank interceding on behalf of the Albert brothers in the past.
However, having watched most of the pretrial hearings as well the trial to date, I feel she has a certain about of disdain for the defense attorneys. She's made several snide remarks to them (but for the most part not in front of the jury). In particular she seems to dislike Alan Jackson. I don't know why. Maybe because they asked her to recuse herself. Maybe she doesn't like a non-local interloper. Or as a former public defender maybe she resents these high-priced attorneys in private practice. Who knows, maybe they are rude to her in private. Others have noted it as well, and not just KR defenders. I've seen more neutral trial watchers mention it as well.
