He was not hit by a car, so not guilty of all charges. This man was beaten brutally and bitten by a dog in that house.

[TroyJScott]

Why do another trial! The police are the criminals in this case.

Just let this poor woman get on with her life

[Amy-zstx]

And hotshot Paul O’Keefe THREATENING Karen Read should be a major headline!!! John’s family siding with that SHADY group & HORRIBLE COPS is what’s shocking!!! 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

[brandysnaps]

Doesn’t surprise me that the jury wouldn’t go for murder.
She was over charged and then a very poor investigation.

[kraven]

I’m still stunned that this even went to trial in the first place.
It’s embarrassing.

Great job Massachusetts police/judicial system 👏

Great job earning trust with the people on this one. The entire thing is a complete JOKE.
RED SOLO EVIDENCE CUPS! 🥤🥤

Will they EVER bother to ACTUALLY find out how John Okeefe died?? My heart breaks for his family.

[MikeF-opgs]

See where the state cop proctor can still get his pension, that's the real crime for the taxpayers of taxachusetts!! He will be sucking up 9000 a month for the rest of his life and will probably be on some beach somewhere in Florida!! Maybe he can get a part time job as a crossing guard !! He should be on trial for impersonating a criminal investigator!!

[blipco]

I guess those idiot jurors assume that when you back into someone with your car it puts dog bites on your arm. And then days later, broken taillight pieces show up. 😂

[ChangeIsEverywhere]

Everyone of those jurors are terrified of retaliation….

[eden_aumakua]

WERE THEY WATCHING THE SAME TRIAL I DID???? Karen Read is INNOCENT!

[jaybae]

I like the other way better...prosecutor lost, but now it's really personal.

[facesofmeth]

The entre Canton Town is corrupted, even the Jury

[Tina.Lucille]

If that’s the case, then in courts of law across the USA she would have been acquitted on the most serious charge, hung on the rest. WTF Massachusetts are you all in a different country???!!??

[littlegreen]

This seems like misinformation. They didn’t acquit her of second degree murder. They hung on all three charges.

[teldoll]

Oh my fucking god anybody with any brain cells understands Karen is Not guilty

[jamesdove]

If what you say is true, then why wasn't this on the verdict form? If the jury truly agreed that 2nd degree murder was off the table, that's an acquittal on that charge. It would be double jeopardy for Karen Read to be charged with that again. Aren't you an attorney?

[mayliz_t]

If this is true, they should have marked Not Guilty to the first charge and Deadlocked on the rest. The jury form must have been confusing. I would want to hear directly from jurors before accepting this as fact.

[barry]

And they're in lies the problem.The jury still doesn't believe that he was not hit by a car. They just don't think she did it intentionally. Which means they all discounted the forensic evidence. This jury should never be allowed to serve agiain .Also, they did not give her a Breathalyzer For twelve hours later, she could have been home and had two glass of wine. They shouldn't be able to charger with the DWI . If he wasn't hit by a car, you can't charge her with leaving the scene. This is an incompetent jury. Why is it that the definition of truth is different for lawyers than the rest of us. We all know the difference between morally right and wrong.

[JD]

If nothing else at all is in her favor, those puncture wounds (DOG BITES) and scratches on his arm didnt come from being backed into. It's just stupid. So lets just ognore every other piece of evidence all together and say that we're going to claim she did it...

There's no legitimate explanation for those damn wounds.

[redcharm]

I’m not sure why some of the jurors voted guilty? How did you they come to the conclusion she hit him with her suv beyond all doubt? Boggles my mind.

[margaretsmyth]

If she wasn’t guilty of first charge how can you say she was guilty of the othe 2
