Does Karen Read Lack The Ability To Feel Empathy?

Did Karen Read kill Boston Police Officer John O’Keefe—or is she just the most unpopular person in the room?
In this episode of Hidden Killers with Tony Brueski, retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke digs into the bizarre courtroom behavior and mindset of alleged killer Karen Read. From unsettling giggles and photo ops during a murder trial to the courtroom personality split that would make Jekyll and Hyde blush, Karen’s actions speak volumes—even when she says nothing at all.
While the evidence in the case is hotly contested and riddled with accusations of police misconduct, it’s Read’s own words and demeanor that raise eyebrows. Is it narcissism, calculated performance, or just plain detachment? Her courtroom theatrics—posing for pics one minute, stoic statue the next—seem less like someone fighting for justice and more like someone fighting for “likes.”
But does a lack of empathy mean guilt? Or are we just watching a deeply confused person flail under the spotlight, saying things like “poor guy” about a man she supposedly loved?
When your defense sounds more like a popularity contest than a plea of innocence… what does that say about your truth?
