In the recent episode of "Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski," defense attorney Bob Motta discusses the trial of Karen Read, highlighting the fluctuating dynamics between the defense and prosecution. The conversation focuses on Higgins' testimony, with Motta expressing mixed feelings about his credibility, particularly regarding his explanation of the destruction of his phone. Motta explains that the prosecution's strategy has been to counter the defense's third-party culprit theory by presenting their own witnesses first, a tactic aimed at undermining the defense's narrative. This approach is compared to other high-profile cases, such as the financial crimes in the Murdoch case. Motta also addresses the challenges faced by the defense in convincing the judge to allow full exploration of their third-party culprit theory. He concludes by emphasizing that the defense only needs to create reasonable doubt, rather than proving anything conclusively.
