Mind Behind The Crime | The Psychology Of Killers

What Was Karen Read Thinking When Digging Her Hole Deeper, Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott Weighs In


Listen Later

Was Karen Read seeking justice—or just someone to keep telling her she’s right?

When a Boston police officer, John O'Keefe, turns up dead and Karen Read is charged with his alleged murder, things spiral into more than just a courtroom drama. Encrypted messages, endless hours of contact with a controversial blogger (who might have a bit of a crush), and a defense that screams “cover-up” more than “clear-cut”—this case is a messy mix of emotion, obsession, and chaos.

Psychotherapist and author Shavaun Scott joins Tony Brueski to break down the psychological whirlwind behind Read’s actions: from potentially manipulative behavior, to an almost teenage-like hunger for validation, to whether this entire saga is driven by guilt or just a need to win—at any cost. With a former juror now bizarrely on her legal team and behavior that looks more like a reality show than a murder trial, one question lingers...

Will Karen Read be convicted based on her personality instead of the evidence?
