Support the show and get episodes early and ad-free: https://www.patreon.com/solidlisten Molly welcomes Kate Peter (MassholeMafia) to the podcast to discuss Accused: The Karen Read Story. Kate’s involvement with the case began in 2018, when she briefly worked as a writer for Turtle Boy’s blog, and has continued ever since. Today, she is one of the most outspoken advocates for justice for John O’Keefe, his family, and the witnesses. Kate offers firsthand insight into how the “Free Karen Read” campaign began—and the chaos it unleashed on everyone even tangentially involved. Her perspective makes this episode a must-listen for anyone trying to understand how rumors and manipulative storytelling, marketed as journalism, snowballed into a worldwide movement that ultimately supported a drunk-driving, rage-fueled girlfriend despite overwhelming evidence against her.

Karen Read's Lifetime movie dropped and as someone who has been following the case and both trials closely for over two years, Molly's ready to talk about it and who better to talk about it with than two of the people she spent hours a day with discussing the case on TikTok Live. LOL. You already know Cap'n Scoot, but we've also got Jamie, an attorney based in South Carolina who started paying attention to the case after her former roommate, a Dedham local, mentioned to her that she totally had to look into it. There is no IMDb summary for this film (because of course there's not), but here's the summary from Lifetime's website: When Boston Police Officer John O’Keefe is found dead in a snowbank outside a friend’s home, his girlfriend Karen Read, is ​charged in connection with his death. What begins as a tragedy quickly ignites a firestorm that captures national attention.
