It is strange for a journalist to stay at a subject's home, but Karen Read's offer to Vanity Fair's Julie Miller last year was audacious: three days during which she would discuss any and every aspect of her life and her complicated legal saga with the commonwealth of Massachusetts. There was no lawyer present or conversation parameters, even though anything she said on the record could be used against her in her current and second murder trial that started Tuesday, April 1. "There's nothing we're afraid of," she told Miller. "Any question you have, I have answers for."
Prosecuted for her police officer boyfriend's mysterious death in a wild case that ended in a mistrial, the former equity analyst has maintained her innocence. Moreover, she claims that law enforcement has conspired to frame her. And a juror from her first trial recently told VF in her only interview, "I waited for nearly a year after the mistrial, hoping the court system would work as intended to remedy some of the wrongs in this case."
In this edition of the VF Archive digest, we dive into a murder trial that has all the elements of a thriller. Plus, a veteran producer recalls his seven-year friendship with the tempestuous legend Bette Davis, and Matt Berman writes about a budding friendship with John F. Kennedy Jr. in his memoir.
