Forensic testimony has now delivered a devastating blow to Karen Read’s defense—black box data confirms her Lexus SUV reversed at 74% throttle, hitting nearly 24 mph directly in front of the home where John O’Keefe was later found dead. But will the jury connect the mechanical facts with intent? In this episode, psychotherapist Shavaun Scott joins to analyze the psychological disconnect between factual data and emotional persuasion. Why do juries sometimes resist overwhelming evidence? How might Karen Read’s stoic courtroom behavior influence interpretation of that data? And what does it say about our collective understanding of guilt when the proof is digital, not emotional?
