In a recent episode of "Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski," retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke, former Chief of the Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program, discusses key moments from the Karen Read trial, focusing on Brian Albert's testimony regarding his cell phone. Dreeke critiques the defense's efforts to paint Albert's phone upgrade as suspicious, noting that people often upgrade phones for various personal reasons unrelated to criminal activity. He emphasizes the importance of context and how the defense's narrative might not resonate with the jury. The conversation shifts to the impact of the "Free Karen Read" movement led by bloggers who harass witnesses and families involved in the case, creating a toxic environment. Dreeke analyzes this behavior, likening it to a cult, driven by a need to belong to a meaningful group and fueled by anti-cop sentiment. He describes these individuals as "wound collectors" who objectify others, seeing the world negatively and projecting their anger and vitriol. Dreeke predicts that this behavior will continue, with these individuals moving on to other causes once the trial concludes.
