Defense Attorney Bob Motta On What He Would Tell Karen Read If He Were Her Attorney

True Crime Today | A True Crime Podcast

In this episode of "Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski," defense attorney Bob Motta discusses the complexities surrounding the Karen Read case, which ended in a mistrial. Motta advises that Read should stay away from public statements and media appearances to avoid further complicating her case. He criticizes the defense's strategy of publicly revealing their entire theory, which he believes limited their flexibility. Motta highlights the credibility of Dr. Andrew Rentschler, an independent witness hired by the DOJ, as crucial to the case. The conversation underscores the challenges of proving whether Read hit the victim and the difficulties in finding an unbiased jury for a retrial in Massachusetts. Motta reflects on the persistent uncertainties in the case and compares it to the difficulty of sequels living up to the original, suggesting that the result of a retrial may remain inconclusive.
