With the retrial of Karen Read for murder in the death of her boyfriend John O’Keefe fast approaching, have you changed your perspective on the case? A Boston Globe journalist went looking to see if any Karen Read supporters had secretly flipped and the feedback received was a bit “scary.” One commonality among all respondents was a sense of fear and paranoia. Dan will share this local journalist’s tale and ask you if you have changed your opinion on whether you believe Read is guilty or innocent. This comes at a time when Read and her defense team are pushing for the U.S. Supreme Court to delay the retrial while the Court decides whether to take up her double jeopardy appeal.

*The journalist has denied our request to join at this time*
