Aidan Kearney, a blogger known for his controversial posts, faces a new witness intimidation charge related to the Karen Read murder case. Allegedly, he targeted a witness by speaking directly into a security camera outside a pizzeria owned by the witness. Kearney has been fighting previous intimidation charges related to this case while his defense argues his actions are misguided but not illegal. The prosecution contrasts his courtroom demeanor with his polarizing public persona, emphasizing the potential for intimidation he poses to witnesses.
Kearney's defense attorney stressed that his client's actions might have been "unwise," but maintained they were not illegal as he merely spoke to a security camera at night.
Prosecutor Cosgrove emphasized the duality of Aidan Kearney's persona, alleging that the courtroom version of Kearney is vastly different from the controversial blogger seen in public.
Throughout the legal proceedings, Kearney has published numerous blog installments alleging a cover-up in the murder case of Boston police officer John O'Keefe and attacking witnesses.
Cosgrove likened Kearney's actions to "water torture," criticizing his conduct as a distraction aimed at intimidating witnesses in the ongoing investigation.
