Why Does Karen Read Have A Cult Following Of Supporters?

In the podcast "Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski," psychotherapist and author Shavaun Scott discusses the fervent support for Karen Read among some of her followers, despite contradictory evidence. The conversation highlights how the defense is attempting to create reasonable doubt by suggesting Colin Albert as a potential culprit in the death of John O'Keefe. The defense's argument is based on a photograph showing injuries to Albert's knuckles weeks after the incident, though another photo taken shortly after the incident shows no such injuries. Scott and Brueski discuss the cult-like behavior of some Read supporters, who disregard facts and latch onto conspiracy theories. They also critique the Massachusetts State Police for not thoroughly investigating all individuals present at the scene, despite Albert's lack of a violent history. The discussion underscores the challenges of distinguishing between emotional and rational thinking in such high-profile cases.
