In a recent episode of "Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski," psychotherapist and author Shavaun Scott discusses the trial of Karen Read, who made seemingly incriminating statements while reportedly in a blackout state due to alcohol. The conversation delves into the complexities of interpreting actions and statements made under extreme stress and intoxication. They discuss various aspects of the case, including suicidal statements made by Read, the alarming speed at which she reversed her car, and the implications of her intoxication on her mental state and legal responsibility. The episode raises questions about the appropriateness of the murder charge against her, suggesting that vehicular homicide might be more fitting given the circumstances.

Main Points:

- **Suicidal Statements:** Karen Read made suicidal statements on the night of the incident, indicating extreme distress.

- **Car Maneuver:** Evidence shows Read reversed her car at high speeds, which could be interpreted in several ways, including as a panicked or aggressive reaction.

- **Intoxication's Impact:** Scott emphasizes the significant role of alcohol in impairing Read's judgment, potentially leading to her unclear recollection of events.

- **Questioning the Murder Charge:** The discussion suggests that the murder charge may be excessive, proposing vehicular homicide as a more suitable charge given the blackout and lack of clear intent.

- **Interpretation of Evidence:** The conversation highlights the difficulty in interpreting Read's actions and statements due to her intoxicated state.

- **Role of Alcohol:** Alcohol is seen as a major factor, influencing Read's behavior and complicating the legal assessment of her actions.
