Welcome to Crimetown, a series produced by Marc Smerling and Zac Stuart-Pontier in partnership with Gimlet Media. Each season, we investigate the culture of crime in a different city. In Season 2, Crimetown heads to the heart of the Rust Belt: Detroit, Michigan. From its heyday as Motor City to its rebirth as the Brooklyn of the Midwest, Detroit’s history reflects a series of issues that strike at the heart of American identity: race, poverty, policing, loss of industry, the war on drugs, an ...

One Scene, Two Realities How Crash Experts Could Split The Karen Read Jury
A single scene. One victim. But two completely different interpretations of what happened. That’s the challenge now facing jurors in the Karen Read trial, as dueling accident reconstruction experts present radically different theories of how John O’Keefe died — and what Karen Read’s vehicle had to do with it.
In this episode, we dive deep into the war of the experts. The prosecution argues that Read reversed into O’Keefe with her Lexus SUV, leaving him fatally injured in a blizzard. But the defense has countered with their own specialists — experts who suggest the injuries are inconsistent with a vehicular strike, and that the blood patterns don't match up with a hit-and-run scenario.
So how does a jury make sense of it? Attorney Eric Faddis helps us understand what jurors are actually allowed to weigh when expert opinions directly contradict each other — and how bias, credentials, courtroom delivery, and even juror fatigue can come into play.
We also explore the consequences of this forensic standoff. Could the confusion actually benefit Read’s defense? And does “reasonable doubt” thrive in environments like this — where even seasoned professionals can't agree on the physics?
The outcome of this case may hinge on a jury’s gut instinct in choosing which expert they trust more. And that decision could mean the difference between a guilty verdict and an acquittal.
