In July of 2024 the judge in the trial of The Commonwealth of Massachusetts v. Karen Read declared a mistrial. The re-trial of Karen Read just concluded and is now in the hands of the jury. In this episode we are joined by Dr. Ashley Scolaro, a cognitive neuroscientist and professor who specializes in memory, taboo language, eyewitness reliability, and conspiracy theory ideation to discuss the second Karen Read trial.

Karen Read is on trial accused of killing her boyfriend John O'Keefe, a Boston Police officer, after dropping him off at the home of another Boston police officer, Brian Albert. Prosecutors allege that Read intentionally hit O'Keefe with her SUV and left him to die on Brian Albert's front lawn during a snowstorm. The investigation and two trials have exposed misogyny toward Read by the lead investigator, bias against Read and corruption within multiple Massachusetts law enforcement agencies Karen Read maintains her innocence and asserts that she is the victim of a cover up by the police of the murder of John O'Keefe.
