Proctor's communication about Karen and the investigation wasn't limited to his old friends. He discussed it with family, too.
So, as it turns out, Trooper Proctor's sister Courtney has connections to the Alberts. Remember, it was how he began the conversation. The ethics of sharing information about the case with her, in particular, are certainly questionable. Proctor felt otherwise.
Sharing private case details with a family member? Requesting that Courtney keep her mouth shut? The conversation certainly strayed from innocent to concerning. Fast. And just when you think it can't possibly get any worse... These are messages from February 1st, 2022, is that correct?
Speaking of Proctor's wife, Elizabeth, there were texts between the two of them, too.
Believe it or not, there was even more for which Proctor would have to explain. Perhaps the most damning exchanges were with his own colleagues. In this series of texts, Proctor was messaging a fellow trooper named DeChico about a conference call with the medical examiner.
In another string of texts with fellow troopers, Proctor makes light of Karen's illnesses again.
The text continued into the summer of 2022, where in a group text with Trooper DeChico and another trooper named Kakowski, the three remark on the statement Karen gave while being processed at the police barracks after being charged with murder in the second degree.
Then, things take an even more abhorrent turn in August 2022, when Proctor finally gets the green light to go through Karen's phone himself.
Proctor attempted to walk back the comment about not finding nudes on Karen's phone by explaining the intended purpose of going through her phone in the first place.
But Proctor's possession of Karen's phone didn't last long.
One might say this was a rare instance of Proctor doing anything by the book. The direct examination of the Commonwealth's own witness had stained this already splashy trial. So what damage could the defense do? The following morning, Trooper Proctor returned with his tail between his legs for a fiery cross-examination with Alan Jackson.
Reporter Christina Rex, who was in the courtroom that day, remembers it as humiliating.
And Rich Schoenstein says for the legal community, this cross was the dream scenario.
Alan Jackson dove in headfirst by bringing up the text exchanged between Proctor and his longtime friends.
Jackson then revealed that Proctor had arrived at the conclusion that the Alberts couldn't have been involved without taking one seemingly crucial step to determine that as a fact.
As it turns out, there was, in fact, a time where Proctor had yet to rule out the prospect that a fight could have led to John's untimely death. But on top of that, despite receiving information from medical personnel that a fight wasn't out of the question, Proctor continued to double down on his theory that Karen deliberately hit John with her car.
Jackson was curious how Proctor arrived at such a rash conclusion.
Yes. Jackson proceeded to pull at some of the pettier comments exchanged between Proctor and his colleagues.
Then Jackson really began to rub Proctor's nose in it.
For hours, they painstakingly revisited every text brought forward the day before, illuminating every inappropriate remark from commenting on Karen's medical condition to her appearance. And though Proctor previously stated his regret, Jackson wasn't buying any of it.
