Karen Read Says She’s “Framed For Murder...

STEPHANIE SOO
About this episode

Karen Read claims she did not kill her boyfriend. She dropped him off at a friend’s house for a party and he was found the next morning, deceased on the front lawn. 


 

The party goers say that he never came inside which has everyone believing Karen Read ran him over with her car. 


 

But she says that never happened. 

Then how do you explain the 40+ pieces of HER car tail light that were found at the scene?


 

Well, it’s simple. 

She says she was framed. For murder. 


 

Those tail light pieces were allegedly planted by shady cops that want her to go down. 

Law enforcement disagree, providing video evidence that nobody touched her car and nobody could have ever placed tail light pieces at the scene. Nobody believes Karen Read.


 

Until it’s revealed that the so called CCTV footage from inside the police station… is altered.
