This is excellent and really demonstrates how almost everyone else in the Boston-area media has embarrassed themselves in their coverage of this case over the last 3+ years.

Hey @BostonDefender, I bet you wish we would have just been relegated to screaming into the void forever about your blatant corruption.
Unfortunately for you, the truth is a pesky thing, and I have friends.
Enjoy.

“For three years, the witnesses in the Karen Read murder trial were harassed at their jobs, their homes, their children’s sports games. It wasn’t random. It wasn’t a movement of true believers. It was a coordinated campaign against them. And now they’re fighting back.”~Gretchen Voss

Final update: Contributions this evening hit $4,748 which means we collectively raised $9,496 this evening.....AND we crossed the $250K mark for the witnesses.

This Father's Day weekend, something truly incredible happened. Because so many of you donated, shared, encouraged others, and refused to let John O'Keefe be forgotten on such an important day, TESTIFY surpassed $250,000 in donations on our GiveSendGo. We are beyond grateful for every single contribution, whether it was $5, $50, $500, or simply sharing our mission with others. Every donation represents someone who believes that the truth matters, that witnesses deserve support, and that John O'Keefe deserves justice.
We also witnessed that incredible support in person at a fundraiser held on our behalf, where so many people gathered to celebrate the community that has formed around our cause. The energy in the room was powertul. People who had never met before became friends. Stories were shared, memories were honored, and tor a few hours we were reminded that even in the midst of difficult circumstances, there is still hope, kindness, and tremendous strength in coming together.
To every donor, every attendee, every volunteer, and every person who has supported TESTIFY along the way: thank you. We are humbled by your generosity, inspired by your dedication, and grateful beyond words for the role each of you has played in helping us reach this milestone.
We are speechless and humbled by the support shown to us last night.
We are also deeply grateful to every person who has offered compassion, spoken up when it mattered, and refused to be intimidated by noise, misinformation, or pressure. Your support has given us strength, hope, and the courage to keep moving forward.
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for standing with the Albert, McCabe, and Higgins families. We will never forget the kindness, loyalty, and friendship you have shown us during the most difficult moments of our lives.
Your support has meant everything to us. Thank you.
A Special thank you to @AnEagleEyedGirl@NerdyandFlirty8 and @TeamFUKR 💙

DEFAMATION SUIT FILED AGAINST KAREN READ + BLOGGER, AIDAN "TURTLEBOY" KEARNEY.
Please find our attorney's statement attached and the link to the full civil lawsuit here:

It was heartbreaking on every level to endure not only the defamation and harassment directed at us by people in our own community, but also to stand by and watch the O’Keefes, and so many others who loved John, be forced to walk through the absolute circus that people turned his murder trial into.
What should have been a solemn pursuit of justice became a spectacle. A family grieving an unimaginable loss was made to endure public cruelty, harassment, conspiracy theories, and constant disrespect while simply trying to seek accountability for the man they loved.
No one should ever have to experience that. No witnesses should ever have to endure what many of us have endured for simply telling the truth. Watching the pain inflicted not just on us, but on John’s loved ones throughout this process has been disheartening and devastating beyond words.

For four years, we have been harassed, threatened, and targeted in every way imaginable - on social media, at our homes, through text messages, voicemails, and phone calls - all because we did one thing: we were witnesses in a murder trial.
The same people who loudly claim to be champions of the First Amendment didn't like what we had to say under oath and instead of respecting the process, they treated our testimony like a starting gun for intimidation. What followed has been years of relentless harassment meant to silence, scare, and punish us for telling the truth.
People like Rich Schiffer, and others who have fueled this behavior, should be ashamed. Words and actions have consequences, and what’s been unleashed over the past four years is dangerous, reckless, and inexcusable.
We will not be intimidated. We will not be silenced. And we will not apologize for telling the truth.

Wishing everyone a very Happy Easter! May your day be filled with love, laughter and the warmth of family and friends. On this special day, we’re thinking of each and every one of you and hoping your hearts are as full as your homes.

Yesterday, in federal court, we filed our response to Karen Read’s amended complaint. You can read the full response via the link below, but this paragraph sums it up perfectly: her amended complaint adds nothing but more baseless accusations aimed at smearing and defaming us for doing our civic duty.
We’ll keep saying it loud and clear: we were WITNESSES. That’s it. And we won’t let her continue to twist the truth to defame us - or anyone we care about.

Karen Read filed her narrative in her "amended complaint" and now the witnesses have struck back with facts, law and undeniable evidence.
The delusion had its moment; now the truth is on the record, the law is clear, and we’re unpacking it all, piece by piece. Join us tomorrow at 5PM EST as we say "RIP" to Karen Read's docket of delusion.

In The Karen Read Files: Making a Conspiracy, the FOURensic Room pulls back the curtain on who was really behind the blogs created to smear us, our family and our friends.
If you missed it, this is one you don’t want to skip - it’s a must-watch.
