Alec Baldwin vs. Karen Read: A Tale of Two Judges💥 Attorney Review 

We need to substitute Erlinda for Lally. She resigned because she felt the charges should have been dismissed. If only Lally had that same level of integrity.

What a difference a fair judge makes! It's sad that we cannot take a good, fair judge for granted.

We should all be concerned for our own liberty and justice after watching the read case. Unbelievable the judge allowed in such flawed evidence and no remedies. She is clearly biased toward Lally.

Yes. Judge Summer is amazing and Judge Bev needs to take a cue from her

I want to know where is the courage from ALL the Karen Read case jurors? Come forward together ❤️

Morrissey’s narcissism is beyond! She just HAS to have the last word.

Yep. The Baldwin judge was terrific!

That quote literally gave me shivers. The second I saw the Alec Baldwin case get dismissed , I wrote I cannot believe that this case has got dismissed, yet the Karen Reed case is apparently continuing! I don’t think I’ve ever hidden it, but I have a distain for Auntie Bev! Free Karen Read!

Yes! So glad you did this because when Baldwin judge dismissed and the way that she handled her courtroom immediately had me comparing judge Cannone in MA stark contrast.

Judges across the country must be so furious at Judge Sommer for showing that judges are supposed to be pro-justice and not ride or die pro-prosecution.

Very fair competent judge in New Mexico. Thanks for the compare and contrast.

Karen knows she's innocent! Alec Baldwin is living with terrible guilt even though it was accidental.

I'm not a fan of AB, never have been! I am however a huge fan of justice and this is justice ‼️Hear hear

Truth be told, I do dislike Baldwin VERY MUCH, and I DO think that they had a legitimate case against him, and that’s because of his OWN BIG Mouth, BUT, even I, would HATE to see this absolute MISCONDUCT AND CORRUPTION, be the reason for his conviction!!! Even though I do dislike the man, justice is not served when the defense cheats, and defies the law. I don’t want that for anyone, not even someone that I truly do dislike. That’s really just what happened here, and I commend this judge!!!she is the epitome of what justice looks like or should look like!

This part with her the Da wanting to testify and also the judge getting down off the bench to review the evidence wearing gloves. I was like I never saw a judge being so fair wanting to see evidence and statements herself before ruling. This judge was good.❤

Lally lied he at least 227 times in closing. He should be charged with perjury but they don’t take the oath. Lyin Lally is a joke, a bad joke.

Someone knows why it was inverted! They even went through the trouble to switch the TIME STAMP to make the entire video seem normal.

I have not followed this trial at all - but she is totally unbelievable!!! She is horrible!

OMG! I didn’t realize that the defense just got this video when the trial started! Auntie Bev should be ashamed of herself!

Most amazing courtroom experience to watch

LOL. “Hilaria” was called Hillary all her life until she decided to pretend she was Spanish.

I live in Norfolk County and I said the SAME thing, Melanie. Love, love, LOVE your channel!

But the judge did nothing! Because she can… it’s so sad for Karen I believe the truth will prevail

Melanie I am a resident of the UK, I love your platform and all your knowledge .I am absoiutley disgusted with this case of karen Read what kind of people are they ,I am not a law person of any stretch of the imagination ,but it is very obvious to me that karen was framed and even more so after watching the trial . is it possible that the judges superiors will be able to do something about judge canonne . I have NEVER seen a judge like this .

Judge did the right thing, and she didn't even snap at the defendant to say "something funny/sad/whatever, Mr Baldwin?". The more I think about everyone in power in MA, the more I feel disbelief.

I am so glad you made this video. I didn't follow the Baldwin case but I did watch the judge's explanation of the dismissal. My first thought was how was late/false evidence in Karen Read's trial allowed in and not causing a mistrial and the late/hidden evidence in the Baldwin trial created a mistrial?????

With both of these and the event in Pennsylvania Saturday, Im beginning to wonder about the competency in all law inforcement. What is going on????

Why can they getaway with the lies and why does judge do nothing surely she can't keep getting away with her actions

I wanted to teleport the judge from the David Swift case (to Karen Read case)! David Swift’s case was also hung but for a much lesser charge and the judge went though allllll the other charges that got dismissed because they voted unanimously on the more extreme charges. I was like, oh this is how it’s supposed to happen!!! Check it out!

I know the law is the law, but can anyone honestly imagine Aunt Bev acting as Baldwins judge did? I could be completely wrong, but I feel she’d have done everything in her power to sweep in under the rug.

Your sensitivity is so attractive, Melanie -I notice and feel similarly often with you-thank you for being a Voice I resonate with on all your coverages 🙏🏻

Love that quote. Watched EDB who was flabbergasted at what was unfolding Friday! Watched Gutierrez-Reed and Baldwin! The Karen Read case is crazy!

Could this Prosecutors misconduct and the judge’s ruling .. be case law other lawyers could argue?

I wonder if Judge Bev watched how it should be done..tks for recapping this Melanie..Judge Mary Rocks..

What a disgrace that defence has had to continually tip toe around the very fragile ego of the bench

Such a great show Melanie. I grew up in Canton and retired to New Mexico. The parallels between the two trials is mind-blowing. I love how you think in lyrics BTW ❤

I honestly think each of these crooked cops have a lot of major bs on each other so bad that they are trapped to and can not talk

Very happy for Alec. He should never have been charged.

That is why Bev gave them the weekend to go over what to say on next Monday

Yes but, Karen Read did not have an awesome judge like this. So tragic

morrisey is a SNL character played by Katie McKinnon 😂😅😂

I have so many things to say about being an outsider in a small town & trying to be involved as a parent volunteering at the school. It was so isolating. I stuck with it and never missed a field trip. But the area was so rural that if you didnt have a road named after you, you were mud.

Don’t forget what 45 min is just missing? As well

Do not like the guy, but this is justice! God, if Karen Read, could get that kind of fair trial!

Morrissey is a private attorney that normally does defense and civil rights cases ironically.

It is wild what a night and day difference it was between the two trials!

Wow! The one good thing to come from televised court cases is THIS CASE AND THE KAREN READ CASE! Finally, somethings positive coming from RU-vid!

Feels like a sauna here in southeast Texas🥵 Love the tie dye background ☮️

What a difference a Special Prosecutor makes as well!

So happy for Alec Baldwin-- no matter how personally he puts me off!! I thought this a witch hunt from the get go

Oh DA’s are named Morrissey. What a coincidence

I haven't really followed the Karen Read case but I can't stop watching stuff about what happened with the Baldwin case. I've watched it so many times and it just doesn't stop being mind blowing how everything blew up so quickly!

I tried to rewatch Bukenic but just couldn’t do it. His smirking & smugness as he BRAZENLY lies every time he opens his mouth just makes blood come shooting out of my ears! It’s too stressful! ❤

It’s a crap shoot when it comes to which judge you will get. I’ve seen lawyers on smaller civil cases reschedule a court date when they find out who the judge will be.

1:39:45 Watch the guy walking into the sally port with his hand in the air, holding an instrument. He walks straight to that tail light. PLAY ON SLOW SPEED and watch!!! Watch carefully!! He crosses in front of the white wall. You can actually see the instrument he's holding.

When the defence went to the side bar the judge immediately calls a 10 minute break. To give Lally a chance to tell Tully the defence was wise to the scam. Proctor later said he watched another video where the time was inverted. How many versions were there? More chain of custody not followed. So much evidence never logged and never challenge by the judge who breezed over it on many occasions.

My hunch is the missing 45 on video with Karen’s car in the cop garage is that Higgins was on it And they deleted it

The prosecutor does a lot to try to explain why the evidence she didn’t turn over is not evidence that would matter based off of her discretion alone.. not how it works, maybe it is useless evidence.. but you have to let both sides decide that and she didn’t. Listening to her ramble on about why she believed the evidence was irrelevant is her just trying to save her crumbling career on the record. At that point, she knew this trial was over.. she was trying to do career damage control

I doubt the judge is gonna do something about the motions about the jury, at least not in favor of the defense. 😞

Melanie!! That John Adams quote absolutely struck me right to me core. WOW.

and judge Bev helped hide, evade, confuse jurors etc.

I did watch the trial, all of it.

Hi all I’m coming from Victoria Australia it’s 7am here. And it’s freezing. 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺

I'm watching this hours after live...he said the snow melted off the car.......was that the snow around the car??? which means it was in the sally port long before this taping!!!!!!!!!!!

Three word's: Ego. Ego. Ego.

Excellent judge

Thanx Attorney Melanie, that was soooo good. Stunning! The reason ( for me) that this case didn't appeal to me is simply because I felt as tragic as what happened is😢, it was unnerving ( to me) to be tried in a criminal court. Whether you like Baldwin or not, I sure did like his lawyer! 😃.

I was happy for Alec I don’t care what anybody says about him, or his politics. Also find it strange that was commented on since it is irrelevant. Now for the injustice in Massachusetts..

My God, you have the most beautiful green eyes! My wife had green eyes more emerald green with brown flakes that would glow red when she was angry, it used to be a clear indication that I was in deep ship when I came home and saw that red.

Another statement that Morrisey made that will be back for Hannah Gutierrez -Reed's case was, " I knew her (Hannah) lawyer sure didn't want this evidence, it would only make her more guilty." I am paraphasing, but it is close, saying that she did not share that evidence during the Hannah G-Reed case either. She talked to both Defence and Prosecutor evidently. While Morrisey is testifying there is a couple of times that she seems to be thinking, " I should not gave done that."

Thank you so much for doing this comparison. I really enjoyed this podcast. ❤❤

How did I miss this?!

So why do you think KR’s team hasn’t filed for a Brady rule and dismissal

One of my eyes is twitching from this case !Melanie I think it was on a Friday and came back on Monday

I've been struggling to understand how 8 members of the journey could have come to believe beyond a reasonable doubt that Officer John O'Keefe was killed by Karen's car (or any car) after all of the evidence presented, including that inverted video being called out and admitted to during cross examination. The only thing that sort of makes sense ot me is that it was related to social psychology. Judge Bev as the leader of the courtroom always seemed to be soft and kind, almost motherly, when interacting with the jury, but she frequently acted hostile, annoyed, and even belittling when interacting with the defence and Karen. She was dismissive of many of their concerns, treating some of them as though they were just dramatics with no real substance behind them, instead of being as shocked and appalled by the revelations as Judge Sommers (or any decent judge) would have been. I wonder if her attitude towards the evidence - not reacting or condemning strongly enough, much less allowing the case to come to trial - led some juror's to conclude that the state's case couldn't be as empty and corrupt as it seems, or Judge Bev would havce dimissed it or sanctioned the prosecutions, or SOMETHING! I wonder if that led to them giving more credence to the state's case than they might have if there were a more competent and fair judge managing the facts in this case.

Bu what ever qualifies by saying we never touched the vehicle before there was a warrant Right? Just transported it, drove into the garage and then broke the taillight But we never touched he says He is one scary being Scary scary scary

The OUTRAGE on the internet chats was LOUD after the mirrored Sally Port video was shown in court!!!

I don’t understand how something like this can be done without someone getting reprimanded! I don’t get it!

I totally agree with you in the way the judges handled their cases!

Both Hancock and Morrisey keep referring to “Live Rounds” and “ from the Rust set” as if that’s all that matters. Such obvious gaslighting. They both know that Dummy Rounds and the SOURCE of both type of rounds is equally important re: culpability.

Dear Melanie ,Thank you so very much for your hearted comment,These dispicable people know nothing of sadnes and sorrow.My husbans and I in 2022 lost a very special grandson 3yrs old and we lost two of our parents in the same week.however I never lost my catholic faith I only hope and pray that these people will return to there faith as I believe they are catholics as well, but God does work in mysterious ways,I will pray for you melanie and your lovley family and let justice prevail GODBLESS YOU XXX

How can the KR judge allow an inverted video in as evidence? Granted she let the defense get into it cross. But how can she knowingly let in inaccurate evidence into a trial?

Fast one for sure!!! So many mistruths offered by the cw!

Judge removed from the YSL trial how is it Bev can’t be

Popple and Hancock are shady too..imo Popple very smart and knew better yet deferred to her "superiors"...as far as Hancock I have zero clue how she ever became a detective or a corporal..and also tried to tow the party line on the stand and off..thank goodness Judge Mary was like.. umm no, not in my courtroom

Baldwin sure snapped to when that name was thrown out.

Karen Read is selling her house....great idea...she probably has big bills.....

That color looks great on you, Mel!

The one is competent, the other not.

Replay Crew here... Darn I'm sorry i missed this. But excited to hear what my awesome faves have to say.

Brilliant analogy Melanie !!! i thought the exact same thing as i watched the entire Baldwin case . Hannah’s attorney was not interested in this information when he was presented with it!!

They even went as far as to switch the “time stamp” back to normal to make it seem “NOT MIRRORED!” 😮 Unnnnn Believable! Karen Read haters are sooooo lost!

What are the checks and balances to see if a judge and or prosecutor have acted unethically to change the outcome of a trial. There has to be something

Watching from the beginning to end 😊

This is a movie in the making, and Kate McKinnon must play Kari Morrissey!

Luv ya Melanie every girl needs a friend like you! 😃 so all the crappy lies and attitudes will be brought to the forefront again Burn burn me twice but Never Again

Thank You For teaching us normies about this dismissal. I had no idea what so ever.

She’s so friggin arrogant!

It really did not make sense to me, that baldwins case was dismissed. What did some bullets brought in years before, have to do with his case and his charge? Where the bullets came from in this case, was not the point. So it felt like the judge overreacted. As for Karen The judge under acted and is as crooked as they come i feel. She was not looking for justice and the truth. I really hope the FBI are investigating her too. And for her not to care how the jury really felt is criminal. I would also like to know why the rest of the jury has not stepped up to clear the air once and for all. Are they scared?

What matters is what Kari actually did. Not interested in her being protected from what she did as an officer of the court. She hid evidence by being complicit in assigning this new ammunition/evidence a new ID #.
