Hey, weirdos, if Ash and Elena's episode on Ken McElroy left you wondering how someone could become so cruel, manipulative and untouchable, you'll want to hear my psychological breakdown of this case on my podcast, Killer Psyche. I examined the twisted mindset behind McElroy's reign of terror, how he exploited fear, used charm as a weapon and turned an entire town into his victims.

Understanding what made him tick is exactly the kind of insight I bring on Killer Psyche, where I use my experience profiling criminals for the FBI to uncover what drives people like Ken McElroy to become predators. So if you're curious about the mind behind the mayhem, join me for an inside look at the psychology of a man who got away with everything until he didn't.

Hey, Annie. Now we're officially three weeks into the Karen Reed retrial. And given that it was originally scheduled for six to eight weeks, it's safe to say we're approaching the halfway point. First, some general updates to the case.

On Monday, we learned that Judge Cannone has granted the motion to prohibit references to the Sandra Birchmore case, unless that door is opened during other testimony. Now, if you're not familiar, Sandra was a pregnant woman who was found dead in Canton in 2021. It was originally ruled a self-inflicted, but federal prosecutors have said that she was actually killed by a Stoughton police detective.

Now, the defense wanted to bring up the case here as it involves some of the same officers. But the prosecution said, quote, testimony about this unrelated death investigation would result in a trial within a trial. with much of the information being inadmissible, confidential, or offered without proper foundation.

And it seems like the judge agreed, but it's still possible that the case could come up if a witness mentions it in other types of testimony. So picking up on Friday, May 2nd, we continue with the contentious cross-examination of Jen McCabe. We went through lots of lines of questioning, and I want to hit on four of the big ones.
