John Stamos had this to say about Karen Read trial at Beach Boys show
During a June 10 performance with the Beach Boys in Lowell, Massachusetts, actor John Stamos of "Full House" fame said he had invited Karen Read, the woman accused of killing Boston Police officer John O'Keefe, but she didn't show up.
"I'm addicted to the trial," Stamos said.
Stamos is an avowed true crime fan, according to CNN reporting.
Stamos didn't make his position clear on whether he thought Read was guilty or innocent and played the invitation comment off like a joke. The crowd roared at the reference in acknowledgement.
Stamos is not an official member of the Beach Boys, but he has played with the band for about the last 40 years as a special guest, as he says in the clip.
According to ABC News reporting, Stamos delivered the news of the Beach Boy Brian Wilson's recent passing to bandmate and cousin Mike Love.
"It's absolutely heartbreaking," Stamos said to ABC.
The 12-person panel began deliberating Friday, June 13 on the three charges against Read: second-degree murder, vehicular manslaughter while intoxicated, and leaving the scene of a collision resulting in death.
The jury continued deliberating as of June 16 at 4 p.m.

Alyssa Farah Griffin on Harris's Colbert appearance: ‘Everything that's wrong with Democrats'
Former White House aide and 'The View' co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin weighed in on former Vice President Kamala Harris's appearance on Stephen Colbert's 'The Late Show,' arguing the interview, her first since losing to President Trump in the 2024 election, represents everything that is 'wrong' with Democrats since the November presidential race. 'I was struck by, I'm going to try not be too harsh on this. This interview felt like a microcosm of everything that's wrong with Democrats post-election. I'm going to CBS and this sort of trying to make a point that they fired Stephen Colbert, which many on the left called an attack on democracy, a man who was making $20 million a year, someone I hold in high esteem, but the economics of his show were not working,' Farah Griffin said during her Saturday morning appearance on CNN. 'He was losing $40 million a year. He was in the Ed Sullivan Theater, which is expensive, to talk about the plight of democracy at CBS, a network that's having its own struggles right now, rather than talking about the economics of the situation and playing to something a shrinking audience that is network television, not realizing it's not where the American voters are,' 'The View' co-host said while on CNN's 'Table For Five.' CBS announced in mid-July that it is nixing 'The Late Show with Stephen Colbert,' ending its run in May 2026, arguing it was a 'financial decision.' Harris's appearance on the late-night show was her first interview since losing to Trump in the last Oval Office race, an appearance where she promoted her upcoming book '107 Days,' which will detail her short-lived presidential campaign. The former vice president, who announced on Wednesday that she will not jump into the 2026 California gubernatorial race, further elaborated on her decision. 'I don't want to go back into the system. I think it's broken. I want to travel the country. I want to listen to people, I want to talk with people. And I don't want it to be transactional, where I'm asking for their vote,' Harris told Colbert, who criticized CBS and its parent company, Paramount Global, for pulling the plug. When asked on the Thursday show who should be the leader of the Democratic Party, as it deals with plummeting approval numbers and looks to spark more enthusiasm, the vice president argued that it would be a mistake to put 'it on the shoulders of any one person.' 'It's really on all of our shoulders,' she said. Farah Griffin, who has been critical of Trump and said late last year that she voted for Harris during the 2024 election cycle, stated on CNN that 'It felt like if everyone who was advising her [Harris], told her this was a good idea, that is not where I would have made the grand come back … it's like announcing your exploratory committee on the sinking deck of The Titanic.'
