A judge declared a mistrial Monday for Karen Read after the jury could not reach a unanimous verdict. Read was charged with second-degree murder, manslaughter while operating under the influence and fleeing the scene where there has been personal injury and death. Read is accused of killing her Boston police officer boyfriend, John O'Keefe.

    My feelings are if the try this again and either got not guilty or hung jury the state should be sued for legal costs and suffering.
  • @jimsachtjen119
    So they can't prove she ran him down and can't prove someone else beat him to death. Why are we having a trial then. Either come up with some proof one way or the other or quit wasting the courts time. No idea how they got an indictment in the first place.

    Personally the last person I want to hear from with regards to this case is Gayle King

    The Massachusetts corrupt court system... oh brother😅
  • @hectornegron9155
    Framed, falsely accused by those who are supposed to protect citizens. INNOCENT.
  • @commonsense6611
    Retrying the case is a waste of time. The same information and the same bias from those who did the investigation will be presented. The only difference this time is that prosecutors who looked the other way, now have to agree that Trooper Proctor was flawed and deficient in providing a fair and honest investigation. This to me falls in the category of reasonable doubt. When you doubt the system that represents justice, then justice itself, and not the defendant, is on trial. REF: Mark Fuhrman in the OJ Simpson Case. JUST SAYING...

  • @paulaheckman9928

    Alcohol creates problems. Normally, when one officer gets a divorce or dies, there’s always another one right there trying to get with her, if they haven’t already. This is a tough one, but with the lead investigator info, it seems she may not be in the wrong.

    Rumor has it ten to two in favor of guilty all 3 counts. They didn't fail by much it seems.
