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 ...

Weaponized Emotion: Karen Read’s Public Persona vs. What the Evidence Shows
In this gripping conversation with psychotherapist Shavaun Scott, we examine one of the most debated aspects of the Karen Read case: her emotional presentation.
Karen Read has cried in court. She’s collapsed in the arms of supporters. She’s publicly mourned and passionately declared her innocence. But the digital evidence — the timeline, the taillight fragments, the iPhone data — tells a different story. So how do we reconcile the two?
Shavaun walks us through the concept of weaponized emotion — the use of tears, distress, and vulnerability to sway public perception or gain sympathy. We explore the psychological mechanics of performance: when is emotional expression authentic, and when is it strategically employed? Is Karen Read showing genuine trauma, or projecting an image to maintain control over the narrative?
We also dig into gender dynamics in courtroom psychology — how women are often given emotional leeway that male defendants wouldn’t receive — and how this can complicate the search for objective truth in emotional trials.
If you’ve ever felt conflicted between how someone acts emotionally and what the evidence actually says, this episode will give you the clinical insight to separate performance from reality.
