VERDICT WATCH MA - Professor Karen Read, 43, charged with murdering police officer boyfriend John O'Keefe by hitting him with car, Canton, 14 Apr 2023 #35 Retrial

Side note: It has always bothered me when I hear prosecutors and/or low enforcement drive home the fact that "this crime is so heinous" or "the victim was such a great person" or "the defendant is such a horrible person."

None of that matters. We can all agree on those facts. But it proves nothing. None of that matters if you have the wrong person.
 
So let me get this straight, when the Commonwealth strings together guesses, speculation, and “maybe this happened” for two years, it’s gospel. But when the defense lays out an alternate timeline based on their own evidence, witness testimony, and reasonable doubt, it’s suddenly “lies” and “confusing the jury”?

That’s literally what defense attorneys are supposed to do in a criminal trial. Challenge the narrative, expose contradictions, and show the jury that the prosecution hasn’t proven their case beyond a reasonable doubt. If you’re mad the jury is confused, maybe ask why the state didn’t give them a clean, consistent story with actual evidence.

MOO
Yes. And the jury isn't confused anyway IMO . They know for a certainty BARD that there was no collision. Nothing could be clearer. Jackson is right, if they fulfill their sworn duty they have to acquit. Nothing confusing about that. Jmo
