It was really cool to get a DM from a well respected former judge who wants the public to understand the role of a judge in a way that can get lost in some of these trialsโฆ including Karen Read x2
A jury found Karen Read not guilty of second-degree murder in the death of her then Boston cop boyfriend, John OโKeefe. But received a guilty verdict for operating under the influence of alcohol. The jury deliberated for about 20 hours.
to the surprise of absolutely nobody, the jury appears confused on count 2 and the lesser includeds, most notably the OUI. It does appear the jury is entirely focused on the OUI based on all 3 questions, which seems to be a very bad sign for the prosecution. However, the inclusion of the OUI does seem to be making at least one juror consider that off-ramp rather than a full-blown acquittal. All in all, didn't sound great for a conviction on any of the homicide-related charges.
