Like most of you, I thought this was an abysmal trial, and while frustrated, I am not surprised it resulted in a hung jury.
Unlike many, I do hope the CW restructures their case and files again because I do want to see cogent evidence led and tested. I want the truth (or at least the best that the justice system can deliver). JO'K, Karen Read and their families all deserve that.
CW if you go forward, lead medical evidence to explain the arm injuries, respond properly to the biomechanical engineer, and fix irregularities in the key times. Explain why Lucky's observations and those of Ryan Nagel should reasonably be dismissed. Find out who owns that car and why it was there. Don't reverse a video, and clean up (as best you can) your stable of witnesses. You can't recreate the chain of custody - but you can and must do better.
The FBI investigation will hopefully bolster the defence's assertions of a cover up since they seem intent on not only achieving a not guilty verdict, but proving innocence (which of course is their wish but not their burden). The testimony of the targeted has been memorialized now, and may open further avenues for the defence to explore.
Canadian obviously with the spelling of defence. Anyway, thanks all for the thoughtful insights you have shared, both for and against.
