Buckle in. This one’s equal parts ghost story and indictment of a system that nearly failed a young woman until a mother and a myth forced it to listen. A Bride, a Blacksmith, and a Burial Too Soon In October 1896, Elva Zona Heaster  Zona to friends fell head over heels for a handsome drifter and blacksmith named Edward Stribbling Trout Shue.

Karen Read, The Boston Police, and the Cover-Up: Why I Believe She Was Framed

KAREN READ, THE BOSTON POLICE, AND THE BATTLE FOR TRUTH Why I Believe She Was Framed – and How a Blogger Became Her Loudest Ally By RICHIE D MOWREY for The Sassy Gazette (The Gossip You Didn’t Know You Needed) Executive Summary Karen Read’s murder trials will go down as one of Massachusetts’ most divisive legal sagas. On paper, it was about whether Read backed over her boyfriend, Boston Police Officer John O’Keefe, and left him to die in a blizzard. But in reality? It was about corruption, credibility, and whether the Boston Police Department and Norfolk County DA’s Office would protect their own at all costs even if it meant framing an innocent woman. I’ve said from the start: I believe Karen Read is innocent. I believe she was targeted in a sloppy, politically protected cover-up, where the truth was bent, twisted, and buried. The DA’s Office? In my opinion, they’re no better than the cops they work with they lie, spin, and hide evidence when it suits them. And if it weren...
