The aftermath of the Karen Learn homicide trials is beginning to remind me of what supposedly occurred to all of the looters who robbed King Tut’s tomb in Egypt greater than a century in the past.
The legend is that all of them died horrible, untimely deaths – due to the traditional curse of the pharaohs. Keep in mind all these mummy films?
It’s been lower than seven months since Karen Learn bought her (second) not-guilty verdict. And her tormentors are all abruptly, painfully departing the scene or, on the very least, turning into ensnared in a single humiliation after one other.
Meatball Morrissey, Michael Proctor, the Canton selectmen, the Home Defendants, all people within the Canton PD, BPD Commissioner Michael Cox, Sgt. Sean Goode, Kelly Dever….
Name it the Curse of Karen Learn.
And now the Curse is taking out events with solely tangential connections to the made-for-TV, ripped-from-the-headlines case.
The newest Karen Learn tormentor to go down is former Boston police sergeant Marty Kraft. His connection? He’s, or was, a non-public eye.
And sources say Kraft employed his former BPD pal Brian Albert after the lifeless physique appeared on Albert’s entrance garden at 34 Fairview Highway they usually all determined to pin it on the woman – Karen Learn.
Albert instantly retired, offered his home in Canton and fled. However he nonetheless wanted a job and there was his BFF Marty Kraft in his flourishing post-police profession as a p.i.
Now, nevertheless, the Curse of Karen Learn has reared its head as soon as extra. Marty Kraft, benefactor to the Home Defendants, has himself been struck down. The State Police have pulled his P.I.’s license. Once you go to his web site, a giant message pops up:
“Kraft Investigations just isn’t accepting new circumstances right now.”
His license was not renewed after a moderately tawdry incident in Newburyport final July 2.
The native cops have been known as to a residence by the male house owner, who was within the means of divorcing his spouse. When the 911 caller returned to his house, his spouse wasn’t there.
However think about his shock when he found a fully-loaded Sig Sauer P938, “in his bed room, tucked underneath bedding.”
You solely get one guess who the firearm, in a hid leather-based holster, belonged to.
This from the Newburyport PD report:
“(The husband’s title, redacted) additionally pointed to intercourse toys on the mattress, which he claimed weren’t his. Mr. (redacted) suspects that (redacted) had company on the residence. (Redacted) knowledgeable me that he found the intercourse toys underneath the mattress.”
A loaded firearm within the bed room? With a bunch of intercourse toys stuffed underneath the mattress? In a home occupied by somebody “well-known to the police division,” the cops having handled the proprietor “a complete of 75 instances from 2020 to current.”
Marty Kraft, age 71, you bought some ‘splainin’ to do!
By the best way, Kraft lives in Mansfield. Karen Learn additionally owned a house in Mansfield, till she needed to promote it to pay her authorized payments. Humorous how the crooked cops at all times appeared to know who was stopping by Karen’s home. Simply sayin’….
Do you see now what I imply concerning the Curse of Karen Learn?
As a Boston cop, Kraft was well-known, or possibly notorious is the higher phrase, for at all times touchdown on his ft.
I pulled his BPD Officer Resume from Inside Affairs – 21 pages! At one level his father-in-law was Mickey Roache, the police commissioner, and he nonetheless bought fired. (He bought his job again).
Together with the police report, I’m going to submit his whole BPD resume at my web site, howiecarrshow.com. Fifteen of the 40 or so complaints towards Kraft have been sustained. A variety of them have been from his fellow cops.
Right here’s a sampling of the complaints towards Kraft, some sustained, some not:
“Sgt. Kraft used the time period, ‘I command you.’… Sgt. Ignored direct order and positioned his handcuffs on the suspect… Sgt. Kraft continued to shout and swear as he walked away from the realm… Referred to shoppers outdoors as ‘junkies’…. Kraft known as his place of employment telling the supervisor that he was a drug supplier. He was subsequently fired from his job.
“Kraft used extreme pressure upon his individual slamming his head towards the Plexiglass on the reserving desk… Sgt. Kraft started to verbally insult her… made racially insensitive feedback to him… Sgt. Kraft responded, ‘I don’t give a bleep about Inside Affairs. Once you get there, inform them I stated bleep them.’”
And so forth. You’ll be able to see why he and Brian Albert have been so simpatico.
However ultimately, similar to Brian Albert, Kraft at all times skated, even after the various suspensions.
After discovering the gun among the many intercourse toys, the Newburyport Police charged Kraft with illegal storage of a firearm. In district court docket, the clerk refused to challenge a grievance, and Kraft’s run of luck appeared to be persevering with into his golden years.
However then the State Police stepped in and immediately his p.i.’s license was not renewed. The MSP declined to touch upon the document why they yanked his ticket.
However I do know why they did it. It’s the Curse of Karen Learn.
However wait, it will get even weirder. Simply as Marty Kraft was shedding his license, guess who determined to get a P.I. license of his personal?
None aside from Brian Albert, Marty’s one-time employed hand.
As of October, Brian Albert grew to become the principal of his personal private-eye agency generally known as FEBA Consulting. Not an incredible title – he ought to have known as it “Butt Dials ‘R’ Us.” Or possibly if he’d introduced in his butt-dialing buddy Brian Higgins, they may have known as it, “Jameson & Ginger LLC.”
In accordance with his license, Albert’s new company is predicated in Brockton, at 1342 Belmont Road, Suite 104.
Have you learnt who’s upstairs in that very same constructing, in Suite 203? None aside from the traditional lawyer Kevin Reddington, who has been a lawyer for none aside from… Jen McCabe, the dentally challenged witness towards Karen Learn who lied repeatedly to the FBI, with out consequence.
What a coincidence, that one of many Home Defendants in Karen Learn’s civil swimsuit would arrange an workplace in the identical constructing because the lawyer for one of many different Home Defendants.
It doesn’t get rather more Canton than that, does it?
I known as each Marty Kraft and Brian Albert for a remark. Neither of them returned my calls.
Not even a butt dial.
