Show Notes
Judge Cannone denied Karen Read's motion to bring in an expert on police procedure to support their "Bowden Defense" (claiming law enforcement didn't properly investigate). The judge stated she hadn't seen this type of expert used in Massachusetts cases. The defense can still use the Bowden Defense, but through questioning witnesses.
The court denied the defense's motion regarding a third-party culprit defense for Colin Albert but allowed it for Brian Albert and Brian Higgins. The judge expressed strong reservations about the Third-Party Culprit Defense, requiring more than "mere or rank speculation." I breakdown the threshold of evidence needed.
