Full Episode
Hey, true crime besties. Welcome back to an all new episode of Serialistly. Hey everybody, welcome back to another episode of Serialistly with me, Annie Elise, and we've got the Karen Reid trial recap. Now a lot has gone down this week. I'm sure that if you follow the trial, you've been seeing social media clips just popping up left and right because...
I mean, the true circus that is the trial, it's something like I've never seen before, truly. So let me backtrack a little bit. And Alayna is, of course, going to join again. And she's going to recap everything because she has a way of doing it in such a magical, seamless way to where it's understandable, digestible. She doesn't leave out any details.
So I don't have to worry about you guys coming for me like you did last week, where I'll well, you didn't even talk about how he changed the timeline. Like, I know, I thought that was implied. I'm sorry, I forgot. So, Elena will be joining us and breaking down this week, but some of the big highlights of the week definitely were with, like, Blue Man Group Smurf Guy.
This guy did this full-on reenactment of the alleged car crash between Karen Reid and John O'Keefe. And when I tell you I was not only laughing through it, and not in a disrespectful way as to whatever happened to John O'Keefe, but more in, like, the audacity, the nerve. Like, this makes no sense. And if you didn't see it, I highly encourage you to Google it.
But like I said, it's been popping up all over social media. But basically, this guy who identifies himself as an expert in accident reconstruction, in data, all of these things, he puts together this mock interview. version of the accident, the collision. And let me just say, this expert, he ends up saying that he got paid somewhere near like $400,000 for his participation in this.
He got like a free Lexus to use during this reenactment. And this reenactment was so... Unbelievable, because he didn't even reenact what the Commonwealth is accusing Karen of doing. They're accusing Karen of reversing at such a high speed of almost like 30 miles per hour to where then he she reverses and clips John and he then goes flying so many feet into the yard.
And that's what then hits the back of his head, incapacitates him. And then he, of course, as we know, doesn't live. And they have such egregious.
allegations and accusations against her so you would think okay great you're gonna get this expert in to do this reenactment you have the same vehicle that she was driving you're on the road all these things this guy even cosplayed as john o'keefe in such a freaking weirdo
crazy twist like and i get it he was trying to set the stage he was trying to like paint a picture but he dressed up as john o'keefe got the same lexus but then did not even reenact what they are accusing karen of doing instead the lexus in his reenactment
