Mind Behind The Crime | The Psychology Of Killers

In the latest episode of 'Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski', psychotherapist and author Shavaun Scott discusses the intense and emotional testimonies in the ongoing trial of Karen Read, focusing on star witness Jen McCabe. Scott addresses the backlash against witnesses displaying anger, noting the extreme harassment they've faced over the years. She describes the disturbing behavior of online trolls, led by a notorious blogger, who have targeted witnesses and their families with vile and traumatic actions, including explicit threats. Scott emphasizes the psychological toll such harassment takes, suggesting that the witnesses' emotional reactions are understandable. During the trial, the defense's strategy appears to exacerbate these emotions, causing distress. The conversation then shifts to McCabe's testimony, where she is repeatedly pressed about a specific Google search related to hypothermia, leading to a contentious exchange that illustrates the tension and frustration present in the courtroom. Scott criticizes the defense's aggressive approach, questioning its purpose and impact on the jury.
