This prosecutor gave the absolute worst opening statement I've ever heard.. Listing names, talking too fast, run on sentences etc. Omg! Its like he's trying to put the jury to sleep...
Horrible opening statement. Anyone can read off of a piece of paper and a monotone mumble.

This prosecutor is about as interesting a public school teacher 😴
I honestly don't get why a lot of people are complaining about the sound. It's clearly the prosecutors monotone voice that's the issue 😂 and count your blessings we can even watch this. The way this shady judge was being, we're lucky this is being publicly broadcast.

He needs to stop mumbling with these big shots lawyers they can talk the talk and make people believe them
This prosecutor needs some help! Not going to cut it.
Well, still not clear what happened after opening.
What ai find CRAZY is that Paul, Johns brother, hit a man drunk driving sent the guy to the hospital yet here they are convinced that a MURDER charge is appropriate. WTFH?

Its too bad this is almost unlistenable. I lost interest in the first 3 minutes.
The ones who lost the most in all of this are the kids he was taking care of.
This is the worst opening statement I’ve ever heard in my entire career. It is so incredibly horrible. He seems to be bored and like he could not care less about the decedent and actually getting justice for Mr. O’Keefe. He seems lazy and like someone who does the absolute bare minimum, no actually less than the bare minimum. This guy should be ashamed and embarrassed. The DA’s office should be ashamed (and hopefully disciplined harshly by the Feds) about every single thing, from start to finish, done in this case. They don’t care about justice for either Officer O’Keefe or justice for Karen Read. Shameful. Mr. Lally is a disgrace
Are they even trying?

Because they know they don’t have a case and know it’s a cover up… Why put your best in if you know you’re going to lose? This is so they can point a finger at this nerd and blame him.
At least leave the camera on the person at the podium so we can watch their face like to try to hear awful audio and the camera guy turned camera on Karen away from her attorney opening statement for a long while We can see occasional pan the camera but since awful audio please leave the camera on whomever talking please?
Please send this guy to Opening Statement School to learn not to race through important information one is hearing for the first time! Also, the continual coughing is unbearable to listen to, Please do something about the audio, this is not acceptable in this day and age!
Very lackadaisical opening by the Prosecuter....no passion very ho- hum.
He’s probably setting the tone to say in closing something like, “Look, the defense has tried to tell you this elaborate, dramatic story. But I’ve simply given you the truth.” By being a bore, he can label the defense as thespians.

This feels like a guy who knows his case has holes.
I don’t believe he believes in his case. He has been ordered to prosecute Read and he is going to do it. The Defense was passionate, clear. The opening Defense statements were devastating to the prosecution. The Judge had ruled the Defense could not bring in third party defense in the opening statements, but they did it any way. A sharp prosecutor would have objected, but this guy just sat there.
This is what a fearful prosecutor who lnows his case is corruption based bs looks like while trying to keep his job with a connected DA
This guy is hard to understand. Practice your speaking voice. Loud and clear is required for the jury.
No mention of the dateline interview where Karen stated she watched John walk into the house?
Evidence and facts will determine this case. Not drama
I have no idea what he said. I’m no clearer on the prosecutions’s case than before listening?!
lunch box lally mumbles
No passion, enthusiasm of a slug
I agree with the audio like static.
Because he knows they’re screwed
So Roberts and McCabe were friends with John before Karen and John got together? Interesting
Got a weird vibe from her and it seems my intuition was right, she did it and it wasn't an accident!
I fell asleep about ten times.
Karen is gonna look good in an orange jumpsuit... Believe that!

Mr Lally will loose this case. The story how the towmies hunkered down while the impnding snowstorm ( a dusting) was coming. The occupants of Albert's house and invited guests went out to get drunk. The occupants of the after party decided Mr OKeefe was persona non grada. Then in the home the crime was committed Karen is innocent. Line up with blank checks for the civil damage to come she will be found NG
