This is a woman with questionable gut health, probably has bacterial infection, anger issues and a lack of impulse control. She needs: (1) primary care MD to get a thorough history, (2) an endocrinologist, (3) an immunologist, (4) a psychiatrist/psychologist and (5) a neurologist. Essential find a hospital, tell all the patients to go home send this woman to every department in the hospital (you can probably skip urology and maternity). Instead, I am guessing that she will find a new home with a really good security system, round-the-clock attendants and no privacy in the room where bio-waste should go, as opposed to the hood of a vehicle. Not sure what Darwin would have said, just guessing that human evolution and behavior is on a continuum.

Thus far Logan Paul has had more returns from adversity (aka bad acts) than Jason Voorhees in the Halloween series. This time vs. Coffeezilla, Logan Paul may have made one too many slimy moves and sunk his own battleship so to speak. If Logan Paul has any non-sycophants in his inner circle he will heed the wise advice to settle with his investors and cancel the civil suit filed against Coffeezilla, with the usual NDA's of course.😉 I guess it is obvious the side that I am on in this civil suit.

Posted to Growing Up In Scientology (RE: Sale of downtown Clearwater to a Cult) 05/07/2025
It is so sad. To not see the history of Scientology or comprehend this cult's mistreatment of its own members is an astounding level of cluelessness. The only other answer, is that somehow, someway these 3 are benefiting. People who enjoy and desire a thriving community will most likely move out of Clearwater. The tax base will diminish. The streets will be even more silent. The climate may still be beautiful, but who will be around to see it? Certainly not those who remain in this cult. They are shut into buildings most of the time. If they ever leave their "prisons" it is with a small amount of money to spend in their even smaller amount of free time. In case these 3 selectmen have forgotten, the U.S. Constitution, begins with "We the People". Maybe they should read the rest before their 3 signatures give their community away to a cult.
Posted to LTL Media(RE:ReadTrial2-witnesses retired Lt. Gallagher and Trooper Yuri Bukhenik)5/9/25
I know people enjoy speculating on conspiracies. This case certainly has the corruption element that most conspiracies have. However the amount of LE cluelessness, incompetence, sloppiness, lack of deductive reasoning abilities and not even knowing their own chain of command is probably the bigger reason that Karen Read finds herself as a defendant for the 2nd time in this case. An officer from the Boston PD is tragically un-alived, in what plausibly could have been a drunken fight. No one involved will take responsibility. A female outsider with a strong connection to this Boston officer becomes the pawn that these locals believe will make all their "problems" disappear. Interestingly people in power for a very long time can become careless, negligent and prone to underestimate their opposition. My hope is that jury 2 sees the huge amounts of reasonable doubt due to bad LE work and a political machine running low on everything except hubris, to declare Karen Read not guilty.
Posted to Attorney Larry Forman (RE: Read Trial 2 witness testimony on shoe) Uploaded 05/10/2025
Full disclosure I wear reading glasses and have a monitor (video not heart😉) that is several years old. To me the sneaker in the snow @8:09-8:15 (assume image taken January 2022) looked like it has a black sole (NOT shadow) with white edging on both sides of black sneaker. Referring to the sneaker presented in court during Read trial 2 @11:03-11:10, I did see a slight scuff mark on right side of heel. As for the sole, it did not appear to be pristine, but was definitely white. Just goes to show the nature of this clown show cosplaying as a trial, that it is entirely possible that LE is bereft of intelligence enough to swap in a new shoe for an old shoe. HOWEVER, it is more likely that this group of incompetents scrubbed the shoe with chemicals to remove any DNA or identifiers to 34 Fairview Road thus producing a "cleaner" shoe. As was mentioned in this commentary the irony is immense as a spot light on the differing LE evidence procedures was shown by the prosecution's questions of Former LE Paul Gallagher and Trooper Connor Keefe. You remember Gallagher, who retired at a mid 200,000 usd level of annual salary?
Posted to Emily D. Baker (RE: Trooper Bukhenik reading the Higgins/Read texts) 05/10/1025
These trials are witch-hunts that have not occurred with such obvious corruption, vehemence and lack of evidence since Salem 1692-93 and Senator Joseph McCarthy in 1953-54. I know that sounds like hyperbole. Human nature can become twisted and cruel at so many times, in so many places on our planet. However the two I referenced did happen in U.S. The 2nd occurring way after the U.S. Constitution was signed in 1787. BTW, while I do not have a very high opinion of Trooper Bukhenik his text message reading was done with valid inflections and aplomb. I love the way he apologized for skipping a page. I wonder does anyone think that Trooper Bukhenik or his superiors will ever apologize to the family of Officer John O'Keefe or their (LE's) designated "pawn", Karen Read.

I am so happy for the citizens of Clearwater Florida. Hopefully this means that Clearwater will not be selling an important local thoroughfare to a cult that provides zero benefit to the town and its people. If completed, this sale would further erode away what should be a vital bustling community by physically bisecting this town. BTW if Scientology had not forced out so many local businesses, business leaders, residents and tourist locations over the years, it would not need revitalization only enhancements. Time for the people of Clearwater Florida to remove the suffocating entity that is Scientology, take a deep breath and regain their home.

I do not like this man (although Trooper Bukhenik's recitation of the texts between Brian Higgins and Karen Read was the stuff of legends). Even more than Proctor, Bukhenik symbolizes the abject failure in being effective LE, whether in an ethical sense or in a competent sense. He had one main job, to supervise Proctor. Match that failure with a few small town small-minded residents with very large quantities of hubris with a certain DA of a certain county in the Commonwealth who is so far beyond the pale that he was watched (and maybe still is) by the FBI, then we find ourselves here. BTW to all Massachusetts voters, Michael W. Morrissey's position is up for election in 2026.

Over 3 years ago a small group of powerful Canton residents with even more powerful friends in Norfolk County of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts made a horrendously wrong and cruel decision. Now careers, lives and futures of those who thought themselves as omnipotent and invulnerable have been forever damaged. Karen Read, her family and friends along with her heroic defense team will move on when this is over. As for the others, who knows. As of this comment, there is still an encore of this clown show with a civil law suit filed by the O'Keefe family after the mistrial. Perhaps the litigants will come to their senses to withdraw the civil suit. The likelihood for justice for Officer O'Keefe ended a very very long time ago. It will certainly not be found in any civil suit.
Posted to Attorney Larry Forman (RE: Read Trial 2 - Bukhenik cross) Uploaded to YT on 05/14/2025
The jury's verdict form in the first Read trial was quite confusing. The judge's instructions were also quite confusing. As for the inconsistency of the jury's responses to the 3 counts, I agree with Mr. Forman and Chandler in that qualities like deductive reasoning, critical thinking and knowledge of the rights that our own Constitution pledges to us is not spread equally among a random group of 12 people. The alleged presence of a court-approved foreperson who was former law enforcement was the coup de grâce for a fair verdict. Also in trial one, I believe that the defense in pointing out the massive corruption without an equal dose of massive incompetence went a bridge too far for the jury. The "KISS" (not rock group) method is the only way to go. The defense must prove that pedestrian vs. car could NEVER have happened.

I am happy that the many legal experts that I follow on YT produce a variety (short, long, with or without commentary) of videos. I "bounce around" depending on my free time and energy level. Robert Gilman was refreshing among a group of mostly obdurate and selective-amnesiac prosecution witnesses. Makes me curious as to why Brennan chose him? IMO what happened on January 29, 2022 involving Officer O'Keefe was a tragic accident. What looked like an impossibly complex conspiracy is actually quite simple. We find ourselves here due to a combination of LE incompetency + hubris of the powerful + more than a few dashes of governmental corruption.
Commenter:This is the dirtiest trial I can imagine. Aunt Bev needs to do serious time. Love your coverage.
MY REPLY: Incarceration is too easy. Let's go for the long game. Until Judge Cannone retires (70 years of age is the mandatory judge retirement age in Massachusetts), she should be sent to serve as the judge of Small Claims Court. Usually a clerk-magistrate runs Small Claims Court, so I suppose her title could be altered? As for her position on the Massachusetts Supreme Court, well that has to go away.

Amazing how when former (never get tired of inserting that adjective) Trooper Michael Proctor's name is mentioned by the Defense there is often an objection from the prosecution. Or even more egregious, is the judge's scolding interjection of, "please rephrase your question". George Orwell's novel, 1984 chronicled a dystopia. The dystopia had a concept called "non-person". This is where The State (or shall we say, cough cough, The Commonwealth?😉) erases a particular person's existence from public and private memory. Maybe in the short term, certain people in power benefit from this erasure. However long term this action is a poison, which if left unchecked, can destroy a society. Without a knowledge of history, without seeing the mistakes and the advances made in the past, we damage our future. This erasure can be seen in our reality regarding denial of past scientific advances or making the same horrific mistakes again and again. BTW as for the unwanted office phone calls, consult IT to create a filter based on certain words and phrases. Ever called a medical insurer? Their AI is really good at shunting calls to "special places".

Being an effective expert witness is more than having accomplished knowledge in your particular field. In order to convince the jury, issues such as deportment, vocal tones and the amount of jewelry/makeup are also relevant. There is a reason why the defense will fight for having their client appear in street wear, professional hair and no visible confinement items during court time. Perhaps due to her inexperience (3 trials?) as an expert witness, Jessica Hyde does not do a very effective job of being relatable and understandable. She needs to brush up on her attitude, mannerisms and comparative analogies. That pizza story analogy might have the educational institution that awarded her degree questioning THEIR judgement.😉

If the jury system is to remain, or in some areas become, a relevant way of determining guilty or not guilty, we need more informed jurors. Perhaps a mandatory inclusion in the required courses of all U.S. public schools (never going to happen but I can dream) where critical thinking, concepts such as "reasonable doubt" and learning at least a simplified version of the U.S. Constitution plus its amendments is taught. I am willing to admit that my less than stellar opinion on juries is based on a very small group of trials that I have watched on YT. While "having a feeling" or "a gut reaction" in certain intuitive individuals can lead them to the truth of the matter, most of us need to rely on the court testimonies. What do I think will happen in this case, probably a mistrial. The Commonwealth will then state that is is laying plans for a re-trial (aka Trial 3). There is a major election in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts on November 3 2026. IMO this is the only chance for this circus of a trial to be forced to exit the town.

IMO what happened to Officer O'Keefe began as a fight among men with more hubris than sense that night/early morning in January 2022. Obviously this decision affected the family of Officer O'Keefe and the life of Karen Read.

I appreciate that he can "read" people so that he can adjust his questions.

Posted to Uncivil Law (RE: Burgess Testimony Problems in Karen Read Trial) 05/22/2025
I have been inspired by Uncivil's valiant efforts in trying to explain The Shanon Speculation (aka The Burgess Belief). Let me expand upon Uncivil's excellent hypotheses. A bit of background, in 1963 Roy Kerr solved a few Einstein (yes, THAT one) equations concerning relativity. Mr Kerr proved that black holes are indeed stable. However instability can occur due to super-radiation. I cannot explain super-radiation as I cannot even figure out daylight savings time vs. standard time. However my theory is based on the science which I plan on acquiring in the next millennia, probably around 3001. Due to certain radioactive particles who insisted that they were super, the black hole surrounding a certain town (let us call it C Prime) in the Commonwealth destabilized. So C Prime was pulled into the now destabilized black hole only to be released seconds later to the same spacetime, longitude and latitude as C Prime had been positioned. What was released is the community which I will designate as C Secondary (imagination is also not yet in my skill set, maybe in 3002?). C Secondary is seemingly deficient in proper levels of chemicals necessary for cognition, critical thinking skills and good sense in humanoids. Eureka, here we are.😕

Talking about a neurosurgeon, like Dr. Aizik Wolf being an actual expert, I find Mark Bederow to be an expert legal-surgeon (in the analytical not medical sense). He cuts to the important pieces of data to reveal details concerning its "health" (aka irrelevant or relevant) status. We most likely have passed the time for justice regarding Officer John O'Keefe. Perhaps there is still time for Karen Read. The Commonwealth needs to walk away, come to terms with whomever invited this circus to town and end this. On November 3 2026 is a very important election in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. The position of DA of Norfolk County will be on that ballot.

I have heard that regarding cults of any kind that one of the biggest barriers in removing a long term cult member is their own confirmation bias. Acknowledging aloud that you wasted your time, your trust and your life in a cult is highly difficult. The result is the person, even with doubts, stays in. The O'Keefe family appears quite in line with the "McAlberts". I also agree that Brennan took on this job of SP for a reason. IMO it was not for money or fame. That leaves one reason...power. However like many careers of those aligned with the prosecution, Special Prosecutor Brennan's own ambitions will take a very hard hit. REMINDER for registered Massachusetts voters, the next Commonwealth-wide election is on November 3 2026. This may be the only chance to help Karen Read to regain her life and the Commonwealth to regain its honor.

It was also a surprisingly accurate view of the attorneys, their styles and the witnesses. I lost faith in juries after the first trial. A jury has considerable power which can be tempered by an unbiased judge and an ethical prosecutor who values justice not fame, not money and not power. In this trial that ideal judge and prosecutor are essentially nonexistent. So I do worry. While the Commonwealth election of November 3, 2026 may "right the ship", that is still a long time away from an early June 2025 (probable end of this trial) verdict which potentially could be based more on smoke and mirrors than evidence and/or reasonable doubt.

INNUENDO or ACCURATE, you decide. The Karen Read saga started on January 29 2022 with the d3ath of Officer John O'Keefe. Karen Read had been dating Officer O'Keefe. They yelled...a lot. Mom O'Keefe was never a fan of Karen Read. Officer O'Keefe was a single adoptive dad of two. Karen Read grew to like and even love the children. The location of this saga was a small town with some powerful but quite narrow-minded residents who were/are fond of using alcohol more frequently than water. These narrow-minded small town powerful people had even more powerful friends at the palace (aka the County and the Commonwealth). The County of Norfolk and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts operate similar to a medieval kingdom with largesse (aka power and money) given as favors to friends of "the King" or "the Prince". While non-friends get nothing but problems. Remember how angry the King of England (think UK) got in 1776? That reaction on a slightly smaller scale was comparable to reactions of the county of Norfolk and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Everyone yelled at one another saying, "it's your fault" and "no it's your fault". Mandatory attendance at a circus of a court soon followed. Many lied foolishly. Others developed amnesia. A few were brave and true. As of the date of this comment that circus is still in town with fools, wizards and general populace in attendance. CLIFFHANGER to this story: the positions of "King" and "Prince" are only a few of the titles that will be on the ballot of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts on November 3 2026.😉

If person is appointed, there is the inherent danger of power being concentrated in too few hands. What is the solution? Oversight by a neutral party? Annually "checks" mandated when a position is acquired by appointment? Professional peer reviewed credentials filed before your name can be placed on the ballot? It is all so confusing. I now regret skipping a course elective in Constitutional Law, but I did take the elective in Ethics. Probably completion of both courses should be linked to the award of any diploma in higher education.

One has to wonder why a man as smart (admittedly deficient in other areas such as ethics...allegedly) as Brennan (1) took this job and (2) asked Matthew DiSorga some of the dumbest questions that I have ever heard (that includes twitter). After Brennan's cross of DiSorga, full disclosure, I was doubly confused. Both by the caliber of the questions matched with Brennan's seemingly magically disappearing IQ. So why? Perhaps to guarantee a mistrial by confusion (aka smoke and mirrors)? Brennan would like a guilty verdict, however doubtful that is his primary goal. As for Proctor, guessing either defense knows he will take the 5th or be otherwise unavailable for testimony in this trial. Either retrial (aka trial #3) or Appellate Court as Uncivil said, neither are good for Karen Read, family of Officer O'Keefe nor the taxpayers of the Commonwealth.

Even without a cult's manipulation, a family's dysfunction can force separation. This may be essential if only for one's mental health. I have personal knowledge of that sad situation.There should be no guilt in that decision. With the inevitable family issues (you can pick your friends, but not so much your relatives) compounded by a cult encouraging individuals to devalue family and friends is not making this a better world, quite the opposite in fact. I am happy that Jenna and Dallas (even the divorce was a step forward in acknowledgement of each other's differing needs) along with their children appear to be succeeding in avoiding generational pain and dysfunction. LOVE to you all.
