      It's disturbing, especially when you think about people who have found themselves in a situation legally who didn't have the floodlight that was shining in this case, or the means to hire top notch attorneys as Karen did.

      I wonder if some jurors felt that the weeks of prosecution witnesses meant there was a lot of evidence and that the defence presented little, that is, the jurors depended on impressions rather than analysis. Distressed - no untainted evidence. Clearly, as many people say I think KR factually innocent.

      I've heard the reporters in court saying it's often hard to hear because of the AC/fans and jury has only one screen too small for how far away it is to look at. They literally may not see or hear as well as we can... Sure they have all the evidence to look at in the end, but it's not as effective as seeing it clearly in real time.

      I blame Massachusetts. Like Melanie said in one of her videos ... they allow ury to take notes, but also mention to them "it's hard to take notes and pay attention." They don't offer transcripts, nor read backs of testimony. That's a mess! With days of testimony, and so many people on the stand, how the heck do you not miss something? I'm a member of a Facebook page for this case, an all opinions welcome page so it's not one sided ... and you'd be surprised how many people argue their opinion ... and they quote things that were never said. Like: "Karen admitted she hit something on the lawn!: Um "on the lawn?" That was never said. Or they say thing like "The medical examiner said he was hit by a car." Um, no. The medical examiner said that John died of blunt force trauma and hypothermia, but the manner of death is undetermined.
      Massachusetts needs to get with the times ... we need transcripts. I bet if the jury could have gotten certain transcripts to review, this wouldn't be a hung jury.

    • @nelsona8285
      @nelsona8285 Před 22 dny

      Here are two things the jury didn't hear that they should have:
      The federal government spent tons of money, time, and resources. They got Grand Jury testimony from Brian Albert, Brian Higgins, Trooper Proctor and who knows how many other people. They got phone records and text messages. They likely conducted wire taps of individuals we know of and don't know of. They investigated a lot of people that were NOT Karen Read. The Grand Jury is over. How do we know? Because the DOJ has NO Obligation and would not have released that 3,000 page report if the grand jury was still standing. The grand jury would have had to issue indictments BEFORE ending. They did not. The US Attorney's Office is on the record stating that Brian Albert and Brian Higgins are not targets of their investigation. All of this is extremely likely to have influenced the jury to believe Karen did it. Why can't the lawyers mention the federal public corruption investigation to the jury? It would be too prejudicial AGAINST Karen Read.
      We did not hear from Karen's brother who is seen on video brushing snow off her SUV EXCEPT for Passenger tail light. Why didn't the Defense put him on the stand to testify that the tail light was not in the same condition as sally port photo? He would have been the BEST Defense witness with direct knowledge of evidence. Instead, they called individuals that had no direct knowledge and only testified with expert opinion.
      These two things, not heard by jury would likely prove her guilt.
      Sources now say the jury split was 10 guilty 2 not guilty. I won't believe anything not confirmed, but the DA immediately saying they are going to re-try shows they are confident. Also, the judge and lawyers do know the jury split. Also, the lawyers were seeing the jurors eyes and ONLY the Defense wanted a mistrial declared early.

    Don't tell me someone is that ignorant to think if a person was struck by an auto at approx. 24 mph there would be no bruising and broken bones? We are not made of rubber, if a vehicle no matter the size strikes someone at that speed they will have broken something and of course bruising from the initial impact and then when they strike the ground also. Everyone at some point in their life has banged into something and suffered a bruise, you don't have to be a doctor to realize that.
    Just that alone is enough doubt, not to mention all the other improper police work, etc. To me that indicates someone on that jury had it in for Karen regardless of the mountain of doubt and scientific proof that she did not hit him with her vehicle. Absolutely disgracefull.

    What is troubling to me is this is even a hung jury at all, and I have serious doubts if this system even works. What I saw was shoddy/biased policework, sloppy investigations, incoherent and poorly qualified experts by the prosecutors. Plenty of counter evidence from the defense; better, more qualified and believable experts, conflicting timelines of events. What more did this jury want? What would it have taken to get a guilty verdict? It's as though the standard for reasonable doubt has been elevated to unrealistic levels. Maybe we need to be looking at a jury of experts, not peers. People see what they want to see and disregard the rest, no matter how damning the evidence. I believe that is what happened here. People dug in on both sides. There is no reason for it to be this lopsided.

    The with that said, I am convinced this was a tainted jury.
    I’m in CO and am one to keep an open mind in watching trials all the way to the end. In this case, when I saw the Leaf Blower and Red Solo Cups being used as “Evidence Collection” and listening to their excuse as to why they didn’t go to the office that was just minutes away….yet one drove a similar distance to get the Leaf Blower….Zero sense could be made of that. Then claiming they didn’t have the supplies at the Police Station?! How about calling Crime Scene Investigators as is normally done? Oh wait, forgot for a second there that the whole point was to avoid standard operating procedure!

Praying that Karen can now try to gain some closure her own grief, although she still has a little bit to go now! 🙏🏼🇺🇸💗 I lost my son just 3 and a half years ago now, I do feel for John's parents, and family, although I am very saddened that they can not see what we all do, the evidence of all those who lied, got rid of evidence, and can not see this cover-up.. The truth can not stay hidden.. Just a matter of time! ⏳⏱️⚖️⏱⌛⚖️
    It is the worst pain I have ever experienced losing my son, my first born child..💔 I would stop at Nothing to want to bring those responsible to Justice!! Praying that John's family will choose to look into those who are Responsible for John's death, the actual evidence, it is chilling that they are walking around free..😱 RIP John 💙🙏🏼💙🇺🇸 ⚖️

      Thank you Melanie! ❤ I have been following your channel for some time now, taking interest into wanting to see that Justice prevail like many others. Although this tragedy has brought so much negativity, it has also helped bring to the surface the horrible side of corruption..
      I have always Believed that even through the worst unimaginable situations, people are brought together for a reason! And even through the darkest of life changing tragedies those whom have been touched by tragedy, often it can bring so much positive attention to bring folks together, to raise positive Awareness and seek the truth and Justice! Heartbreaking beyond words that John lost his life so brutally, yet due to this tragedy it has opened a massive hole into the corruption that many are unaware of. I believe once the individuals who are responsible and are brought to Justice, that John will finally be able to rest.. 🙏🏼💙 Praying that it will also help open the door to also seek the Truth behind other cases, as well begin the process to remove corrupt individuals throughout. I pray for closure for John's parents and family.. ⚖️🙏🏼
      I pray that Karen can also one day find peace, happiness and tranquility once this has come to an end, although I am sure it will continue to sadly haunt her, she certainly is one Amazing Strong woman.. 💪🏼🙌🏼💗 Like a few of her supporters stated, "We could all be Karen, it could be any one of Us" it isn't just about one individual, it is about the principal, getting the Truth Out, Stand Up, Speak Up! I too Believe in this, as many of us have the will, the Strength that we often can not see till something beyond horrific forces us with no other way than to go into survival mode.. I have had to overcome many obstacles in my life time, it has only made me Stronger. We all have fought battles that no one knows about, it is about getting back UP, standing our ground, never allowing anyone to put doubt within our minds, or allowing anyone to walk all over us.. Be the Change you want to See in the World!! 💪🏼🙌🏼💪🏼
      Even for the hundreds of thousands of folks who didn't know Karen or John, it certainly has touched so many, watching the evidence unfold, it became clear as day that it "IS" a cover-up, leaving a chill through your soul hearing the horrible way these folks spoke about not only another human being, but knowingly as an "INNOCENT" persons life hangs in the balance, pur Evil! Especially those who you are supposed to be able to entrust, why would anyone think any thing other, till the truth comes to the surface! The so called professionals that we see everyday, weather law enforcement, court employees, or even those who we thought were friends, acquaintances, even family, corruption does not discriminate.. I will add that I have known, and know so many individuals in law enforcement that actually take their jobs seriously, and they do not believe that Karen is guilty.. They are sickened by those whose actions are beyond horrific!! Just a matter of Time.. ⚖️⏳
      I have also been following the Sandra Birchmore case, so heartbreaking, horrific beyond words.. 💔🙏🏼😢 Praying that the investigation can now continue to move forward, it has been said that there is also a huge cover-up with the case, with Specific individuals that have also been involved through Karen's case..
      Thank you Melanie for keeping us updated, bringing us along this journey, for your knowledgeable expert input as well! Love how you have maintained your feeds so eloquently, allowing many to feel safe, and speak their minds in a positive way, raising Awareness is just the beginning!! 🙌🏼💖👌🏼🇺🇸🙏🏼
