One of the 12 jurors cleaned up Karen Read Boston police boyfriend John O’Keefe died of murder, explaining the group’s reasoning Thursday, and the next day, her second trial ended.
The jurors also explained the brief chaos Wednesday afternoon, a result of jurors later reading a previously withdrawn sentence in court.
Judge Beverly added that. Within minutes, the juror issued a verdict for the real verdict.

“In our deliberations, we decided to have enough evidence and prove that she was driving under the influence,” he said.
Jury I found out that reading is not guiltyy murder, manslaughter and escape from a fatal accident, with more than 30 days of testimony and four days of deliberation in a trial. Fewer OUI charges are Massachusetts drunk driving term.
“I don’t know what happened to John,” Jason said. “I showed only a limited range of what happened that night, and I could only get opinions from the evidence shown in court. So, I really don’t know if there is a cover-up.

“I know it’s a big conspiracy around, but I really don’t know. What I know is that there are a lot of holes in the investigation. Whether they are intentional loopholes, for me, it’s hard for me to sit down and know – you know, you know, what actually happened.”
He said the defense claimed that O’Keeffe could have been killed by someone in the House of Representatives – in an attack involving a dog – was “an example of reasonable doubt.”
“Our mission is to discover…the evidence that the Commonwealth can emerge based on evidence determines the fate of this person and there are many loopholes,” he said.

Another important factor in the jury, he said, was the videotape, showing Red’s taillights.
“We can see from the car that when we see the red taillights illuminated after the alleged incident, it shouldn’t just be red,” he said. “I don’t believe the SUV collided with John O’Keefe.”
He added that despite this, jurors still have no idea whether the claims of the “corrupt” police investigation are true.
“I don’t know any corruption has happened,” he said. “But I know there is not enough evidence or evidence that the police have determined Karen is studying?”
Likewise, on Thursday, Massachusetts police brass broke the silence by shootings from the years of investigation into the wrongful case and the state police who played a central role in the case.

Reid was charged and acquitted – by ramming the SUV into him and killing his boyfriend in a snowstorm after a drunken argument. Jurors found her only drunk driving guilty, and for this, she was sentenced to one year of probation and outpatient treatment.
State Police Chief Colonel Jeffrey Noble said the entire department expressed condolences to O’Keeffe’s family.
“The events of the past three years have challenged our department to thoroughly review our actions and take concrete steps to conduct advanced investigation training to ensure proper oversight and improve accountability,” Noble said in a statement. “Under my guidance as a colonel, the state police have and will continue to improve in these areas.”
The goal is to provide “excellent” services and maintain public trust, he said.
