Can The Community Divided By Karen Read Ever Heal?

In this episode of "Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski," psychotherapist and author Shavaun Scott discusses the ongoing legal proceedings and community tensions surrounding the Karen Read case. The defense is attempting to have charges dismissed, including second-degree murder and leaving the scene of an accident. Scott questions the legitimacy of arguments made by jurors after the fact, who claim they were unanimous on certain charges despite not recording their decisions in court. She suggests that the case, which has deeply divided the community, should potentially be moved to another location for a fair trial. Scott also reflects on the broader impact on the community, noting that healing will likely take time, especially if the charges are dismissed, and emotions begin to cool down. She compares the situation to a divisive political election, emphasizing the need for time and a decrease in heightened emotions for the community to heal and move forward.
