RSBM You seem to give Karen a lot of credit for someone you seem to really despise.
It is not personal for me. I am old and weathered. Been around the world a time or two. We have this lady in the news who's never married but living with a bachelor w/ two children that do not belong to her. She's attractive and well educated. Successful professionally, too. She's checking
almost all the boxes.
How could she KNOW that after hitting him (not getting out to check on him) that he would die and not be found?
Karen knew John would die because the temps were in the 20s with strong winds, a blizzard with white out conditions on its way -- it was upon them.
Karen waited 5.5 hours before seeking help for John. She took two of his best friends with her to uncover John's face from the snow and her hysteria. If Karen had driven back by, he would not have frozen to death. Imagine a blunt force impact with a head injury and one's body is shivering as frostbite sets in the fingers and hands first. When John was recovered, his core temperature was 80 degrees down from normal 98.6.
How could she know in a group party situation that someone wouldn't have come out of the house and found him??
John gets out -- exits the SUV near where he was found only he was tossed into the air and landed for the placement away from the road near the bushes, fire hydrant and flag pole. Hence, he's out of her SUV when she drives 62 feet forward and stops. Then, the SUV is placed into reverse and driven at 24mph for 62 feet. Boom -- busted tail light, scratches and dings, cocktail glass fragments embedded in the bumper, metal is sticking out, according to KRogers. John is on the grass.
Her SUV can scoot 0 to 60 in 6.7 seconds. It took 2 seconds to hit John, then she was gone.
Count it: One Mississippi. Two Mississippi. Boom! It happened in an instant. No one saw John fly through the air or laying on the grass in the snow or he wouldn't be dead. They would have rescued him.
Also, I have heard you mention that she is a cop killer. He was her boyfriend - her significant other - even IF she did kill him, she didn't kill him because he was a cop.
I don't recall ever writing she was a cop killer but maybe you can point that comment out to me. TIA
You are correct though. John's death was not police related at all. It was personal between Karen and John.
I have to take into account her being drunk that night and into the next morning when I look at her actions / hysteria. I also am looking at the even more interesting/damning evidence/actions of the others at the party (destroying phones, getting rid of a dog, telling others what the story is, bullying) much later than that night.
Me and mine, we're an Apple family. We update our phones mostly at Christmas and birthdays. Phones are factory reset. Channel 4 news was at one of the Albert's businesses in town asking questions. A group text, from Matt, said: "Tell them the guy didn't come in the house." It was the truth. John did not enter 34 Fairview. He didn't make it past the flag pole.
I do feel an innocent dog named Chloe has been named a suspect in a hit and run case. Chloe was 7yo. Large dogs like GSs, don't typically have an extended lifetime. Following an incident that happened some time later, Chloe went to VT to run in the woods is my understanding. The Albert's downsized.
I personally think that the case against her is so weak, I couldn't convict.
Lally's made this trial seem so slow with the times of arrivals and departures of all of the players, where each one sat or stood, the vehicles' locations, the drinks ordered, the multiple phones, who heard what, how much snow was present. I'm not proselytizing. I've listened for exoneration. I haven't finished listening to BH. Those texts though...
However, I am watching the trial to see if the prosecution has evidence I am unaware of. But, I can see that others have already made up their mind - and that is okay for them to do. I am looking at this trial as a juror would and there is no way I could convict with the prosecutions case so far. JMO
