Prosecutor Adam Lally delivering his closing argument in Karen Read murder trial tells the jury to remember her words at the scene…”I hit him,I hit him,I hit him…oh my god I hit him”

Brian Albert is on camera during the entirety of Alan Jackson's closing. I find myself watching him very closely. Lots of explanations for him looking very uncomfortable, but I know what my explanation of that is...

I hope he felt very uncomfortable.

He came out swinging ‘I hit him x4. Very strong even if altered from ‘Did I hit him’

as the victim was not hit , it was moot.

Brian Albert, Jen McCabe, Colin Albert and Kerry Roberts remain seated with the O'Keefe family. By inviting them here, the O'Keefe's may be sending a signal to the jury about whose story they believe.

I'm patiently waiting for your "BAM!" post when the jury comes back with a verdict!

I wonder if there's a chance they came under their own steam? I was assuming that the O'Keefe's wanted them there (because denial) but perhaps they just showed up.

I honestly didn't know anything about how the victim family feels about Karen or anyone else involved.

Neither do I

But I don't think it is crazy to think they might have gone in thinking 'law enforcement got the right person yay' to 'what the hell did Brian Albert/Colin Albert/Brian Higgins/Chloe do this'

It's all just so messed up

I think he did, I watched him too.. very very uncomfortable...

Isn't it just. I wonder if there's a chance they came under their own steam? I was assuming that the O'Keefe's wanted them there (because denial) but perhaps they just showed up.

another stunt...
Despicable, particularly after the weekend antics seen wide and far...

He would not stop fidgeting and jutting his neck in different directions during defense closing. He was also rolling his eyes. It was incredibly distracting.

My laptop is on full screen. It was awful, but worth it, extremely uncomfortable.

First time I have seen AJ nervous. Lally came out swinging. I think KR will be found guilty. AJ missed a huge point the Police did not go to the funeral

I think we must watching different trials.

 

[Moonsie]

how much extra time did the fair judge let him have

He only went about 30sec over. I timed it

Edited to clarify seconds

Extraordinarily qualified experts testified this man did not die from being struck by a vehicle.

Nothing else matters.

How long can the jury deliberate today?

hours, months, until they are done.

@BienickWCVB

The judge says they must not consider the fact that Read chose not to testify nor even discuss it during deliberations.

Judge explains second-degree murder: 1/ defendant caused a death 2/ intended to do so, intended to serious harm, or did something that a reasonable person would know created strong likelihood of death. (This is more than negligence.)

Vehicular manslaughter while under the influence: 1/ operated motor vehicle 2/ drove on public roads 3/ under the influence of alcohol with BAC of 0.08% or greater 4 / drove wantonly or recklessly 5/ caused death.

That courtroom is so tiny, it may have been the only place for them to sit. It looks to me like they were strategic about which family members to send. They probably knew how many chairs they were given permission to fill.

IMO MOO

Ah what do I do? My nation’s football* team has an important match against Slovenia which starts in two hours, but if I watch it I might miss the verdict!

@JHall7news

Judge Cannone tells jurors Karen Read has an absolute right to not testify.Tells jurors they can't hold that against her. She runs down the charges: 1/ 2nd degree murder 2/ manslaughter while driving drunk 3/ leaving the scene of an accident/crash causing serious injury or death
