Hon. Beverly J. Cannone (Norfolk) This is by far the worst judge I've ever seen. The bias is IN YOUR FACE against the defense. She is nasty shippy when she has no choice but to side with the defense, and is clearly stomping all over the constitution of the USA, as a matter of fact, in her courtroom the constitution does not even exist. There are clear Brady violations, and she treats/allows others to treat EXPERT witnesses like they're idiots, while allowing the CW to bring witnesses with no credibility. She is allowing the CW to waste tax payers money, and showing the world that its in their best Interest to never visit the state of Mass. It's sickening to watch the lengths at which this judge will allow the CW to do for a win at any cost. . There should be enough bad reviews to get someone to really LOOK AT WHAT IS HAPPENING. She needs to be removed from the bench! Other - (4/30/2025 2:49:47 AM)

Hon. Beverly J. Cannone (Norfolk) Beverly needs to be reminded that the WORLD, and the FEDS are watching. She has sat on that bench and made false representations saying she treats the prosecution and defense equally. Her "grave concerns" tell us otherwise. On multiple occasions, she has warned the defense about "theatrics" and "hyperbole" outside of the presence of the jury, but today 4/28/25 she let the "prosecutor" run her courtroom, disrespect witnesses, and even cut her off to continue berating an expert witness. She says the defense is hiding evidence (which they ARE NOT) but not one word about the constitutional violations from the prosecution like videos being turned over 3 years later that was a CLEAR CUT BRADY VIOLATION. Beverlys behavior gives the community at large grave concerns, and she should be first up on the federal investigation list. This sham of a trial should have NEVER made it this far. THIS IS NOT HOW OUR JUSTICE SYSTEM IS SUPPOSED TO WORK. Where there is even a hint of impartiality, to preserve the public trust in our court system, a judge must recuse themselves. We are far beyond a hint. She has multiple personal connections to witnesses, that alone is enough for recusal. She is now so pro prosecution that she is coaching witnesses "can you answer that", and helping the prosecutor when she actually sustains a defense objection she tells the prosecutor the grounds. She most certainly does not give that same courtesy to the defense. Her actions in this case have been disgraceful to say the least, and the editors of this website clearly know that seeing as how almost every single review from 2024 has been removed. I can't say it enough...THIS IS NOT HOW OUR COURT SYSTEM IS SUPPOSED TO WORK. If the citizens can no longer trust our legal system, what does that do to our community? It dismantles it. Beverly Cannone is giving every other respectable judge in Norfolk County a bad name, and hopefully they will hold her to account because at this point it she is behaving like she is above the law. THE WORLD AND THE FEDS ARE WATCHING YOU BEVERLY. Other - (4/28/2025 7:36:13 PM)

Hon. Beverly J. Cannone (Norfolk) I used to work in law. I went to court and watched many judges preside over cases. This is honestly the first time (besides Judge Ito) [Redacted by Ed] She is so biased that she can’t even FAKE being fair. It’s so clear in the Karen Reed trial that all of the prosecution witnesses are lying through their teeth. The judge sustains every single objection and even prompts the prosecutor to object even before he gets it out of his mouth. She plays for the prosecution team by not allowing obvious evidence to be thoroughly examined and questioned. After the very first defense witnesses are lying, she told the defense to wrap it up!! Are you kidding me? How does anyone with morals do that? She has zero morals and will do anything to help the prosecution. This makes me very sad and untrusting with our judicial system. I used to think that the law was upheld and that the system was fair and balanced. This crazy person has ruined the reputation of the judicial system. She’s crabby, mean and short with the defense yet she talks to the prosecution like they are babies who need a diaper change. I’m outraged at this trial. Karen Reed is being set up, not only by the witnesses who are clearly lying under oath, but the JUDGE too! It’s awful to watch. Look out if this judge seats the jury to find Karen guilty. There will be protests all over the country. SHAME ON WHOEVER IS ALLOWING THIS WONAN TO SIT ON THAT BENCH! Other - (4/27/2025 3:39:27 PM)

Hon. Beverly J. Cannone (Norfolk) This judge seems to really not want to be where she is. And I for one wish she’d be thrown off the case. She huffs and puffs and it’s obvious to the courtroom and people watching, the last place she wishes to be is this courtroom. She gets EASILY frustrated by the smallest of things and most everyone picks up on that. Especially when dealing with the defense, never does she show this behavior when dealing with the C.W. She never runs her courtroom on time, she’s always behind and then leaves by 4:00 pm if not before that Criminal Defense Lawyer - (4/25/2025 11:16:44 AM)

Hon. Beverly J. Cannone (Norfolk) This judge is so one-sided, inconsiderate and rude. She should not be on the bench! She is a nightmare bad for business in the state of Massachusetts. She refuses to call out inconsistency / lies in testimony and stops defense at any point where they're making headway. She has a side in this fight and she's made it pretty obvious.

Hon. Beverly J. Cannone (Norfolk) Day 1 of the Karen Read trial: Cannone tells the defense to wrap it up on the first witness! Day 2: Cannone telling the defense, we are not playing the video again! I could literally go on and on about how disgusted, mortified, and embarrassed I am to admit I'm from Massachusetts. The judicial system is shot due to judges like Cannone. She could care less that her biases show everytime the defense is trying to defend Karen Read. The appellate issues from this trial (#2) are pages. How can a judge get away with completely disregarding the Constitution? Karen Read is getting very, very far from a fair trial. Any attorney or judge who looks into Cannone's actions will be appalled to say the least. Cannone needs to be investigated and she needs to be held accountable for violating the Constitutional rights of Karen Read and making a mockery out of the MA judicial system. She is doing everything she can to ensure Karen does not get a fair and unbiased trial. Cannone does not care, and rules and regulations do not apply to the prosecution, and that should scare all Norfolk County citizens. Other - (4/24/2025 5:41:52 PM)

Hon. Beverly J. Cannone (Norfolk) As someone who's followed the Karen Read trial from day one, I have to say — the most disturbing part hasn’t just been the prosecution’s wild and speculative narrative, it has been Judge Beverly Cannone’s absolute failure to ensure fairness in her courtroom. Here are some key reasons why I believe she’s compromised the integrity of the entire first trial, second trial pre trial and which looks set to be amped up even as of day 1 in this second trial! 1. Biased Rulings Against the Defense She barred the defense from naming third-party suspects despite them presenting motive, opportunity, and digital evidence. This wasn’t a legal technicality — it was a tactical silencing of a valid defense strategy. 2. Objection Handling Is a Joke The prosecution can lead witnesses, speculate, and get dramatic with no pushback. The defense? Constantly shut down. Sustained. Sidebar. Overruled. It’s like watching a rigged game play out in real time. 3. Protecting Prosecution Witnesses from Accountability Jennifer McCabe introduced the “I hit him” quote for the first time at trial. Not in interviews, not in grand jury — nowhere else. And no audio or video picked it up. Any judge worth their robe would have questioned that. Cannone didn’t flinch. 4. Disregard for Evidentiary Chain of Custody Dog DNA, key phone records, deleted calls — all handled with the care of a soap opera script. Yet Cannone hasn’t shown any urgency about that mishandling. She lets the prosecution hide behind half-measures while demanding exacting detail from the defense.. 5. Attempting to Push Out ARCCA, a Highly Qualified Defense Expert The defense hired ARCCA — one of the most reputable digital forensic firms in the country. Instead of respecting their credentials and independence, Cannone has consistently tried to undercut or limit their testimony, even while the prosecution withheld metadata crucial to their analysis. You can’t demand perfect science from one side and let the other hoard evidence like it’s classified. 6. No Pressure on the Commonwealth to Comply with Discovery Let’s be clear: The prosecution failed to turn over metadata — a basic requirement in a digital evidence case. This isn’t a minor oversight. It prevents the defense from conducting a full forensic analysis. Cannone’s response? Silence. No sanctions. No pressure. Just business as usual. This is also just an example, there are many more ridiculous examples. 7. The Optics Don’t Lie Sidebars heavily favor the Commonwealth. Her tone changes depending on who’s speaking. It’s clear she’s more referee for the prosecution than neutral judge. Bottom line, this isn’t what justice looks like. Cannone hasn’t just made questionable calls — she’s allowed a trial with serious forensic and testimonial inconsistencies to proceed while handcuffing the defense. It’s more damage control than due process, and it’s undermined the entire system. Other - (4/23/2025 8:55:32 AM)

Hon. Beverly J. Cannone (Norfolk) I am appalled and disgusted by Cannone’s blatant disregard for “interest of justice”. As the Bible says; You will know them by their fruit. Cannone has shown over and over again her biases towards the defense, with her unethical behavior when addressing the defense’s motions and rebuttals despite the factual evidence they provide to her. Her hypocrisy is astounding when you compare her rulings towards the CW vs the defense. If Cannone represents the judicial system in MA; everyone should be terrified of living there much less being a tourist. No one could expect to get a fair trial in MA, with a judge like Cannone making a total mockery of our judicial system. Other - (4/23/2025 3:12:31 AM)
