Aidan Kearney AKA Turtleboy Hearing of Nov.1, 2023

(The audio takes about 30 seconds to start)

Bail hearing review hearing continued to this date. Kearney's YouTube channel has taken the prosecution in the Karen Read case "to the woodshed" in the words of his attorney and now his attorney says he's being prosecuted by that same law enforcement that has been lost "in the fog of war" in its mission against Kearney, but has not made a solid argument for the charges--witness intimidation and conspiracy--under due process. 

The judge shows his frustration with this new argument, that is outside the freedom of speech argument already brought forward,  saying the prosecution needs time to address it.

This back and forth is fascinating not only because the case has huge implications to journalists and protestors, but is a great education of how real-life court proceedings work. As the lawyer's lack of familiarity with the depths of this case is exposed, as well as the judge's as both make errors of fact regarding what was and was not said on Kearney's Youtube channel.

This fascinating discussion exposes the imperfections of our judicial system, erasing our TV drama ideals, and makes those who follow this and the Karen Read case get a deeper understanding of how the real justice system works.
