During the interview, they highlighted a pivotal moment in the prosecution's case: special prosecutor Hank Brennan's misstep concerning holes in the victim's sweatshirt. Brennan attributed these holes to the incident, but the defense revealed they were made by a state police technician, undermining the prosecution's credibility.

The attorneys also criticized the police investigation, pointing out scene mismanagement and forensic inconsistencies. They emphasized the importance of thorough forensic analysis and the role it played in Read's acquittal on major charges.
Karen Read was ultimately found not guilty of murder, manslaughter, and fleeing the scene but was convicted of drunken driving, resulting in a one-year probation sentence
