Crash Test Counterstrike: S2-E8
A taillight. A skull fracture. A cannon. The defense calls ARCCA’s Dr. Daniel Wolfe and Dr. Andrew Rentschler to challenge the state’s case with science, testing whether a thrown glass, not a car, caused the damage. Their findings? Not a smoking gun, but maybe a game-changer.Featuring interviews with: Rich Schoenstein---Host: Kristin ThorneWriter & Producer: Cooper MollExecutive Producer: Jessica LowtherEditor: Anna McClainAssociate Producer: Tess Jagger-WellsBooking Producers: Diane Kaye and Alyssa FisherLegal: Stephanie BeachKey Art: Sean PanzeraSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The Defense Strikes Back: S2-E7
The defense launches its case with a flurry of witnesses aimed at unraveling the prosecution’s theory and timeline. Each testimony adds a new piece to the puzzle, but what is the defense really trying to prove? And are they creating reasonable doubt, or just more confusion?Featuring interviews with: Will Korman, Matt Tympanick, and Katherine Loftus---Host: Kristin ThorneWriter & Executive Producer: Jessica LowtherEditor: Anna McClainAssociate Producer: Tess Jagger-WellsBooking Producers: Diane Kaye and Alyssa FisherLegal: Elizabeth VulajKey Art: Sean PanzeraSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Proof vs. Possibility: S2-E6
The prosecution says the data proves it: Karen Read backed into John O’Keefe and left him to die. But the medical examiner still won’t call it a homicide. Now that the prosecution has rested, we break down the Commonwealth’s case; what they showed, what they skipped, and why the defense thinks that silence might speak louder than science.Featuring interviews with: Matt Tympanick, Rich Schoenstein, Ian Runkle, and Naida Rutherford---Host: Kristin ThorneWriter & Producer: Cooper MollExecutive Producer: Jessica LowtherEditor: Anna McClainAssociate Producer: Tess Jagger-WellsBooking Producers: Diane Kaye and Alyssa FisherLegal: Elizabeth VulajKey Art: Sean PanzeraSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Ripples of Doubt: S2-E5
As cracks widen in the Commonwealth’s case, Sgt. Yuri Bukhenik takes the stand…and absorbs the fallout. With key evidence unmeasured, surveillance video reversed, and critical leads ignored, his testimony reveals more than just missteps and mistakes. It raises the question: was this investigation ever built to find the truth?

Déjà Vu All Over Again: S2-E4
In the third week of Karen Read’s retrial, the prosecution leans on phone logs to frame a timeline and a motive. But the defense counters with science and expert testimony that could dismantle the case entirely. As credibility battles erupt and a controversial trooper looms, the question sharpens: is this justice, or just déjà vu?Featuring interviews with: Matt Tympanick, Rich Schoenstein, and Ian Runkle---Host: Kristin ThorneWriter & Producer: Cooper MollExecutive Producer: Jessica LowtherEditor: Anna McClainAssociate Producer: Tess Jagger-WellsBooking Producers: Diane Kaye and Alyssa FisherLegal: Elizabeth VulajKey Art: Sean PanzeraSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Under Oath: S2-E3
The timeline is everything. And this week, the prosecution’s case hinged on one critical detail: when a Google search was made and who made it. In this episode of Karen: The Retrial, jurors are taken from the scene at 34 Fairview to the digital trail that could make or break the Commonwealth’s theory. With forensic experts reshaping the timeline and Jen McCabe back on the stand, the courtroom turned into a battleground of memory, metadata, and motive.Featuring interviews with: Katherine Loftus, Will Korman, Aaron Benzick, and Ian RunkleSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

With a jury finally seated and opening statements fired, both sides are playing for keeps. Will the prosecution’s precision win the day, or will the defense turn a compromised investigation into Karen Read’s best shot at freedom?
