the case was not complicated at all. 2 FBI witnesses testified that he was not killed by a car.
Exactly. It's bizarre to me that people keep saying it's a complex case when it's crystal clear that he was not killed by being hit by a car. Should have been an easy acquittal by the facts.
Lack of scientific literacy?
Juror did not know the FBI was involved
I disagree - I believe she sideswiped him - but it should not have been murder. She was drunk.
@@jane6989FYI, the FBI experts were not paid by the Defense attorneys. They felt compelled to testify for the sake of justice!
Don't forget the federal investigation against the prosecution and witnesses
Defense lawyers will note so for the jury at the beginning of the retrial. How would the DA uncook the PD tampered evidence for a retrial?😂😂😂
The jurors were suppose to follow the EVIDENCE! Not go off their emotions period!
Rene, sounds like you are in ‘emotional distress’ over the absolute FAILURE of prosecutors, cops and judge to railroad, destroy and jail innocent person. Everybody Knows Who Was At Fault & IT ISN’T KAREN READ.
Yeah. They did. The physics and the math said not guilty.
First, I know for myself despite instructions, my sympathetic nerve would be struck especially with any autopsy photos. That being said, I could certainly resolve my emotions and focus on the facts or lack thereof.
Personally, I don't see the case being retried given its taint at this point.
Even if it were cleansed of unprofessionalism, misconduct and tunnel vision, I think the Commonwealth would rather move on from the focus onto its small town...especially if it could raise suspicion into previous prosecutions by their associated law enforcement.
It would be a waste of time to retry. They won’t get a conviction in this tainted case
The prosecution is lying. They won't retry it, because they have no hope of winning, and they're at risk of malicious prosecution.
Morrisey didn’t jump the gun. He leaped to shout out retrial faster than the speed of sound. Im disgusted with the Norfolk County DA. I’m hoping the federal investigation once it concludes , is the game changer that acquitts Karen Read.
And hopefully prosecutes Morrissey, Tully, proctor, bukaki, canone and the whole bunch of them including the mcalberts🤬
They keep saying the public is divided but every single poll I've seen says 85 -90% say she is innocent
He was beat to a pulp in the house, carried to a car, and dropped in the snow by the people in the house.
💯 what happened
That’s what ALL the actual evidence points to.
@@kasarija nah its points to crazy drunk karen.
This investigation was so biased and botched right from the beginning. It’s not fair to Karen at all. It should be dismissed. Her rights have been violated because of the way they did this investigation.
all you talk about is karen you remind me of jan karen karen karen give it a rest a life was lost
Oh please stop fueling the insanity of lies
@@wiseup8729 these stations these fake news station on social media are not mainstream.
@@wiseup8729 These people are nuts.
They all say they will retrial. To save face. Let’s see
How can these people think he was hit by a car??
He was beaten
because he was
Not complicated at all because Lexus doesn’t bite like a dog 😂
True and have you tried to give this a thumbs down? I did but it has magically disappeared.
100%
no but an undercarriage under a vehicle can cause those injuries.
@@user-ii2uh1xq7b bs, not even the idiot witness for the prosecution said that🤣
@@user-ii2uh1xq7bbut it only hits his arm?. Sure
Hour by hour the state's case for a re-trial gets more mountainous.
Bullshite. They can't change the math, the physics or the biology(injuries).
Lally crew are so wrong is it because they know all the real guilty ones which isn't Karen Reed my opinion thanks 😊😊
There's no explanation possible about the jury members who were on the guilty side, except that they were strongly biased to the police community or against KR, other than they were plain idiots. No sane, normal person starting in the neutral mindset could have looked at the evidence and testimonies and not see a mountain of reasonable doubt. Take away the names, genders, origins and professions of people involved and look at just the evidence, there is no proof the victim was actually hit by a car, and plenty of evidence to the contrary. I've never seen a judge try to railroad a conviction in any trial, this was a first and it was shockingly obvious. I wonder how the judge and the jury siding with guilty feels today after seeing the breaking news of Proctor being rehomed, just like the dog Chloe. Essentially, those jurors stood by a vote of confidence in the lead investigator by trusting his testimony, which to anyone with eyes was a stinky pile of BS. That the state police waited for the end of the trial to announce this is just another sign of how deep their manipulation of the community they serve is inbedded into that system. This is not a good look for the whole justice system in that state, seems they go by "guilty 'til proven innocent" there and they'll do anything to uphold that.
Very well stated. This should have been an instant acquittal. And Bev should recuse herself if this goes forward.
Yes and that's why a retrial is just setting taxpayers money on fire. There will ALWAYS be someone who is procop/anti KR on ANY jury they get. Normally the gov would keep retrying until the defendant runs out of money and has to take a plea, but KR has enough of a following that donors will keep her in the fight as long as it takes.
You are 100 PERCENT correct in your statement.
Wrong
Can't go back to square 1... 😂😂😂 Can't undo this entire trial. Good luck to the prosecution finding a jury that havn't watched and seen all this. Ain't gonna happen. There isn't going to be a retrial.
This whole trial was a joke. Both sides asked for a continence. They had so many breaks and half days. The courtroom setup was ridiculous. How are jurors supposed to keep up.
Zero need for 75% of the witnesses that Lally called. He called everyone who was at the basketball game probably.
I strongly felt that the “frame job” thing shouldn’t have been brought up as a defense. I think letting the ugly stuff come out naturally during the trial would have created some mistrust or reasonable doubt without trying to convince them. Let the testimony speak for itself
How many $’s did the DA spend on this miss trial ?
LALLY GIVE IT UP, STOP WASTING TAXPAYERS MONEY.
is a life worth your tax money? tell karen to fess up
Advantage to the defense!
how much money is a mans life worth?
If the case is tried again, will the prosecution be putting Proctor on the stand?
I'm sure the defense would call him 😊
@@paulaheckman9928 doesnt matter they already heard it
@@user-ii2uh1xq7b doesn't hurt to hear it again. He was so disgusting! 😉
Proctor releaved of duty
AND MY EX, IS A DRUNK, COP, SO YEAH, THEY GET DRUNK
LIE, GET VIOLENT ETC.. RECORDINGS OF HIM DRUNK PURE, TOM FOOLERY!
And all his buddies I'll bet. You know better than most #ACAB.
Even with the new prosecutor...yenetti and jackson will say ...let them come...quote by optimus prime
well jackson said the decision is to be innocent how did that work out?
But I thought the jury note said they were " Deeply divided"
I bet Bev warned the jurors not to talk!
Here in the Netherlands, our law school students and professors are happy with this outcome. This case was frazzled on all sides. We don't know if she is guilty, but we also don't know if the Albert's are guilty. All because of poor investigation, bias, and many false facts.
she is not guilty because 2 FBI experts testified that he was not killed by a car
If you couldn't follow the experts hired by the FBI who testified JO was NOT killed by a car, I would never want any of your law students or professors to represent me.
Here in the UK the crown prosecution service would never have let the case proceed with the lack of credible evidence.
I'm sick of hearing how great, the best everything in the USA is but there's this type of cr*p and there's the corrupt SCOTUS and then to top it all, Trump...
Separate from the physical evidence that proved he wasn't hit by a car, your statement of not knowing who killed John O'Keefe means there was reasonable doubt, so based on that she should have been acquitted on all counts.
B@vegefranz but did jurors know that they paid by the fbi??
They might have thought that they were hired by the defence.
Can’t wait for re-trial …. Boom!!
The topmost critical piece of evidence apparently ignored by many (including Lally intentionally) is the before-and-after tail light condition.
All by itself, this one piece of evidence necessarily means that:
(1) Lally’s hit-and run scenario with the dozens of shattered tailight pieces did NOT happen… and…
(2) someone shattered the previously only-cracked tail light AFTER Proctor and Bukhenik brought the Lexus back to Canton from Dighton.
In his closing, Jackson even put up the side-by-side before-and-after pictures of the tail light. But some jurors just can’t remember details and their significance. And other jurors are not ones to let facts cloud their judgement. It’s all very scary especially when the stakes are a murder charge. It’s alarming to me that the trial even started… let alone ran as long as it did… despite this obvious piece of exculpatory evidence.
*** BEFORE Condition: This is Jan 29 at 5:07 AM (minutes before John was found) up until Jan 29 afternoon in Dighton:
The “before” state is a much less damage described as “cracked”, “missing a piece”, having “a little black hole” and supported by a video and 2 witnesses who saw it.
VIDEO: As Karen is leaving John’s driveway at 5:08 AM after bumping into John’s Traverse and cracking the Lexus tail light, John’s security camera video shows the Lexus tail light with much red light facing rearward but with a dark defect while leaving John’s driveway.
WITNESS 1: Kerry Roberts (not exactly a defense-friendly witness) testified Day 16, May 22 (CZcams, Law & Crime @3:15) observing the Lexus tail light at Jen McCabe’s house shortly before John was found the morning ofJan 29:
“And I looked and there was a piece missing… but it was caked on with snow… you could tell there was a little black hole…”
WITNESS 2: Dighton Police Sergeant Barros testified Day 22, June 10 (CZcams, Law & Crime @2:04) about his observations in Dighton of the cracked tail light Jan 29 afternoon shortly before Proctor had the Lexus brought back to Canton:
“I saw there was some damage to the right rear tail light… um... to my best ability and recollection that tail light was not completely damaged. It was cracked and a piece was missing, but not completely damaged”
*** AFTER Condition: This is sometime in the afternoon of Jan 29 after Proctor and Buhenik had the Lexus brought back from Dighton to Canton.
The tail light picture taken is in the sally port shows the tail light shattered, not just missing a piece as in Dighton as Sergeant Barros described. At this time there is no rear-facing red lens remaining but instead just the underlying silver reflector. What little red remains is on the edge of the right-facing wrap-around side.
The dozens of shattered pieces magically appeared on the Albert’s lawn and the first pieces were “found” about 5:45 PM. This is about 12 hours after John was found.
So in summary, the tail light was missing a piece, showing red rearward at 5:07 AM Jan 29 which is hours after John was allegedly hit. Then a half day later….late in the afternoon of the same day…. It becomes SHATTERED into dozens of pieces.
For the next trial, if any, the defense should put the shattered tail light (with all that silver reflector showing) back into the Lexus and turn it on in the darkness of a morning like Jan 29 at 5:07 AM and show those two pictures side by side. The difference in the amount of red light should be dramatic.
Always enjoy hearing from Peter Elikann!
guys crazy
Agree at the outset it was snowing and move on from that!
All 12 voted not guilty on 1st charge manslaughter and the 3rd charge but not the 2nd charge. That was hung so I'm not sure why they can still retry on all charges.
Since she is guilty, she should take the first plea offered her, which was like year. She admitted she was guilty in the beginning before Jackson came along with his conspiracy theories.
Can they change the judge? Judge seemed biased.
a jury of your peers ...not unanimous should end trials....that's why we have jury's where is the justice the constitution is clear she should be done with this allegation
It has to be retried. It's a cop who died. Someone did it.
Nope. it has to be re-investigated. Not the same, there is no point on retrying this case. You need a new, vastly different case.
More predictions 😂
Something smells funny… 🤔
What were the guilty votes?
We have no idea yet
10-2 guilty 😑
the were one or two corrupt jurors that voted guilty.
@@Evelyn-minouxnot true.
@@5thdimension954 I read it somewhere but that might be inaccurate. Apologies if I am!
I’m sure the CW will try the case again, they were probably shocked they did so “well” just as the majority of the public was!
Trial 2 starts this month!!
It's a status hearing, calm down lol
@@mtz6198 these are the people who didn't watch the trial 😂
No, just a status hearing.
sounds fishy. Sounds like they knew they werent going to the verdict they wanted and instead of demanded a verdict, they declared a mistrial
??????????? What? The jury was hung, stuck in a deadlock, the only outcome from that is a mistral.
lol This channel is messing with the dislikes. They are getting ratioed and don't want you to know.
This attorney was always bias. He can not give a objective outcome. He was always for Karen Read and she was clearly guilty
Not guilty
Did the car bite John O'Keefe?
@@debraronan8389 no the cares undercarriage caused cuts and abrasions.
Not complicated at all because Lexus doesn’t bite like a dog 😂
A biting dog that doesn’t have a bottom jaw 😂. This magic dog doesn’t have DNA either 😂😂😂
@@stevenprice6957 Do you really believe these cops and support this disaster of an investigation?
@@kc-6837I don’t support anyone. I just look at evidence without bias. I don’t pick teams. I take conspiracies with a grain of salt until I see factual evidence of that conspiracy. I also know that Americans eat them for breakfast. I’m an Aussie mate. We keep it very simple. Common sense is important as is logic. Was the investigation sloppy. Yes. Many reasons but weather didn’t help with a blizzard. Though does that mean that this person didn’t commit a crime. Answer is no. She clipped him as the data shows and his phone does not move within seconds after her crazy reverse. His dna is on the housing of the tail light. Meaning it could only get there one possible way as this was a brand spanking car. Fragments on his clothes. Her saying he’s dead at 5 then 5:01 he’s dead and it was a plough. Then she sees a body than no one saw under snow in close to 6 hours. I’m talking every car that drove by saw nothing. Neighbour nothing. People walking to the driveway nothing. Only Karen. Then to top it off she admits it. Guilty.
@@stevenprice6957 I respect your opinion, I was just curious. I'm just going on reasonable doubt. I believe there is a lot of it. Appreciate your comment.
@@kc-6837thanks for a normal decent response. I am not used to it on these pages. It’s usually abuse. Your response is the way it should be. An opinion is just that.
