In a dramatic twist to the Karen Read saga, four witnesses have decided to take legal action against Read and blogger Aidan Kearney, known as Turtleboy. Jennifer McCabe, Brian Albert, Colin Albert, and Brian Higgins have filed a lawsuit in Massachusetts, alleging that Read and Kearney conspired to frame them for the murder of Boston police officer John O\u2019Keefe.<\/p>\n
The lawsuit claims that Read and Kearney worked together to spread a deliberate web of lies, attempting to shift blame away from Read after O\u2019Keefe was found dead outside a home in January 2022. The witnesses allege that this smear campaign has caused immense suffering and torn their community apart.<\/p>\n
Kearney, who has been investigating the case for three years, has pushed back against the allegations. He claims that he and millions of others believe that others are responsible for O\u2019Keefe\u2019s death. Kearney argues that while the Norfolk County District Attorney and the Massachusetts State Police spent millions to convict Read, they failed twice when juries rejected the Commonwealth\u2019s claim that Read was responsible.<\/p>\n
Kearney is confident that he has uncovered evidence pointing to other suspects and looks forward to explaining his findings in court.<\/p>\n
The witnesses, in a joint statement, say they have spent years dealing with relentless false accusations, harassment, and intimidation. They are now asking a judge to hold Read and Kearney accountable and demand significant damages, including punitive damages, to compensate for the harm caused.<\/p>\n
Read was initially charged with O\u2019Keefe\u2019s murder but was acquitted at retrial after a mistrial in her first trial. Her defense famously argued that she was the victim of a sweeping police cover-up, pointing to close ties between law enforcement and the witnesses now suing her.<\/p>\n
