Karen Read Case Update

[00:00:00]Just when you think that this case cannot possibly get any messier, somehow it always does. Because now, 1 year after Karen Read was acquitted of murder in the death of her boyfriend John O'Keefe, she has of course, as we all expected, turned around and sued the people who investigated her in the first place, which good for her. This investigation was like botched and a horrible from the start. Michael Proctor is disgusting. He deserves everything that's coming his way. Now, some of the text messages have come out as part of that lawsuit. And if you remember during the trial, there were a couple messages that we heard about where he was calling her a see you next Tuesday to fellow law enforcement officers. He was talking about the way her ass looked, like gross ass things. But now, I didn't think it could get any worse. These new text messages, I don't even know what word to use besides, I don't know, shocking, gross, vile. According to the lawsuit, investigators have now uncovered years and years of text messages that were exchanged between Proctor and former Canton Police Sergeant Sean Good. And some of the things that are said in those messages are absolutely unbelievable. The lawsuit claims that the two of them exchanged racist, misogynistic, anti-semitic, and homophobic messages back and forth with each other on a regular basis. Now, a lot of them, if not most of them, also used racial slurs. They used the R word, if really gross language referring to non-white or non-Caucasian people.

[00:01:24]According to the lawsuit, there were conversations that allegedly discussed women when they were asleep. The messages referred to women using degrading and vulgar language as well, with prosecutors arguing this was not just locker room talk or dark humor, but way more serious, saying that it reflected a pattern of hostility toward women.
