13th Juror Podcast
This podcast is made for True Crime & Justice Junkies.
We go through the court documents, analyze the evidence, watch the trials, break everything down, research it, talk to the experts, and then present it all as a compelling story from start to finish.
Season 1: Mainstream media only gives you bits and pieces of the story, but 13th Juror gives it all. Each story takes a current or recent case that has made headlines, and we give insight into the victim, the crime, and the pursuit of justice. Some stories will be told start to finish in one episode, others dive a little deeper and will be presented in a short series.
Season 2: "Conspiracy in Canton" episodes include a deep dive into the controversial case of Karen Read- a woman arrested and charged with the murder of her boyfriend, Boston police officer John O'Keefe in January 2022. The prosecution says she hit John with her car and left him to die in the cold, however Karen's attorneys are alleging there's a coverup involving multiple law enforcement agencies. Every new piece of information brings new questions, and nothing is what it seems. The controversy stretches outward to law enforcement, officials, even the reporters covering the case, and each side accuses the other of a conspiracy. The first trial ended in a hung jury, and as the new trial approaches, the case seems to get wilder and wilder.
Exclusive Interviews: The audio versions of interviews Brandi has done with some of the top names in the true crime and legal world.

Conspiracy in Canton - 014
Trial is moving along, and there's drama both inside and outside of the courthouse. In this episode we go over the testimony of homeowners Brian and Nicole Albert, as well as the drama and legal action being taken outside the courthouse in the media line.
It's one of the most polarizing cases in true crime history, and trial is underway. A 16 year veteran of the Boston Police Department, left to die in one of the biggest blizzards in Massachusetts history. Prosecution has charged his girlfriend, 42 year old Karen Read, with his murder, claiming she hit him with her car during a fight and left him to die in the cold. The defense says Read is being framed, set up to take the fall by one of the most powerful families in this Boston suburb- all to protect one of their own.
There are discrepancies in statements, missing camera footage, and deep family ties to everyone from the lead investigator to the attorney general’s office, to the judge. With every new piece of evidence, a new controversy arises.

Conspiracy in Canton - 009
Jury selection is finally underway, and we are days away from opening statements. In this episode, I talk to Dr. Kenny Kinsey about the injuries Office John O'Keefe sustained and how they line up to both theories. I also talk about the OTHER alleged conspiracy in Canton- the allegations against Karen Read and her defense spreading information to the public through Aidan Kearney, aka Turtleboy, in an attempt to skew public opinion and gather support for Read. We also take a look at the federal investigation, the Canton 9, and more.
