She's way to happy that someone still died!!! I've always said this! She's never ever seemed sad that someone she "loved" lost his life

[Dynomite]

The prosecutor did a great job of proving her innocence. The defense team was amazing at every turn.

[Inkironnrum]

My thoughts and prayers are with The O Keefe family. May they find God’s peace through this whole ordeal.

[MariaMacariola-dyrr]

Why are you smiling and laughing after all when your love one is dead if you're not guilty 😮

[sKitty]

She doesn't come across well, almost like she is enjoying it. Weird.

[kierstenridgway]

She's got this!!
Her team was so good!!
And she was stoic throughout!

[madusonkeeper]

John, I (expletive) hate you!” she screamed. Phone records show she left the voicemail moments after her car recorded her driving in reverse at approximately 24 mph (39 kph) and then driving away, Lally said. (SHE HAS NO REASON TO LAUGH!)

[Panda-rn]

It must be so hard to not show emotion
If you cry Lally say guilt If you laugh a little insensitive but you held your compose even through John's pics and vids
God Bless You Karen and your Heaven sent Lawyers ❤❤❤❤

[ShameOn_U]

Regardless if you like her or disagree with her manner of behavior…Having multiple top notch pedigree testimony saying there is no possible way he died by getting hit by a car, who was not paid by the defense tells you all you need to know. It’s insane that this can happen and what’s more crazy is there ppl that refuse to acknowledge the evidence because she’s White or they don’t like her facial expressions. Let’s hope those same ppl never find themselves in a similar position.

[MariaMacariola-dyrr]

Strangely, even if you're innocent, this is a BIZZARE reaction of someone who's acting innocent I don't think so. Retrial indeed

[donnaparrish]

What an amazing team! I truly think this woman is innocent after listening, breaking down and listening again to all the testimony. I pray that when she is found innocent, John’s family will then understand that they have no reason to hate Karen Read. Instead, I hope they realize there are some very unanswered questions that must be answered. I think John would want that. Once again, this is an amazing defense team! Well done to them! Justice for John 🙏🏼.

She's NOT guilty. Congratulations, Karen.Your team did a great job

[MythsScamsLies]

This is the behaviour of someone who is not well. Someone who didn't commit the crime, would be solemn and concerned about whether or not the jury would get the verdict right. This is clearly not that person.

KR, quote: “I hit him”, “I hit him”, “I hit him” - “Dad I think I struck something” - “I remember backing up and hitting something” - “What I thought could have happened was that, did I incapacitate him unwittingly somehow, and then in his drunkenness he passed out”.

[TwistedTalesofTrueCrime]

This woman is innocent. Those wounds are not even close to former boyfriend being in a car accident. At first, I was skeptical but the story the prosecution is trying to sell doesn’t hold water. If she did do it then it will be a huge miscarriage of justice because the prosecution put on a poor case. The evidence just doesn’t support it right now. Too many shenanigans going on with the evidence.

[maryellenkirby]

Her total lack of compassion for the O'Keefe family's grief while she smiled and celebrated the mistrial shows the world the evil woman she really is. Karen, a mistrial is not a victory. God bless Officer John O'Keefe and his family. 💔

[SvnteenDiamonds]

"How do you feel?"
"HeHaHaHa"

[sheilarainey]

God she's irritating
Never seen one tear from the celebrity or given that poor guy a thought
ME ME ME

[kathycoker]

I 1st believed KR was innocent but there are a couple of things not adding up to more detail on following up from comments of more ppl from her side(she sends to have 0 friends, why did she call dad? He should have testified. She was extremely drunk. Shes guilty & I hope justice is served & she goes to prison
