The Trial Of Karen Read | Justice For John O'Keefe - Podcast Rankings and reviews

I really liked this podcast until I read the one star reviews. I think the reviews themselves are whiny. But sadly they colored my enjoyment. The host of the podcast does have a radio DJ type of voice but so far his comments seem typical of a podcast host. I like his descriptions of the body language in the courtroom. He seems astute in his assessment of the witnesses. The uninterrupted telecast of the courtroom goings-on is absolutely riveting! Hours fly by. I cannot recommend it enough.
It is fascinating to hear Mr.Brennan’s mellow approach against the defense. The defense keeps beating a horse long after it’s dead. I’m sure the jury is sick of his tv drama method of questioning. The guy must have learned to try cases by workshop or apprenticing to slick plaintiff lawyers. Karen chose poorly when she picked him to be her mouthpiece. At one point he says to his assistant, “I’m rushed” when the asst. is trying to find something for him. He’s not rushed; he’s unprepared.

Tony is brilliantly funny and yet still full of common sense and analytical thinking. Great insight to the trial. It’s honest regardless whether people like the truth of not.

Would like to see longer commentary. At least one episode (the google search) is not the one titled or described - it’s a clip from an episode about the Daybell trial. Still listening, so not sure if there are others. When episodes are sorted oldest to newest, the multi part episodes are out of order. Mainly listening for the live courtroom audio.

I love that I can listen to full court testimony of trials, but I really wish I wasn’t flooded with a bunch of commentary episodes. If the testimony was split into its own podcast I’d give it 5 stars.

As someone who has been following the Karen Read trial closely—including watching the proceedings, listening to multiple podcasts (including this one), and researching the facts—I find it incredibly unfair and condescending for Jennifer Coffindaffer to claim that those in “Karen Read’s camp” are only relying on YouTube and drama. That kind of blanket statement discredits the many thoughtful, informed individuals who are making judgments based on the same evidence she is. Just because someone believes there may be a cover-up does not mean they aren’t critically evaluating the information. This kind of bias only undermines the credibility of the discussion. Listeners deserve more respect and balance, especially when the stakes are this high.

I’m not even a Karen Read fan and haven’t made up my mind on her guilt but this is NOT the place to get good recaps of the trial. I have listened to several podcasts and YouTube creators following the trial and this is by far the most biased and least credible. This guy is incredibly condescending and arrogant. He leaves out details and twists a lot of info to feed his bias. Honestly, he seems very hateful toward women. It was really jarring and odd to listen to after hearing a lot of people recapping by simply just delivering the details from the day without the immaturity that this guy used. I don’t usually leave reviews but wanted to warn people like me who are just looking to get the facts. Most of what you get from this guy is arrogance.
