A taillight. A skull fracture. A cannon. The defense calls ARCCA’s Dr. Daniel Wolfe and Dr. Andrew Rentschler to challenge the state’s case with science, testing whether a thrown glass, not a car, caused the damage. Their findings? Not a smoking gun, but maybe a game-changer.Featuring interviews with: Rich Schoenstein---Host: Kristin ThorneWriter & Producer: Cooper MollExecutive Producer: Jessica LowtherEditor: Anna McClainAssociate Producer: Tess Jagger-WellsBooking Producers: Diane Kaye and Alyssa FisherLegal: Stephanie BeachKey Art: Sean PanzeraSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Each testimony adds a new piece to the puzzle, but what is the defense really trying to prove?

Proof vs. Possibility: S2-E6
The prosecution says the data proves it: Karen Read backed into John O’Keefe and left him to die. But the medical examiner still won’t call it a homicide. Now that the prosecution has rested, we break down the Commonwealth’s case; what they showed, what they skipped, and why the defense thinks that silence might speak louder than science.Featuring interviews with: Matt Tympanick, Rich Schoenstein, Ian Runkle, and Naida Rutherford---Host: Kristin ThorneWriter & Producer: Cooper MollExecutive Producer: Jessica LowtherEditor: Anna McClainAssociate Producer: Tess Jagger-WellsBooking Producers: Diane Kaye and Alyssa FisherLegal: Elizabeth VulajKey Art: Sean PanzeraSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Ripples of Doubt: S2-E5
As cracks widen in the Commonwealth’s case, Sgt. Yuri Bukhenik takes the stand…and absorbs the fallout. With key evidence unmeasured, surveillance video reversed, and critical leads ignored, his testimony reveals more than just missteps and mistakes.

Déjà Vu All Over Again: S2-E4
In the third week of Karen Read’s retrial, the prosecution leans on phone logs to frame a timeline and a motive. But the defense counters with science and expert testimony that could dismantle the case entirely. As credibility battles erupt and a controversial trooper looms, the question sharpens: is this justice, or just déjà vu?Featuring interviews with: Matt Tympanick, Rich Schoenstein, and Ian Runkle---Host: Kristin ThorneWriter & Producer: Cooper MollExecutive Producer: Jessica LowtherEditor: Anna McClainAssociate Producer: Tess Jagger-WellsBooking Producers: Diane Kaye and Alyssa FisherLegal: Elizabeth VulajKey Art: Sean PanzeraSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
In Season 1 of KAREN, we unpacked the explosive case of Karen Read, accused of killing her boyfriend, Boston Police Officer John O’Keefe, with her SUV. After the first trial ended in a hung jury, the high-stakes case of Karen Read returns to court—and the pressure has never been greater. In KAREN: THE RETRIAL, we return to the courtroom—where the stakes are higher, the drama is deeper, and the fight for truth is far from over.KAREN: THE RETRIAL isn’t just about the verdict—it’s about power, perception, and who gets to write the story. Investigative Reporter Kristin Thorne is embedded at the heart of the action, bringing exclusive interviews, expert analysis, and real-time reporting from inside the courtroom.With new prosecutors, a relentless defense, and a public obsessed with every twist, we ask: Is Karen Read the victim of a malicious prosecution—or is there finally enough evidence to convict? And in a trial tried as much in the media as in court, how much does the truth even matter? KAREN: THE RETRIAL is your front-row seat to a legal battle where reputations, lives, and the very meaning of justice are on the line.Listen to KAREN: THE RETRIAL exclusively on Wondery+ and follow the show page to keep up on all the latest developments.
