    Breaking Down "Bone Valley" Season 1 With Gilbert King Part 2
    What if the man in prison isn't the killer—but the real suspect confessed, and nothing changed? In 1987, Michelle Schofield vanished. Days later, her body was found—and her husband, Leo, was convicted. But now, Pulitzer Prize-winner Gilbert King is uncovering the disturbing truth behind Leo Schofield’s decades-long incarceration. A judge turned whistleblower, a witness with a history of delusions, and a justice system that seemed more interested in closing the case than solving it. Leo was across town with witnesses when Michelle was allegedly killed—so why is he still in prison? And how did the real suspect’s fingerprints on Michelle’s car not lead to justice? King’s deep dive into the case, now revealed in Bone Valley Season 2, exposes the tangled web of small-town loyalties, prosecutorial maneuvering, and a defense that never stood a chance. This is the story of a man who never stopped saying he was innocent—and the journalist who believed him.

  • Science vs. Spin The Defense Pushes Conspiracy, But the Timeline Doesn’t Lie

    Science vs. Spin The Defense Pushes Conspiracy, But the Timeline Doesn’t Lie
    May 29 2025
    Science vs. Spin The Defense Pushes Conspiracy, But the Timeline Doesn’t Lie
    On Day 22 of the Karen Read trial, the defense launched what looked more like a desperate PR offensive than a credible legal cross-examination. Their target? Crash reconstruction expert Judson Welcher—the man who clearly laid out how Read’s Lexus SUV, in reverse at 74% throttle and 23.9 mph, aligned perfectly with the injuries found on John O’Keefe’s body.
    The defense didn’t challenge the data. They couldn’t. Instead, they went after Welcher’s paycheck—suggesting his $325,000 compensation somehow invalidated the scientific conclusions. But forensic experts cost money—especially when they laser-scan the scene, replicate impact scenarios, and map injuries to vehicle geometry with precision.

    Welcher testified that O’Keefe’s wounds—on his arm, hip, and head—were consistent with being struck by an SUV and falling to the frozen ground. The defense, meanwhile, continues to float its baseless conspiracy theory that O’Keefe was beaten inside the house, dumped in the snow, and that the entire Canton police and Massachusetts State Police are complicit in framing Karen Read.

    Even Judge Cannone saw through the smoke. She allowed Welcher to state that the damage to the SUV and the injuries were consistent with a collision—but reminded the jury that only they can decide what happened. Which is exactly what prosecutors want: let the facts speak louder than the fiction.

    The real question isn’t whether the defense can poke at Welcher’s resume. It’s whether they can explain why everything—timeline, data, injuries, and forensic logic—points to one person: Karen Read.

  • EXPERT: Body Position, Time Markers & Damage Prove Karen Read's SUV Hit John O'Keefe

    EXPERT: Body Position, Time Markers & Damage Prove Karen Read's SUV Hit John O'Keefe
    May 28 2025
    EXPERT: Body Position, Time Markers & Damage Prove Karen Read's SUV Hit John O'Keefe
    In this critical episode, we unpack the most damning forensic testimony yet in the Karen Read trial—straight from the prosecution’s final witness, Dr. Judson Welcher, a biomechanical engineer and accident reconstructionist.
    Welcher testified that John O’Keefe’s injuries were “consistent with being struck and dragged” by Karen Read’s SUV, based on an exhaustive analysis of vehicle event data, scene evidence, and physical injury patterns. Using a matching Lexus RX350 and crash test dummies, Welcher simulated the scene and determined that Read’s SUV reversed 53 feet at 74% throttle—without braking.

    His conclusion? The SUV's reverse path “lines up with fatal contact,” and the injuries “match a collision with a human body,” specifically one standing near the right rear corner of the car. He also cited damage to the vehicle and the pattern of blood and debris as “highly consistent” with a reverse impact.

    This video dives deep into:

    • The reenactments Welcher performed

    • His use of data from the car’s event recorder

    • His breakdown of how and where O’Keefe was likely hit

    • What this means for the jury’s understanding of Karen Read’s actions

    With the defense now forced to confront this expert forensic narrative, viewers are left asking: Was this the moment Karen Read’s case collapsed?

    Bodycam Footage: Sheriff Begs for His Life After Killing Judge in Chambers

    Letcher County Sheriff Shawn “Mickey” Stines gunned down Judge Kevin Mullins inside his own courthouse chambers—just days after giving sworn testimony in a lawsuit exposing alleged sexual misconduct, systemic abuse, and backroom corruption. Was it a desperate act of fear? Calculated retaliation? Or the complete psychological collapse of a man under fire? In this episode of Murder in the Morning with Tony Brueski and Stacy Cole, we unpack the courthouse killing that stunned Kentucky, the disturbing bodycam footage captured moments after, and the explosive allegations linking both men to a web of scandal.

    Lori Vallow’s Legal Circus Rolls Into Arizona (And She’s the Ringmaster Again)
    In this episode of Murder in the Morning with Tony Brueski and Stacy Cole, we break down Lori Vallow Daybell’s next legal battle—her upcoming Arizona trial where she’s accused of conspiring to murder her niece’s ex-husband, Brandon Boudreaux. Prosecutors allege Vallow helped orchestrate a 2019 attempted shooting, carried out by her now-deceased brother, Alex Cox.
    With jury selection starting May 29 and trial proceedings kicking off June 2, we dig into the key witnesses, the legal maneuvers, and Vallow’s bold decision to represent herself once again. From cult-driven conspiracies to courtroom clashes, this case is another disturbing chapter in one of the most bizarre and high-profile criminal sagas in recent history.

    Is this the final trial for the woman once dubbed the “Doomsday Mom”? Or just another act in her ongoing legal theater?
