“John Wasn’t Hit by a Car” is a strawman, not a theory. “Injuries inconsistent with a car strike” gets treated as case-ending but “He died in the house” gets a free pass with no mechanism, no witnesses, no data, and no timeline. That’s not skepticism, it's a double standard. open.substack.com/pub/mabbe8/p/j…

Welcome to Massachusetts, where you can kill a cop with your car, point a gun in a cop's face and pull the trigger, and all you have to do to get away with it is blame the police and hide behind a body-worn camera excuse. You know, because cases haven't been resolved for decades before BWC, right? So now, unless it's on video, then it didn't happen. We live in crazy conspiratorial times with a bored public seeing corruption at every turn, and public officials and judges intimidated by an unhinged mob to make thoughtful decisions to protect the public. SMH

NEW: SIGNAL MESSAGE SHOWS KAREN READ TARGETED SARAH LEVINSON ON THE SAME DAY SHE TARGETED BRIAN HIGGINS On 9/17/2023, eight minutes after Karen Read sent a Signal message to Aidan Kearney stating "in the car with lawyers. Stirring shit up again", Read sent a message to Kearney requesting witness Sarah Levinson's address. Read and her team had left witness Brian Higgins' home minutes before where they had showed up unannounced.

@Suzybeau1 Queue the turtle mob tactics! 1. Assassinate the character of innocent witnesses. I'm pretty sure Justin has not been charged with a crime, right? So tired and predictable. and 2. The "feds" are coming, and Higgins flipped. Oops, wrong case. ha ha ha. Don't hold your breath Suzy.

@mabbe_8 lol 😂 plus facing federal charges . lol 😂

The collateral damage to innocent people knows no bounds with these conspiracy theorists who thrive on "corruption." No one is safe from its effects, and there must be real accountability to put an end to it. Judge Karp had an opportunity to stand up, but he chose the cowardly option. He found both Kelsey and Noonan credible, despite Kelsey lying at least half a dozen times on the stand about issues like gun security, gun locations, and even a dog mentioned in the affidavit. Karp then suggested that if only we had body-worn cameras, things would have been different. However, body-worn cameras are a recent development, and cases have been resolved for decades without them. What a cowardly stance to take.

Elite gaslighting skills. She has to be a #FKR nut. It's all a conspiracy against her, right? "Corrupt judge!" "Something seems off" "so fishy" SMH

@commcenterpod Amen!

To this “witness” and anyone on this platform who passes judgment by dismissively saying, “this seems off” about the words someone uses to describe their defensive actions in an attempt on their life is also a whack job. Likely sheltered & lives on X. Be curious, not judgmental.

Day 2 observations from the Kelsey Fitzsimmons trial Officer Houston came across as very credible today, and what really stood out was how closely his testimony lined up with Lt. Daley’s. The defense, as they should be, is trying to poke holes wherever they can. Instead of inconsistencies, we’re seeing alignment and testimony that reinforces the overall narrative, not weakening it. A few things stuck with me. First, Kelsey not being aware of the TPO is a big deal. She was already in a poor mental state, and that pushed her to another level. When Lt. Daley was explaining the TRO, in her mind Kelsey quickly went to a negative place: she was going to lose everything, her job, Justin, and the baby. Then there’s the fact that she parked about 150 yards away from her own house. That’s just not normal behavior, and it immediately raises the question of why she wouldn’t pull into her own driveway unless there was some intent behind it. The issue with the firearms continues to show that Kelsey was dishonest and deceptive with officers as more testimony comes in. Kelsey claimed the guns were secured, but that’s clearly not true. They were accessible, and there were multiple empty gun cases scattered around the house, which paints a very different picture of the situation. On top of that, the claim about a gun safe in the basement wasn't truthful. There is no safe down there, and none of the firearms were stored in the basement. That's deceptive and directly contradicts what she told officers. There were also details that speak to her mindset and movements leading up to everything. Testimony that she drove by Hunter’s house suggests she may have been looking for Justin, which adds context to what was going on that day. And when you hear that Justin felt unsafe, and even the responding officers felt unsafe, that carries real weight. These are people assessing the situation in real time, and they’re all coming to the same conclusion about the level of risk. Her behavior when police was also telling. Instead of a straightforward interaction, it sounded like she was trying to control the scene, holding the baby, moving the carrier around, and attempting to redirect officers by sending them on errands. It felt more like someone trying to manage the scene and keep attention away from certain things, like guns. When you look at all the testimony and evidence and look at it all together in totality, Day 2 didn’t introduce confusion; it actually clarified things. The testimony is lining up, the inconsistencies in Kelsey’s account are becoming harder to ignore, and the overall picture is coming into focus in a pretty compelling way.

A must-read! Don't get it twisted, I've followed true crime for years and still do. But the level of absurdity today is next level. It goes beyond speculation to outright finger-pointing, causing reputational damage to the individuals under attack and extending to their friends and families. Look no further than what happened in the #KarenRead case and the use of #Turtleboy to discredit and ruin the lives of innocent witnesses whom Karen drew into he web and then blamed for the death that she was responsible for. "True crime creation was once a fringe corner of the internet, but with the growth of podcasts, YouTube, and other digital media, fly‑by‑night and shoestring operations are increasingly commanding the attention of tens of thousands — in some cases, millions — of people a week. While they clearly occupy the space mainstream journalism once held alone and benefit from its protections, it’s clear that creators and fans who go viral are unprepared for what is increasingly coming their way."

@sbpj1313 @dick_hertz19234 Correct. The Noonan cross is today (day 2), and that was a typo. I meant to write cross of the witnesses.

@mabbe_8 @dick_hertz19234 I thought Noonan is being crossed this morning?

Top 10 observations from Day 1 of the #KelseyFitzsimmons trial 1. Kelsey lied to the police that the guns were secured in a safe in the basement. There was no safe in the basement, and the guns were stored upstairs in a bedroom. Her ex-fiancé, Justin, confirmed this in his testimony. 2. This is important and critical because officers were there specifically to remove firearms as part of a restraining order. If the location of the weapons was intentional decieptive, that is not a small detail. It goes directly to intent. 3. The sequence of events that day is hard to ignore. Justin had just obtained an emergency restraining order and repeatedly warned the police that Kelsey could be dangerous. He even told law enforcement she might try to harm officers, him, or the baby. 4. Officer Noonan’s account is consistent across the board. He says she pointed a firearm at him, pulled the trigger, and then tried to rack a round. That is a deadly force scenario by definition. 5. Multiple officers heard him yelling “don’t do it” right before shots were fired. That aligns with a last-second attempt to de-escalate, not a panic reaction. 6. Officer Noonan has decades of experience in high-stress scenarios – SWAT, stress shooting, and emergency response. He is trained for exactly this type of situation. Shoot-or-don’t-shoot decisions under stress are literally what officers he was trained for. The idea that he just panicked doesn’t hold up. 7. Officer Noonan's defense cross by Bradl was rough to watch. It didn’t shake his account, and if anything, reinforced his training and credibility. 8. This is a bench trial. There is no jury. So who exactly is the performance for? If your arguments are not landing with the judge, theatrics are not going to save you. If this is Bradl’s best, then Aidan Kearny has to be very nervous right now. 9. The broader pattern of behavior leading up to this is troubling. There are documented claims of erratic behavior, violence, threats, and attempts to lure Justin back to the house. 10. The one thing that does stand out on the police side is how much freedom she was given inside the house. Because they knew her and she was a fellow police officer, Kelsey was allowed to move around the home collecting items. In hindsight, that created risk. Given what was known, tighter control may have prevented everything that followed.

@Cyngilanyi He didn't. The Noonan cross is today (day 2), and that was a typo. I meant to write cross of the witnesses.

@mabbe_8 We have not gotten to the cross of noonan on day one so how can that be part of of your observation!!!

@Randall145695 He didn't. The Noonan cross is today (day 2), and that was a typo. I meant to write cross of the witnesses. Bradl was terrible yesterday. I had never seen him in action other than court steps and don't know if he had a bad day or if he's not very good. We'll see today!

@mabbe_8 Did Bradl cross him yet? I thought they ended for the day after the prosecution finished direct.

@S0B0MA It's s evidence and I know that doesn't matter to you all. Stay ignorant!

@mabbe_8 Nah. Nobody bought that story either.

Mythbusting Friday: #FKR Edition In the retrial, no defense phone forensics expert testified that a 2:27 a.m. search occurred. No one presented that claim to the jury under oath. The idea survived only outside the courtroom, where it could not be subjected to cross-examination or bound by evidentiary rules. Courtrooms are where theories either stand up or fall apart. It’s where experts are sworn in, claims must be supported by evidence, and ambiguity is exposed very quickly. The 2:27 search narrative could survive social media, content creators, and Lawtubers. But it could not survive sworn testimony.

@Do93095Mc When you post this I know I've won the debate. Thank you!

@mabbe_8 “Not guilty”

John wasn't hit by a car in the traditional sense; he wasn't facing the oncoming vehicle. Instead, he was partially clipped off of his center of mass. This initial impact didn't cause his death. However, the subsequent impact of his head hitting the frozen ground resulted in a brain injury due to coup-contrecoup. His brain literally shifted in his skull and he had a suffered a brain bleed. The blood pooled in his eyes causing raccoon eyes. Medically, this is known as ecchymosis. It's all there! You just have to follow the evidence and no rumor, speculation, and innuendo.

John O’Keefe wasn’t hit by an SUV. That was what trial 2 was focused on. It was never the defenses job to prove what Jen McCabe did. We all know what she did. The fact remains John O’Keefe wasnt hit by a car and the prosecution couldn’t convict Karen despite two bites at the apple.

I feel that way about you, hun. Read the phone data, it's impossible for 227a to be a Google search becasue it was stored in the BrowserState.db. If it were a real Google search, it would be in the History.db file. Data doesn't lie; people do. mabbe8.substack.com/p/the-227-sear… In the retrial, no defense phone forensics expert testified that a 2:27 a.m. search occurred.

@mabbe_8 Maybe you need to watch the entire trial, you obviously missed or misunderstood some critical testimony

FKR Mythbusting: Thursday Edition The SERT Team and First Responders Did you know that the feds didn’t subpoena the SERT team or the first responders? That fact, on its own, should raise eyebrows about the USAO's impartiality. If there were truly a conspiracy, those two groups would be essential to pulling it all together. They would bookend the entire event. First responders arrive first, then SERT closes the scene by processing it. If anything was staged or planted, it would have required coordination among both groups, the house guests, and the Mass State Police. Fun fact: Proctor and Yuri weren’t even assigned the case for several hours. So who coordinated this supposed cover-up in the early morning? There would have had to be real-time communication between the house guests and first responders, right? More fun facts: The feds seized 5 years of personal iCloud data from all the house guests and Proctor. But no evidence of any coordination or frame-up against Karen was found. Just mean texts... that weren't too far off base, but that's a post for another day. This begs the question: if the taillight was planted, then Proctor would have had to loop in SERT to execute it, right? That’s not a small ask, and it would be proof of a multi-department conspiracy between officers who don't know each other and in a very narrow time window during a blizzard while being filmed by local news stations who were livestreaming the search. So why didn’t the feds even talk to them? No subpoenas, no deep dive, nothing. That silence is telling.

@MLinskyRealty This is what happens when you only watch the defense parts of the trial. You missed more than half of the trial. While you're at it, watch an episode of Whiffin debunk 227a, the stairs, and that John went into 34 Fairview Road.

@mabbe_8 I'll rewatch tonight, I don't recall that or the context, will respond ... you'd have a lot more to establish to claim conspiracy debunked though ... stay tuned !

@ItsBig_Earl @MichaelCol43808 Now that was funny 🤣🤣🤣

@mabbe_8 @MichaelCol43808 You don’t pass the fuckin sniff test, dingleberry.

#FKR is rallying around #KelseyFitzsimmons, why? As usual, let’s look at the facts, not the fanfic. Officer Patrick Noonan wasn’t responding to a stranger that night. This wasn’t some unknown suspect on a dark street. This was Kelsey Fitzsimmons, someone he worked with, someone he knew, someone he had an existing relationship with inside the same department. These are people who see each other regularly, rely on each other, and build a level of trust that most of us outside of law enforcement don’t fully understand. They literally trust each other with their lives every day. So ask yourself, what possible reason would he have to shoot her if he didn’t genuinely believe he had no other choice in that moment? There is no upside for him here. Zero. He gains nothing from this. Instead, he gets years of scrutiny, investigations, second-guessing, and a permanent scarlet letter tied to his name. That’s the reality of an officer-involved shooting, especially when it involves someone from your own department. If anything, the personal connection would make someone hesitate more, not less. And that’s what makes this so important. You have a situation where he is yelling for her to stop, where multiple people hear urgent commands right before the shots, and then, in a split second, he fires. That doesn’t sound like someone looking to escalate. It sounds like someone reacting to what he believed was an immediate and deadly threat. At the end of the day, this really comes down to which version of events makes more sense. Either he suddenly decided, for no reason at all, to shoot a fellow officer he knew and worked with, or he saw something in that moment that made him believe he was about to be killed. When you strip everything else away, the answer to that question isn’t nearly as complicated as people are trying to make it.

@ItsBig_Earl @MichaelCol43808 Says who? And why would he panic? He's a trained law enforcement officer and her friend. Doesn't pass the sniff test.

@mabbe_8 @MichaelCol43808 Because he saw a gun and panicked.

@ItsBig_Earl That's a ton of assumptions. Justin told the police that she wouldn't take teh TRO well and had threatened to kill him, the baby, and herself. How do we know that wasn't her plan, and it would start with Noonan?

@mabbe_8 Judging by the fact he shot his former coworker, and that she was pointing the gun at herself….it would make any sane, logical person think okay this cop just saw GUN and panicked. Lied about the door, then had to say doorframe when it was revealed there was no bedroom door.
