Untested Blood & Teen Testimony — Attorney Eric Faddis on the Karen Read Trial’s Explosive Week
Attorney Eric Faddis returns to break down what may be the most pivotal week yet in the Karen Read trial — a week that saw emotional testimony from John O’Keefe’s niece and nephew and shocking revelations about critical evidence that was never tested. The courtroom was left reeling as jurors learned that blood found inside the home and on household items was never submitted for forensic analysis — a potentially massive gap in the state’s investigation.
But that’s just the start. We dive into the testimony of the two teens who lived with John O’Keefe. Their words painted a stark portrait of the final weeks of his relationship with Karen Read — not as a couple growing closer, as Read’s defense has claimed, but as a household filled with tension, volatility, and escalating verbal abuse.
With Eric Faddis guiding us through the legal framework, we examine how the prosecution is constructing a motive using the testimony of these young witnesses — and how the defense might counter by attacking credibility, suggesting manipulation, or claiming bias.
Then we get into the elephant in the room: how can you claim to have conducted a thorough investigation when blood at the crime scene remains untested? Eric walks us through whether that constitutes negligence, prosecutorial strategy, or something more sinister.
If you’re trying to make sense of how the evidence — or lack thereof — is shaping this trial, this episode breaks it down from every legal angle.
