Was Sandra Birchmore’s tragic end truly a suicide, or does it point to something far more sinister? In this episode, Tony Brueski and former prosecutor Eric Faddis delve into the murky circumstances surrounding the 23-year-old’s death, examining evidence against her alleged abuser, former police officer Matthew Farwell, who is caught on video entering her apartment shortly before her death. The conversation unveils disturbing details of a supposed "ring" of individuals in positions of authority who allegedly manipulated and mistreated Sandra from a young age. Adding complexity, Canton officials are now enlisting external auditors to probe potential misconduct and hidden truths within the police department. With accusations of a cover-up and the FBI now involved, the questions grow even darker: will justice finally be served, or will Sandra’s story be buried under red tape?

Will An Audit Help Clean Up The Canton PD In Light Of Read & Birchmore Cases?
Could a police department allegedly cover up the murder of a young woman to protect its own officers? The death of Sandra Birchmore, originally labeled as a suicide, has since unraveled into a chilling narrative implicating members of the Canton Police Department. Allegations suggest that one officer, Matthew Farwell, began grooming her when she was just 12 years old, while others allegedly exploited her after she turned 18. With an audit now underway to dig deep into the department's practices, one wonders: will this probe uncover the full extent of misconduct, or will more disturbing secrets stay hidden in the shadows?

Psychotherapist and author Shavaun Scott joins the discussion, offering insight into the psychological screening methods—or lack thereof—used for officers, and whether such assessments could ever truly flag someone capable of such heinous behavior. Are manipulative tendencies and moral failings detectable in pre-employment tests, or can some simply slip through the cracks? Should those entrusted to protect our most vulnerable, like school resource officers, face the same rigorous evaluations required of nuclear plant workers?

If psych testing could save lives, why don’t we use it more? And more importantly, would it even work?

Both the prosecution and defense in Karen Read's high-profile criminal case have requested additional time to prepare for the upcoming second trial. In a joint filing on Monday, they asked the judge to reschedule the trial from January 27 to April 1, allowing both sides “adequate time” to prepare.

Read, 44, from Mansfield, faces accusations of striking her boyfriend, Boston Police Officer John O'Keefe, with her SUV outside a Canton residence and leaving him in severe winter conditions following a night out. According to court records, the alleged incident occurred on January 29, 2022, following visits to two Canton bars, C.F. McCarthy's and Waterfall Bar & Grille.

The first trial, which concluded in July, resulted in a hung jury, unable to reach a unanimous decision on the charges against Read. As she awaits her second trial, Read is also seeking to have certain charges dismissed by the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court (SJC), which will hear oral arguments in the appeal this week.

The initial trial highlighted numerous complications for the prosecution, including questionable conduct from a Massachusetts State Police trooper involved in the investigation. In what the trooper’s department called a "very regrettable" instance, inappropriate messages were exchanged, leading to the trooper's suspension and triggering internal affairs investigations for other officers. Additionally, Read’s defense questioned the circumstances surrounding damage to her SUV, with concerns raised over surveillance footage that allegedly showed the vehicle’s state in an inverted orientation.

Special Assistant District Attorney Hank Brennan, appointed by Norfolk District Attorney Michael W. Morrissey to handle the retrial, requested court approval on Friday to reassemble and analyze the telematics system in Read's vehicle. According to the prosecution, the SUV’s telematics could provide critical data, including GPS locations, speed, and engine status, to clarify the sequence of events surrounding O'Keefe's death.

In Monday’s filing, Brennan's team disclosed that they have enlisted additional expert witnesses, including a biomechanical engineer, who are expected to analyze and testify regarding key evidence. The addition of these experts, Brennan argued, will necessitate more time to generate comprehensive reports. The defense, too, emphasized the need for time to review and respond to these findings.

On the civil front, O'Keefe's family filed a lawsuit in August against Read and the two bars visited on the night of the incident. In that case, a judge recently granted a six-month stay on Read’s deposition and discovery requirements, delaying them until after her second criminal trial.

With both the prosecution and defense aligning in their request, the decision now rests with the judge. As this legal battle continues, both sides are working to address gaps exposed during the first trial in an effort to present a more robust case when they reconvene in April.

Karen Read, charged twice in the death of Boston Police Officer John O’Keefe, has opened up about her ongoing legal battle, strained personal life, and unyielding quest for justice in an interview with *Vanity Fair*. Speaking to reporter Julie Miller, who was granted unrestricted access, Read shared insights into her life since O’Keefe’s death and the impact of her highly publicized case.

In what Vanity Fair described as a series of candid, in-home interviews, Read, 44, invited Miller to her former Mansfield residence in August. Read opened up about her relationship with O’Keefe, her pending retrial, and the toll her legal battles have taken. Miller reported that Read, who has been staying with family and friends, chose her previous home as the setting for the interviews. She was joined by a volunteer security guard, described by Miller as someone “who looks like John Cena and has a license to carry.”

Facing an uncertain future, Read has prepared for the possibility of another arrest, keeping a Ziploc “go bag” on hand with essentials: Advil, melatonin, a toothbrush and toothpaste, a hairbrush, lipstick, and foundation, as well as her lawyer’s phone number.

“I’m not backing down now,” Read told Vanity Fair, despite the looming prospect of a life sentence if convicted. According to Read, she won’t entertain the idea of a plea deal, even under the risk of severe penalties. “As scary as a potential conviction is, I will go to jail for something I didn’t do before I plea out. I will never give them that win.”

Read, a former Fidelity Investments analyst and Bentley University finance professor, has assembled a team of criminal defense attorneys, but the cost of her legal defense has been steep. She has sold her home to offset expenses and is now living off the remains of her 401(k), accruing more than $5 million in legal fees. “If I can get the entire truth of this case out in the public forum, that, to me, is priceless,” she said.

At the core of her defense are allegations that O’Keefe, her boyfriend of two years, was the victim of a violent cover-up involving other Boston police officers. Prosecutors argue that Read deliberately ran him over in her SUV after an evening out on January 29, 2022, a claim her defense refutes, asserting that O’Keefe was beaten by others. In July, her case resulted in a mistrial, and her legal team has appealed to Massachusetts’ Supreme Judicial Court to dismiss two of the charges ahead of a scheduled retrial in January.

Reflecting on her relationship with O’Keefe, Read described challenges in their dynamic, with disagreements over his role as a disciplinarian for his niece and nephew, who lived with him. According to Read, O’Keefe struggled to mourn his late sister, the children’s mother, and remained hesitant about seeking therapy. “I think that’s part of his stock,” Read told Vanity Fair, “this Irish Catholic, south-of-Boston, rub-some-dirt-on-it, drink-through-your-problems mindset.”

In detailing the night of O’Keefe’s death, Read recalled attending a gathering at the Waterfall Bar & Grille in Canton, after which she and O’Keefe joined others at an afterparty. Feeling uneasy upon arrival, she sent O’Keefe inside, only to leave after he didn’t return. She admitted to a fleeting thought that he might be “screwing around,” explaining, “I didn’t think he was physically incapacitated.” She left him multiple voicemails before heading home.

Prosecutors, who highlight Read’s flirty exchanges with O’Keefe’s acquaintance Brian Higgins, argue that these interactions hint at motives for the crime. In response, Read openly admitted to seeking validation from Higgins. “I knew Higgins found me attractive,” she said, “It helped me emotionally validate myself, which is embarrassing to admit.”

Amid the stress of her case, Read has remained steadfast about her innocence. Addressing rumors that she implicated herself in texts, she explained to Vanity Fair that she and her attorney, David Yannetti, only began communicating after police seized her phone. She said she initially told her parents, “If I did anything in any way, I’ll pay my dues. That’s how this should work. I want to know the truth — good, bad, ugly.”

Read’s retrial is set to bring her story back into the public eye, with high stakes and public scrutiny on both her legal and personal lives.

Man Faces Charges in “Duckgate” Scandal Linked to Karen Read Case
A Massachusetts man is facing criminal charges after allegedly distributing rubber ducks and fake $100 bills in support of Karen Read, a woman accused of killing her boyfriend, Boston Police Officer John O’Keefe. Richard Schiffer Jr., 65, has been charged with witness intimidation, criminal harassment, and littering, according to Stoughton District Court. The incidents, some locals are calling "Duckgate," have sparked controversy in the Boston suburb of Canton, where the case has divided the community.

Schiffer is accused of leaving rubber ducks and counterfeit bills near homes and businesses connected to witnesses in Read's case, which has attracted a fervent group of supporters. Read, 44, of Mansfield, is accused of striking O'Keefe with her SUV outside a Canton home on January 29, 2022, and leaving him to die in a snowstorm after a night of drinking. O’Keefe’s body was found the next morning outside the home of a fellow Boston police officer.

Read has pleaded not guilty, and her defense team argues that she was framed as part of a conspiracy to protect individuals who were present at the home that night. They claim O’Keefe was fatally beaten, and his body was left outside to divert suspicion onto Read. Her first trial ended in a mistrial in July 2023 after the jury was deadlocked. Judge Beverly Cannone, who oversaw that trial, will return to the bench for Read's second trial, scheduled for early next year. Cannone rejected the defense's request to drop certain charges, and that decision is now being appealed to the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court.

In addition to overseeing the retrial, Cannone will also rule on recent requests by Special Assistant District Attorney Hank Brennan, who was appointed to lead the case last month. Brennan has asked for court authorization to reassemble and retest electronics from Read's SUV, seeking more evidence before the retrial. He has also requested cellphone records for William Read, Karen Read’s father, and records related to a 2023 local media interview the Read family gave about the case.

Schiffer, who admits to distributing rubber ducks and fake $100 bills, claims his actions are protected under the First Amendment. "Through the First Amendment and my right to free speech, I expressed my opinion and belief that Karen Read is innocent," Schiffer wrote in an online fundraiser seeking help with his legal fees. Schiffer’s attorney has not yet been listed in court records, and CNN has reached out to him for comment.

The rubber ducks reportedly reference a comment made by Read's defense attorney, Alan Jackson, during a pre-trial hearing, when he said, "If it walks like a duck and talks like a duck, it’s a duck." Police claim Schiffer used these ducks to harass witnesses by implying they could not "duck the truth" about O'Keefe's death. Surveillance footage, traffic cameras, and witness testimony were used to link Schiffer to the incidents.

The first incident occurred in March 2023, when fake $100 bills were found near D&E Pizza & Subs in Canton, a restaurant owned by a relative of the homeowner where O’Keefe’s body was discovered. Over the next several months, more fake bills and rubber ducks appeared near O'Keefe’s home, two bars he visited before his death, and outside homes of other witnesses. Some of the ducks carried stickers implicating a family member of the property owner where O'Keefe was found, and the fake bills bore the message “Justice for BPO John O’Keefe.”

In May, investigators executed a search warrant on Schiffer’s Toyota Tundra and found rubber ducks and stickers inside the vehicle. Rubber ducks were also discovered outside the home of Massachusetts State Police Trooper Michael Proctor, the lead investigator in the case. Proctor has been accused of mishandling the investigation, and after Read’s first trial, he was suspended from the force without pay following revelations of inappropriate comments he made about Read in a private group chat with colleagues.

Schiffer, however, maintains that his actions were peaceful and lawful expressions of his belief that Read is innocent. "Charging innocent citizens with manufactured crimes is weaponizing our justice system to silence law-abiding citizens," Schiffer wrote in a second online fundraiser.

As Read’s retrial approaches, the case continues to gain national attention, and the community remains divided. Schiffer's criminal charges could carry serious consequences, with witness intimidation alone carrying a potential 10-year prison sentence. Despite this, Schiffer shows no signs of backing down, asserting that he will continue to advocate for Read’s innocence as she prepares to stand trial again in January.

Attorneys from the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) of Massachusetts have submitted an amicus brief to the Supreme Judicial Court (SJC) of Massachusetts in support of Karen Read’s ongoing legal battle. Read, a former adjunct professor from Mansfield, is appealing to have two charges dismissed in her murder case. The ACLU’s brief was accepted by the court but did not immediately reveal their stance or include a summary of their position.

Karen Read faces accusations related to the death of Boston police officer John O’Keefe, who prosecutors claim was struck by Read's SUV and left to die in the snow following a night out in Canton. Read, however, maintains her innocence, contending that O’Keefe was assaulted inside the house of another Boston officer, Brian Albert, before being left outside. Her first trial ended in a mistrial after the jury, comprising six men and six women, reached a deadlock. Some jurors have since come forward, stating they had reached a consensus to acquit her of the charges of second-degree murder and leaving the scene.

Following the mistrial, Read's defense sought to have these two charges dismissed. Judge Beverly Cannone denied this motion, leading to the appeal now before the SJC. Read’s legal team contends that the jury’s alleged agreement should constitute an acquittal on these counts and argues that protections against double jeopardy should prevent a retrial on the charges.

“The court relied solely upon the lack of an ‘open and public verdict affirmed in open court,’” the defense wrote, referencing Judge Cannone’s decision. “This reasoning is rooted in a formalism that has been consistently rejected by the United States Supreme Court and this Court in a string of precedents spanning more than one hundred years.”

The defense also believes that the Supreme Judicial Court should allow a post-trial inquiry into the jury’s statements, which they argue constitutes an “overt factor” that should prompt further investigation. Additionally, they are questioning Judge Cannone’s decision to declare a mistrial when she did, given the alleged consensus from the jurors.

District Attorney Michael Morrissey, responding to the appeal, has appointed Attorney Hank Brennan as special prosecutor for Read’s case. Brennan, known for his work in other high-profile cases, will lead the prosecution when Read’s second trial, currently scheduled for January 27, begins. The Norfolk District Attorney’s Office stated that their response to Read’s appeal will be submitted by the court's deadline, with Read's attorneys expected to reply shortly after.

Should the  Supreme Judicial Court side with Read’s defense and dismiss the charges, it would mark a significant development in a case that has drawn extensive public and media attention. If the charges are upheld, Read faces up to life in prison for second-degree murder, as well as significant penalties on charges of manslaughter while operating under the influence and leaving the scene of a personal injury and death.

Throughout the trial, prosecutors faced setbacks, including complications with surveillance footage and misconduct among investigators, which has contributed to the intense scrutiny of the case. The defense has also raised these issues in their appeal, seeking to underscore what they argue are critical flaws in the prosecution's case.

With oral arguments scheduled to take place before the SJC, Read and her legal team are preparing for a pivotal hearing that could determine the course of the upcoming trial. For now, the court's decision will hinge on whether the defense’s arguments regarding jury consensus, double jeopardy, and procedural conduct are persuasive enough to merit the dismissal of charges or, at the very least, a re-evaluation of the trial’s conduct.

Karen Read, the Massachusetts woman accused of killing her boyfriend, Boston police officer John O’Keefe, in 2022, is attempting to delay a wrongful death lawsuit filed by O'Keefe’s family until after her criminal trial. Read faces a second trial for second-degree murder and other charges in January, after her initial trial ended in a mistrial three months ago.

According to documents filed by her attorneys, the civil suit should be postponed until the criminal case concludes to avoid compromising her Fifth Amendment rights. The wrongful death lawsuit also names Waterfall Bar & Grill and C.F. McCarthy’s as defendants, alleging they continued to serve Read alcohol on the night of the incident, despite her visible intoxication.

The lawsuit claims that Read backed her SUV into O’Keefe during a snowstorm and left him outside, where he later succumbed to his injuries. Read’s criminal trial in July ended in a mistrial after jurors could not reach a verdict on a manslaughter charge but agreed to acquit her on charges of second-degree murder and leaving the scene. “My best guess right now is they will dispense with the first argument pretty quickly,” Suffolk University law professor Chris Dearborn commented on the upcoming appeal. “The second argument… is the one I think has a little more promise.”

In the lead-up to the retrial, Read’s legal team is set to argue before the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court in hopes of having two charges dismissed, including the second-degree murder charge. This appeal could have significant repercussions for the January trial date, especially if the court takes months to reach a decision. “I don’t know if that is fair to either side,” Dearborn said, noting the challenges of preparing for trial amid ongoing legal uncertainties.

Meanwhile, the decision to bring in special prosecutor Hank Brennan, who previously represented mobster James “Whitey” Bulger, has sparked interest. Brennan’s involvement is seen by some, including Dearborn, as an effort to underscore the prosecution’s commitment to a rigorous and ethical handling of the case. “I think this is the DA Morrissey trying to send a message to everybody that we don’t want anyone to think there is anything going on here that is untoward or not ethical,” Dearborn explained.

With these pending legal battles, both criminal and civil, and heightened media scrutiny, the case continues to captivate Massachusetts and beyond, as Read faces another showdown in court on January 27.

Karen Read, Susan Birchmore, Ana Walshe, And The Trooper Proctor Connection
What do Karen Read, Sandra Birchmore, and Ana Walsh have in common? Well, besides the fact that all of their cases seem to revolve around some highly questionable police work, there's also a connection to one investigator whose involvement is raising more than a few eyebrows—Michael Proctor. Brian Walsh, accused of killing his wife, Ana, may have done all the Googling a killer could do, but with Proctor tangled up in multiple cases, his defense is banking on some "Proctor magic" to throw things off. But is this officer's shady reputation enough to muddy the waters and potentially let a guilty man go free? Or will the dumb decisions of everyone involved just blow up in their faces? And seriously, what kind of investigator has a track record like this?

Michael Proctor, How A Single Crooked Officer Could Cause So Much Chaos In Three Murder Cases
Was a police officer really protecting the public—or himself—when he declared Sandra Birchmore's death a suicide? This episode takes a hard look at the twisted and tragic story of Sandra Birchmore, who, as a 12-year-old girl, sought guidance through the Stoughton, Massachusetts police explorer program. Instead, she found herself preyed upon by the very people meant to protect her—the alleged Farwell brothers and a school resource officer, who passed her around in a sickening game of abuse. Add in the involvement of Trooper Michael Proctor, the first officer on the scene, who not only signed off on Birchmore’s “suicide” but also had his hands in other questionable cases, including that of Anna Walsh and Karen Read. When the same officer seems to be at the center of multiple controversial investigations, what’s really going on behind the badge?
