Welcome to the Alternate! This week, Margot recaps week seven of the Sean Combs federal trial. Week 7 also brought closing arguments and when week 8 kicks off we will officially be on verdict watch.  The prosecution said even one freak-off can equate to sex trafficking if coercion was used. The defense argued Cassie and Sean had a traditional love story - albeit plagued by domestic violence - but the group sex - that was consensual and all part of a swingers lifestyle. Who will the jury believe?  The jury will begin deliberations on Monday, June 30th.  Be sure to follow on IG and TT @thealternatepod for live updates! ---- Join our Jury Pool & Get Exclusive Content & Perks: https://www.patreon.com/TheAlternate 👩🏽‍⚖️👩🏼‍⚖️Follow Your Favorite Trial Besties on Social 📹YouTube: @alternatepod  🦋Instagram: @thealternatepod ❤️TikTok: @thealternatepod 💙Facebook: @thealternatepod Follow the podcast for FREE on all podcast platforms! 🍎Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-alternate-inside-americas-biggest-trials/id1806391482  💚Spotify:  https://tr.ee/wxEDQrEJe9  For Business Inquiries: info@thealternatepodcast.com Learn more about your ad choices.

On Day 33, closing arguments concluded a seven-week retrial over the 2022 death of Boston police officer John O’Keefe. Defense attorney Alan Jackson repeatedly asserted, “there was no collision,” arguing the case was tainted by misconduct from lead investigator Michael Proctor, pointing to his inappropriate texts and claiming O’Keefe died inside the house and was dumped outside. Prosecutor Hank Brennan countered that Read, intoxicated, “hit him, then left him to die,” emphasizing SUV data, taillight fragments, and Read’s own statement: “I hit him.” After jury instructions were read, deliberations began Friday afternoon...

On Day 30 of the Karen Read retrial, courtroom tensions rose with gripping testimony from Dr. Elizabeth Laposata, who directly challenged the prosecution’s theory. She asserted that John O’Keefe died from blunt force trauma - not hypothermia - and claimed the injuries resembled animal bites, not taillight shards. Cross-examination grew heated over details, including stomach injuries and audit controversies. Later, biomechanical expert Dr. Andrew Rentschler testified that Reed’s SUV likely didn’t deliver enough force to cause O’Keefe’s fatal injury...

Day 25 of the Karen Read retrial featured intense testimony. Jonathan Demantis, a longtime friend of Trooper Proctor, confirmed Proctor’s firing over crude texts about Read, which the prosecution read aloud, including offensive remarks about her looks and MS. Officer Kelly Dever, a reluctant witness, initially claimed she saw surveillance footage contradicting police accounts but later recanted, citing memory issues. Dr. Marie Russell, an expert in dog bites, testified that John O'Keefe’s injuries resembled canine wounds, not vehicular trauma.

It's Day 24 of the Karen Read retrial, and the defense finally took the stage.
