Karen Read Trial Week One-What a ride, the homicide investigator is a low life and other blockbusters!
#199
Last Monday at 12:00 PM

What a ride the first week of trial was. The opening statements were diametrically opposed. The Prosecution opened in a flat and confusing manner, barely making an accusation. The Defense opened, dropping several bombs including the fact that State Police Homicide Investigator Proctor illegally accessed Karen Read's phone. He then texted his high school buddies that he was looking for nude photos in the defendant's phone, Proctor also said he wasn't going to look at other suspects and finally he called Karen Read a horrible slur beginning with a C, furthermore he wished Karen Read would kill herself. The...


Alvin Campbell-How does an alleged serial rapist accumulate 10 plus victims, and remain free?
#198
04/29/2024

Alvin Campbell allegedly acquired 10 plus victims of rape and sexual assault, before he was arrested. There was plenty of DNA, that was quickly identified as his.  Is it because he is the brother of the current Massachusetts Attorney General and former Boston City Councilor?  The tale of two siblings could not be more different. One went to Princeton and UCLA Law School, the other cycled through prison for gun and violence. He soon graduated to serial rape (allegedly). Alvin left DNA at several scenes and it would seem to be an easy case, however at one point a grand ju...


Karen Read Update-Jury Selection begins and the Commonwealth, still has not submitted discovery!

The Karen Read trial begins with jury selection. The Commonwealth STILL hasn't completed discovery and has asked when testing is finished to submit the "evidence". I don't think that's how discovery works. The Commonwealth can afford a not guilty in this case, however they cannot withstand the corruption revelations that are on the horizon. This case will go down in Massachusetts history as being wholly corrupt.

(Replay) Plymouth Mail Truck Robbery 1962-The equivalent of 13 Million in cash stolen, and never recovered
#196
04/14/2024

In August 1962 the U.S.Postal Service wanted to save money on armored car services. Instead of high security, they had a truck driver and one guard transport money, in mail trucks from Cape Cod post offices, to the Federal Reserve Bank in Boston. What could go wrong? It took local criminals about three weeks to rob this truck of millions. The media coverage was intense and the government sent postal inspectors to investigate. Local gangsters were not impressed, deriding them as "Stamp Police".  A record breaking reward of $150,000 (1.3 Million today) was presented, but never claimed. The defendants, tied t...


The Heath Street Gang-not so bright but members were deadly, one dolt committed a shooting, while on an ankle monitor
#195
04/08/2024

The Heath Street gang has been a blight on the Bromley-Heath Housing project for decades, but a large scale raid in 2024, has decimated the gang. The gang's members were deadly, but not very smart. During one foray into murder, one Heath Street gang member, shot another, while the duo tried to kill a gang rival. Another member conducted a shooting, while on an ankle monitor for another felony, that's the level of intelligence that the FBI and other authorities were dealing with.
There was also significant Covid relief fraud, delineated by the gang members rap songs. That's right...


Karen Read Update-March 30, 2024- Five government witness will have to lie at trial, motions to dismiss denied
#194
04/01/2024

During the last week of March 2024, two motions in this case were denied. A motion to dismiss filed by the defense and a motion to disqualify the Norfolk County District Attorney's Office. The judge did excoriate the DA's office for an absurd media package they had produced and distributed, the DA stated that the lead homicide investigator did not have a personal relationship with witnesses in this case. The federal corruption investigation revealed this was a lie and the DA likely knew it. 
At least five state witnesses will likely have to lie during this trial including the l...


(Replay) Keith Luke 2009-A lunatic who carved a swastika into his forehead, went on a rampage that left two dead and one raped and shot
#193
03/25/2024

Keith Luke 22, appears to be a somewhat conflicted white supremacist, he claimed to have committed this murderous act over racial animosity, however in the days before this madness, he tried, persistently to date at least two women of color. His racism seemed to be a symptom of him being an "incel", involuntary celibate. He had approached three women at a Planet Fitness in Brockton and basically asked to be in an immediate relationship with Selma Goncalves, she naturally rebuffed this hulking mess. Days later Keith Luke broke into Selma's home and brutalized her roommate, eventually shooting her multiple times...


Update Karen Read Case-March 2024-The FBI reveal that that Karen's car was not the murder weapon
#192
03/18/2024

Bombshells were dropped in the last hearing from the promised "Touhy" information, supplied by the DOJ. Some of the information revealed; Three FBI accident reconstructionists  have reported that Karen Read's vehicle did not strike John O'Keefe and John was not killed by a vehicle strike.  BOOM! Why is Karen Read still under indictment and how did the taillight fragments get to the crime scene, if there was NO vehicle strike???

The FBI also confirmed (Introduced by the defense) that the infamous google search by Jen Mcabe 2:27am ("how long to die in the cold") did occur. It wa...
