Atf agent Brian Higgins reading flirty Text Messages between him and karen read the Massachusetts Woman on trial for murdering her boyfriend fossen a Police Officer jon okeefe for this tax weeks before okeefe was found dead outside of a friends house in a january of 2022. Prosecutors claim a reit hit okeefe with her suv during a snowstorm. It reads lawyers claim she is being framed by police. Joining us now is mercedes Criminal Defense Attorney to talk about this this is captured not just interest across the country but a lot of interest that massachusetts is being paid very close attention too. I want to get your take on a higgithiggins who kind of face n awkward situation reading on both sides of the Text Messages back and forth in court, your thoughts . Really interesting because of friends like Brian Higgins you dont need enemies apparently they were friends and there is a Flirtation Taking place in these and text exchanges Brian Higgins was one of the individuals they defense site was in the house the night jon okeefe died in the snow bank outside the home he has been implicated in a coconspirator kind of way. Not directly in any way he is not brought up on charges. There is nothing like that. What the judge has allowed the defense to do was to plead this alternate Defense Theory that could implicate individuals that have not been charged with any crimes. Brian higgins is one of those individuals they defense is targeting may or may not be involved in janakis death here heres their take out the defense say jon okeefe was inside the home allegedly was then thrown out of the house and left in a snow bank to die. There were two very significant issues that came up this week on the defense site which could be a game changer for the defense. This all entails jennifer and who is she . She is the sisterinlaw of the owner of the home were jon okeefe was allegedly beat up as the defense is theorizing. She had listed with the defense has shown she looked up how long an individual takes to die at a hypothermia for hours before his body was found dead in that snow bank. Interesting it was then deleted she was examined in this week and Cross Examination for it was established she and she denies it for the other part that was a significant boost to the defense is that she was confronted with her crossexamination of the change in her testimony. When she testified on behalf of the prosecutors in the grand jury, she claimed karen read said that i hit him . Im not sure that i hit him . Did i hit him . Nothing like that said definitively she hit jon okeefe it has changed now. Now she shes the prosecutions witness in the trial she said definitively parent reit admitted she hiton okeefe. During crossexamination she was hit with that particular testimony. These are two very key issues the defense is going to take an exploit for sure byebye stuart reese raising interesting points haunted by the cold sort of scenario that Google Search was talked about a lot. We have a little picture we also have what mccabe has explained regarding that regarding she does not remember doing this in the middle of the night instead she did it when asked. Take a listen. Karen was screaming my hands were shaking and she was saying google hypothermia how long does it take to die in the cold . What phrase did you put in your phone . Im asking you to s say it too. Why dont you show me it . You literally dont remember . Again she was screaming google hypothermia how does it take to die the cold i picked up my phone and i started googling. She says she did not do this in the middle of the night two dead after janakis body was found upon the direction by karen arish. But throughout the course of this entire trial as it has gone on the Defense Attorneys have been putting forth areas of Phone Records and some of the folks on the sand these witnesses say that was a Butt Butgalli never made that call. I never googled that in the middle of the night, i did at the next mic the defense is pushing back on a lot of that. Were showing them these Phone Records that witnesses are saying i dont remember that, i didnt do that. Your thoughts is that a tactic . How is that going to play before the jury . Whats its really difficult but you s said t sit there as a jure never been a jury i always exclude it when im a jury pool. When you look at that type of evidence and you do not have definitive evidence that shows the defense that shook the defendant had think of the alleged crime being alleged to have this budging back and forth in the Digital Footprints of the evidence coming forward that is not contradicted during crossexamination it is hard to convict the defendant Beyond A Reasonable Doubt of being guilty of the crimes are being charged. That is the issue we are dealing with right now but youve got digital evidence that is contradicted in crossexamination. When these witnesses are coming forward and i think jennifers testimony is going to be so q youre going to hear it you will hear it definitely during the closing the defense is going to try and tie all this together but frankly whenever you have this type of Fantastical Conspiratorial Theory The Defendant has nothing to do with the crime. Its all of these coconspirators hanging out in the house. They are responsible for janakis death. It sounds so fantastical. When you start to really thread the needle and put in the timeline you put in this digital evidence certainly what jennifer alleged to have done, why is she looking up and googling how someone dies in hypothermia for fourhours before the bodies fou . He tried to move a timeline to after his body was found. Thats when i did that googling. Theres something going to be very significant shows up definitely again during the defense out and certainly in their case and lastly in the closing. The right had the defense is making this argument she is being framed its up to the prosecutors to get rid it of any reasonable doubt with the outlays and for the jury you mention the closing arguments when they finally get to them are going to be pretty interesting. Mercedes, thank you so much for joining us on this memorial day we get we appreciate your insights and for helping us keep track of this trial there are a lot of faces coming up to that stand.
