In this episode of "Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski," defense attorney Bob Motta discusses the cross-examination of Jennifer McCabe in the trial of Karen Read. McCabe describes the night John O'Keefe was found dead, focusing on her and Kerry Roberts' shock and efforts to piece together events. She recounts how Karen Read, in a panic, repeatedly asked if she had hit John and became hysterical upon seeing him. Motta critiques McCabe's testimony, suggesting she might be fabricating parts of the story and highlighting inconsistencies, such as Read's unfamiliarity with the location where O'Keefe was found. He also notes McCabe's close communication with others involved, implying a possible cover-up. Brueski finds McCabe authentic but acknowledges potential false memories due to alcohol. The conversation underscores the unusual strategy of the prosecution presenting a "pre-buttle" case and Motta's skepticism of McCabe's credibility, especially compared to Kerry Roberts' genuine emotional connection to O'Keefe. Despite this, Motta respects McCabe's resolve and effectiveness during cross-examination, likening it to a heavyweight fight.
