Karen Read Trial Day 9: A "Confession", Red Solo Cups, & No Body On The Lawn??
A firefighter-paramedic says she heard Read confess, but never never wrote it down. Meanwhile, a party guest swears she’d been to the house over 20 times… but somehow forgot the family dog.

Or just the worst collective memory in Massachusetts? In this episode of Drop Dead Serious, Ashleigh Banfield breaks down every angle of Day 9 in the Karen Read retrial.
