True Crime Today | A True Crime Podcast - A podcast by Real Story Media

In this episode of "Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski," defense attorney Bob Motta discusses the upcoming civil case against Karen Read, which is being pursued by the family of John O'Keefe. The civil suit comes in addition to Read's criminal retrial set for January and focuses on dram shop laws and claims of emotional distress due to conspiracy theories allegedly promoted by Read. Motta explains that the timing of the civil suit is likely due to the statute of limitations nearing its end. He highlights that both sides will engage in discovery, which could include depositions potentially impacting the criminal trial if any significant evidence emerges. The discussion also covers the complexities of civil litigation, such as the role of insurance coverage and the potential for delays in the discovery process until after the criminal trial concludes. Motta emphasizes the strategic legal maneuvers both parties might employ and the uncertainties surrounding the outcome of the civil case. - Karen Read faces both a criminal retrial and a civil case brought by John O'Keefe's family. - The civil suit involves dram shop laws and allegations of emotional distress caused by conspiracy theories. - The statute of limitations for the civil suit was nearing its end, prompting its filing. - Discovery in the civil case, including depositions, could impact the criminal trial if significant evidence is uncovered. - Civil litigation complexities, including potential delays and insurance coverage issues, are discussed. - Motta notes the possibility of strategic legal moves, including delaying depositions until after the criminal trial. - The outcome of the civil case remains uncertain, depending on the legal strategies employed and the evidence presented. #KarenRead #JohnOKeefe #CivilCase #DramShopLaw #EmotionalDistress #LegalStrategy #DiscoveryProcess Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?
