Jurors in Karen Read murder trial again tell judge they are deadlocked

Jurors in the Karen Read murder trial in Massachusetts told the judge again Monday morning that they are deadlocked.

Judge Beverly Cannone sent the jury back to continue deliberating.

Read is accused of killing her Boston police officer boyfriend, John O'Keefe, by backing over him with her SUV during a snowstorm in Canton.

Her defense has countered that she is the victim of a conspiracy.

It's a mistrial, and I, for one, DO NOT want to pay for another trial!!!

[misscabbyp]

If they can get witnesses,
if they can get the investigator,
if they can get the prosecutor...
why are we not suspicious about perhaps a double agent/sympathiser/ sleeper in the jury pool ?
If the defense is that a conspiracy of epic proportions is afoot then isn't it safe to also question whether or not someone in the juror box has an Uncle Leo or or boyfriend in blue?
Will be very interesting to find out what the numbers are for yea or nay guilty not guilty if they end deadlocked and get polled.

Free Karen, not enough to charge her with

Someone wasn't paying attention during testimony 🙄 FKR!

Hence 3rd time state mass 3 times is mistrial stand up judge do ya job the right way

[doreenhuston]

Turtle Boy is reporting the jury had come forward and said they were 12_0 not guilty of murder but judge would not accept the decision because they were dead locked on a lessor charge. Is that even possible.

[cathyricker]

Absolutely ridiculous! Judge should have recused herself, as she is affiliated with the family. Proctor should be fired as he was also a family friend. Free Karen Read!!!

[valerieg]

This judge is obviously bias in favor of the prosecution. She's a terrible judge. She doesn't seem to know the law well enough. This case has been a huge waste of tax payers money.

Judge can send them back 2 or 3 times .

Really feel for Karen she’s innocent💞🩷 one big cover up

Not sure why this trial keeps coming up in my feed? What happened? Who is this Karen Read, I’m to lazy to google.

[aanon]

she had a big snarky smile on her face after that mistrial. I just hope they find her guilty next trial which from all I heard in the transcripts she should be sentenced to a life.

Narcissistic Karen go directly to jail do not pass go

NG based on evidence, half the jury is divided, the generational locals? (Looking the other way), new locals) Not guilty based on evidence), hung jury.
