Karen Read Free Zone – no longer

If you have to read just one article about the Karen Read trial, make it Beth Teitell’s piece this morning in the Globe. It captures the complete zaniness surrounding the case. The KR drama long ago zoomed past the issue of Karen Read’s guilt or innocence. It’s entered its very own cult and conspiracy-theory territory, a mental zone for the obsessed, starring one of the greatest cast of Boston characters ever assembled in and out of a courtroom. … Fyi: With the start of the second KR trial, I was thinking of declaring Hub Blog a Karen Read Free Zone. But that was before reading Beth’s piece. … I promise: I won’t get sucked into the case. Even though she’s obviously guilty. I mean, just look at her. Can’t you see? She’s guilty!
