In this episode of "Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski," former Felony Prosecutor and attorney Eric Faddis discusses the controversial trial of Karen Read. The trial has been paused, and its future is uncertain as a grand jury considers the charges. The conversation highlights the ethical and professional issues surrounding Read's attorney, Alan Jackson, who was seen in an intimate embrace with Read. Faddis explains the legal implications of such a relationship and the potential impact on the trial's optics and fairness. The discussion also touches on the judge's controversial decisions, including the failure to pull the jury and the exclusion of not-guilty options on the jury sheet. Faddis predicts that continuing to prosecute Read would be foolhardy, given the jury's previous unanimous not-guilty verdicts on the main charges. However, he acknowledges the possibility of the prosecution's ego driving them to retry the case.
