About this listen

 This podcast is made for True Crime & Justice Junkies. We go through the court documents, analyze the evidence, watch the trials, break everything down, research it, talk to the experts, and then present it all as a compelling story from start to finish. Season 1: Mainstream media only gives you bits and pieces of the story, but 13th Juror gives it all. Each story takes a current or recent case that has made headlines, and we give insight into the victim, the crime, and the pursuit of justice. Some stories will be told start to finish in one episode, others dive a little deeper and will be presented in a short series. Season 2: "Conspiracy in Canton" episodes include a deep dive into the controversial case of Karen Read- a woman arrested and charged with the murder of her boyfriend, Boston police officer John O'Keefe in January 2022. The prosecution says she hit John with her car and left him to die in the cold, however Karen's attorneys are alleging there's a coverup involving multiple law enforcement agencies. Every new piece of information brings new questions, and nothing is what it seems. The controversy stretches outward to law enforcement, officials, even the reporters covering the case, and each side accuses the other of a conspiracy. The first trial ended in a hung jury, and as the new trial approaches, the case seems to get wilder and wilder. Exclusive Interviews: The audio versions of interviews Brandi has done with some of the top names in the true crime and legal world.

    Week 9—After 36 days, the second trial of Karen Read has come to an end, but what did the jury ultimately decide?

    It's one of the most polarizing cases in true crime history, and the 2nd trial is underway. A 16-year veteran of the Boston Police Department was left to die in one of the biggest blizzards in Massachusetts history. The prosecution has charged his girlfriend, 42-year-old Karen Read, with his murder, claiming she hit him with her car during a fight and left him to die in the cold. The defense says Read is being framed, set up to take the fall by one of the most powerful families in this Boston suburb—all to protect one of their own.

    There are discrepancies in statements, missing camera footage, and deep family ties to everyone from the lead investigator to the attorney general’s office to the judge. With every new piece of evidence, a new controversy arises.

Though Brandi can't be credited with creating a story, she sure knows how to create a timeline. There will never be another trial like this and there could be many trials to follow as the timeline that the prosecutions eyewitnesses admit they created proves to be devoid of any relevantl times. Brandi is so imartial while creating and sharing her timeline with us that it wasn't until last week for me, week two of trial two in the karen read retrial, that I became a member of, what the antis call, the FKR cult. If that doesn't make sense to you better jump in quick, this trial is gonna run for a few more weeks and if you don't catch it live with Brandi one day you'll see the movies n wish you had.
This podcast, trial and the good lawyers calling out the corruption in canton have helped me thru a very tough year and given me a little hope that all is not lost 💪 ♥️ 🙏

Carry on canton
