The State has consistently suggested, from opening statement on, that yep, KR "snapped" when she heard Jen mention Bella's mom, a previous love interest of JO. Snapped as in her switch flipped to (wildly off-base & inappropriate) intense anger, jealousy, distrust & paranoia, just as she had gone off in Aruba.
And based on her texts with Higgins, she never let go of her anger & still believed JO had "cheated" on her there. (Despite dodging Higgins asking her twice if JO had "banged" the gal). Higgins was absolutely on target to suspect KR wasn't interested in him, but instead wanted to "weaponize" him against JO.
And BTW, KR didn't seem in the slightest like she was prepared to move on. JO apparently told her twice to git out & she refused both times.
(And to add my 2 cents, I don't believe JO ever went into the house, much less that most of the peeps in the house didn't hear a sound as JO was beaten to death for absolutely no reason at all, & that afterwards they & dozens of others the concocted a huge coverup. Minus KR colluding with TB, her pit bull defense attys, & the worst aspects of social media, imo few others would buy into that fairy tale either.
The simpler & more believable narrative is that KR was drunk, again, & in the time between leaving Waterfall & arriving at the house had gone into rage & resentment mode. I have little to no doubt she hit him on purpose & knew that she had, but not that she had killed him. The defense has done an excellent job of diverting attention away from the fact that from the get go at 5AM the next morning, KR's most consistent explanation for what happened to JO was that she might have/did hit JO with her SUV. Now *that* is curious, given both her story #1, that she was so drunk she didn't remember anything after being at the Waterfall, and her story #2, that she dropped him off at the Alberts' house & left.
So why do you think so many people involved people are lying about:
Data confirmed answered phone calls and alleged butt dials/butt answers(Nicole, Jen McCabe, Brian Albert, Brian Higgins)
Life360 data (Allie McCabe)
Google searches (Hos long to die...)
Destroying, deleting phones and sim cards when they knew a legal hold coming the next day (Higgins, Brian Albert)
The time Chris Albert left the Waterfall and the time Caitlyn Albert left the party
Why do you think no one heard an SUV hit a man so hard that it knocked him sideways onto the lawn 12 feet and killed him?
Along the same lines, how could the Read vehicle have no body damage after hitting a 220 pound man that hard?
Why do you think no one saw a body on the lawn at any time until the morning? Even considering all of these vehicles had headlights on and drove right past the location.
(The above includes a snow plow driver in a large DPW truck.)
Are you troubled at all by:
The fact that the Canton PD only entered the front of the house that morning and apparently didn't request to look around or, failing that, get a search warrant.
The fact that a friend of the Alberts took on the state police investigation and did only cursory interviews with only some of the people in the house and that those interviews weren't conducted at a state police location but instead at the McCabes' house where he conducted a group interview.
The fact that said State Trooper, Michael Proctor, is currently under internal investigation with the State and probably an FBI target.
The fact that the Canton Police with their leaf blower found ZERO taillight pieces early that morning when snow fall was limited but Michael Trooper eventually found 45 pieces of taillight over the course of the next days and weeks, and that these searches were not documented by him in any report.
The fact that the FBI even got involved with this case when they'd normally have no jurisdiction.
The prosecution has so far established zilch with regard to this being a pedestrian hit. And the defense hasn't even started yet. There is so much more to come.
And finally, what do you think caused those injuries to John's arm?
