Trooper Michael Proctor, the lead investigator in the Karen Read murder trial, has been under significant scrutiny. His derogatory text messages about Read, sent to friends and colleagues, have cast doubt on his professionalism and the integrity of the investigation. Proctor referred to Read using disparaging terms and joked about the evidence, which defense attorneys argue indicates bias and mishandling of the case. Legal experts believe this severely undermines the prosecution's case, as jurors may question the reliability of the investigation and the credibility of the evidence presented​.Proctor's testimony revealed that he called Read a "wack job" and commented on her appearance and accent. Despite his apologies and assertions that his personal views did not impact the investigation, the defense has used these messages to argue that the investigation was compromised from the start. The defense contends that John O'Keefe, the victim, was actually murdered by someone inside the house where he was dropped off, not by Read, as the prosecution alleges. This contentious issue remains central as the trial progresses​.In this episode, we head back out to Canton for another look at Trooper Proctor and his conduct throughout this investigation.(commercial at 8:16)to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Trooper Michael Proctor conduct in Karen Read case may betray his training, documents show – NBC BostonBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.
