"Karen Read's High BAC Scrutinized in Fifth Week of Murder Trial"

In the fifth week of Karen Read's murder trial, a former state police toxicologist testified that Read was still legally intoxicated or close to it eight hours after allegedly hitting her boyfriend, Boston police officer John O'Keefe, with her SUV. The defense argues that the investigation was tainted due to the homeowner's relationship with local and state police and claims Read was framed. Multiple witnesses have described the couple's stormy relationship, and the defense has implicated other suspects, including a federal agent who testified about disposing of his phone during the investigation.

Read maintains her innocence, claiming she was framed, while prosecutors argue she intentionally ran over O'Keefe after a fight.

"Sam Bankman-Fried's Trial Exposes Financial Deceit and $9 Billion Disappearance"

Prosecutors in the criminal trial against FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried compared one of the defense's arguments to a scene in the movie "Dumb and Dumber," criticizing the claim that customers still had a credit to the funds they deposited even if the money wasn't there. The government's case centers around billions of dollars that FTX allegedly siphoned out of customer accounts to cover losses at sister hedge fund Alameda Research. Bankman-Fried, who faces seven criminal fraud charges, has pleaded not guilty and could face life in prison if convicted. The trial is set to resume next week.
