The prosecution says Karen Read’s SUV was reversing at the exact moment John O’Keefe last used his phone — and their digital expert says the car’s own data proves it. On Day 19 of the Karen Read trial, jurors heard from forensic analyst Shanon Burgess again. Today, under re-direct examination, he broke down the Techstream event logged by Read’s Lexus and explained how it lined up with O’Keefe’s final phone activity. But as his timeline came under fire, so did his credibility.. again.

The prosecution says Karen Read backed her SUV into John O’Keefe — and now they’ve got a timeline they claim proves it. Down to the second. But here’s the problem: the expert who gave them that timeline is under fire for lying about his degree, submitting a mid-trial report full of copy-paste errors, and mixing up megabits and megabytes.  In today’s episode, Ashleigh Banfield breaks down Day 18 of the Karen Read trial.

The inner circle is speaking, and we're all ears. Cassie’s ex-best friend. Diddy’s former assistant. And brand-new DOJ photos. In this episode, Ashleigh Banfield breaks down every disturbing detail: the chef’s knife in the door, the bruises Cassie photographed herself, the $30,000 NDA… and the people closest to Diddy who are now testifying against him.

He was the king of Bad Boy Records: a billionaire mogul, a Grammy winner, and the face of luxury in hip-hop. Sean “Diddy” Combs is facing a slew of federal charges in New York, accused of running a criminal enterprise for over two decades. Combs has pleaded not guilty to all charges.

Day 17 of the Karen Read trial may have been a short day on the calendar, but inside that Norfolk County courtroom, the action was nonstop. Judge Cannone gave jurors a pointed warning before testimony even began. Two forensic scientists took the stand, and the defense came ready. From questions about unknown DNA on key evidence, to serious concerns over where O’Keefe’s clothing was stored for six weeks, to a battle over whether a 33-second timeline shift was a discovery violation.

Day 5 of Diddy’s trial just blew the roof off. Jurors heard a 2014 audio recording of Cassie Ventura screaming at a man who claimed he saw one of her sex tapes. “I will f--king kill you. I will cut you up and put you in the f--king dirt.” In this episode of Drop Dead Serious, Ashleigh Banfield breaks down the final day in week 1 of Diddy's Federal Trial.

He was the king of Bad Boy Records: a billionaire mogul, a Grammy winner, and the face of luxury in hip-hop. Sean “Diddy” Combs is facing a slew of federal charges in New York, accused of running a criminal enterprise for over two decades. Combs has pleaded not guilty to all charges.

Day 16 of the Karen Read trial zeroed in on the one question that could make or break this case: How did John O’Keefe die? The medical expert, Dr. Irini Scordi-Bello, took the stand and walked the jury through the autopsy — from the bruises on his arms… to the injuries on his face… to the gash across his scalp. The only problem? Determining John O'Keefe's manner of death. 

It's Day 4 of Diddy's Trial.... and Cassie Ventura’s cross-examination in Sean “Diddy” Combs’ federal sex trafficking trial took a sharp turn. The defense came out swinging, armed with a stack of Cassie’s old text messages, emails, and surveillance footage. And one by one, they used her own words against her. In this episode of Drop Dead Serious, Ashleigh Banfield breaks down the pivotal moments in the courtroom… how Cassie held up under pressure… and whether Diddy’s legal team managed to plant seeds of doubt in the minds of the jury.

Who leaked sealed information to Dateline NBC? And how did it end up in a nationally televised special? In this episode of Drop Dead Serious, Ashleigh Banfield is joined by NewsNation’s senior national correspondent Brian Entin, who’s been covering every angle of the Bryan Kohberger case from the very beginning.

A forensic scientist took the stand to explain how glass, a hair, and bloody snow in a red Solo cup pointed to Karen Read’s guilt. But the second the defense got up? Things got messy. Fast. In this episode, Ashleigh Banfield walks you through Day 15 of Karen Read's trial. 

Cassie Ventura took the stand for a third day, and what she told the jury left the entire courtroom reeling. In this episode of Drop Dead Serious, Ashleigh Banfield walks you through every brutal detail of Cassie’s testimony, from surveillance video at the InterContinental Hotel… to the “freak-off” footage shown only to the jury. Cassie even testified that when Diddy found out she was dating rapper Kid Cudi, he said Kid Cudi’s car would be blown up. And that's EXACTLY what happened... Kid Cudi confirmed it to The New York Times.
