NOT GUILTY MA - Professor Karen Read, 43, charged with murdering police officer boyfriend John O'Keefe by hitting him with car, Canton, 14 Apr 2023 #37 Retrial

Same. The F word is very useful and I employ it liberally.

That said, I watched one of the documentaries and I came away with a more than moderate dislike of Karen Read. There’s just something about her that I don’t like (it’s not the language) but I’d never be able to find her guilty. I don’t believe she deliberately hit JO and I don’t think she did it accidentally.

The investigation was like a neon arrow flashing “blame Karen Read,” ignore anything that doesn’t point to her and if there’s insufficient evidence to get an indictment, invent some.

That's mature and right of you. I definitely feel there are many people who dislike KR or feel jealousy toward her and therefore stretch every which way to find her guilty.

CourtTV is showing ceiling fan and saying VERDICT IS IN. Here we go everyone...

Since there is now a verdict, I think it must have been an issue with the form or with not voting officially on one of the charges and then they had to go back to finish that up.

Plan for 10-20 minutes before a verdict is read in open court. Watch LIVE ON #WBZ on TV and all streaming platforms. I'll be in the courtroom. #WBZ

10 to 20 minutes? Read the verdict already !! Something could happen again in those 10 to 20 minutes.

Didn't this happened a few popes ago?
The voting crew switched from black smoke to white smoke and were ready to announce when the smoke turned black again.
I think one of the Cardinals in the voting room accidently emptied his pipe tobacco on the fire and turned the smoke black again by accident.

So, how much have these two trials cost the commonwealth? Over a million? AND over a confusing verdict form and unclear instructions form this judge?

Don't forget all the days off, long lunches, and the entire interesting rabbit hole of Person of the Year award. MOO.

Read it quickly please. No more changing minds.

Huh. I always thought “no take backsies” was a firm rule in jury verdicts

I don’t think the form was handed in yet so they just changed their minds. Probably one hold out.

Those are VERY PERSONAL within themselves feelings, based on who knows what, to have and voice a personal opinion on anyone. Main thing is to AGREE that she is innocent. Otherwise, not her problem and who can say they would be able to withstand with her long standing health issues, that weaken a person, could keep up all these times with intelligence and involvement in her own trial, and have SUCH support. ADMIRABLE. imo

At least it sounds like we will not get a Season 3. Appeals? maybe?

One show I am glad will be cancelled after 2 seasons

 

[iusedtofloat]

My anxiety is palpable right now. My hands are sweaty and everything, fast heartbeat. Cannot even imagine how KR feels.

DO NOT DO THAT. KR and team do not want that.
