- Good afternoon folks: the clerk of the Supreme Judicial Court just accepted our brief seeking Kelsey's release on reasonable bail terms. Kelsey and all of us on the defense team are extremely grateful for all of the support, encouragement, and brilliant ideas sent our way. ❤️
- "Hard cases make bad law." You learn that in law school, that such cases shouldn't be the ones to create future precedent. It is truly unprecedented for the judge to allow the Read DA to make it up as he goes along. Imagine future cases under this rule. No due process.
- Replying to @trialjunkiecoleI have news for everybody the police didn't even need a warrant to go in that house. They should have done a protective sweep of the house to make sure there were no other injured or deceased parties inside. Anything in plain view would have been subject to seizure.
- Replying to @DoctorTurtleboyYeah let's go people - SC Justice Louis Brandeis said in 1913 that "sunshine is the best disinfectant", re the curative effects of publicity and public scrutiny on corruption. Take your pick of the many issues we have raise. Aidan is not going to be a first amendment martyr.
- Replying to @Heather_Nos and @DoctorTurtleboyGood evening folks we have no idea why this appointment was made. However, for once, I'm sure the even the Commonwealth agrees with the TB team wholeheartedly that judge Belezos is above reproach, one of the most highly regarded justices on the Superior Court, and will surely
- Replying to @KyleSharkey8 @DoctorTurtleboy and @suspiciousauceThat is my favorite footnote ever. Just when I thought litigation by NCDAO couldn't get any dumber
- Replying to @KYMaverick1Here's the deal: the feds made a contract with the Comm to give certain materials to them. The Comm cannot abide by that contract because it is unconscionable and against public policy. You can't have an agreement to violate civil rights. Contract void.
- Replying to @KyleSharkey8I will be there today for Lauren.
- Replying to @TheEmilySee @DoctorTurtleboy and 2 othersOMG that is my favorite thing I have seen in a year thanks
- Replying to @BostonDefender and @Megsaladon84David I would've said much the same thing until September 11, 2025. Listen to the recording.
- Replying to @BradlLawPC and @trialjunkiecoleThen they can freeze the location pending the issuance of a search warrant. Any responsible cop would have done a protective sweep in these circumstances hands-down. This should be major cross examination material.
- Replying to @capecawedIt's without prejudice for now so we'll see what happens. I would love to have that plaza filled with her supporters.
- Replying to @brooklyn47361 and @SunnySpirit1919You are correct! We are all under a presumption of innocence that only goes away when the government proves something against us beyond a reasonable doubt. That's pretty much the jury instruction. So let me say it unequivocally: Karen Read is innocent.
