From Bias to Breakdown: How the Karen Read Defense Strategy Is Falling Apart in Court

From Bias to Breakdown: How the Karen Read Defense Strategy Is Falling Apart in Court



Defense strategies in high-profile trials often walk a tightrope—but in the Karen Read case, that tightrope may be unraveling. In this episode, FBI Special Agent (Ret.) Jennifer Coffindaffer joins Tony Brueski to break down the visible cracks in Read’s defense.



From the moment a former witness testified that Read’s legal team pressured her to lie under oath—to the now infamous “dog bite” theory with no DNA, no saliva, and no dog hair—this defense is beginning to look less like strategy and more like scrambling. We also discuss the public spectacle surrounding the case: media manipulation, defense-friendly bloggers, and the emotional echo chamber swirling around the courtroom.



Coffindaffer gives us insight into how federal prosecutors identify when a defense is spinning out, what it looks like when a narrative fails to hold under pressure, and what happens when credibility collapses in front of a jury.
