Canton Conspiracy: S1-E3

Law&Crime | Wondery
About this episode

Karen Read’s defense attorneys scramble for an alternate theory as to how John O’Keefe could have met his tragic fate. Then, an anonymous tip comes in from a seemingly viable source claiming John was beaten and left for dead in the Alberts’ home on January 29th, 2022. And, Karen’s lawyers aren’t the only people who begin chasing the lead. With the unexpected help of a local blogger, a solid argument gains traction: Karen Read has been framed in an elaborate police cover-up. The theory catches on and has serious consequences.
