Anyone who watched this trial was left with a bad taste in their mouth for the MA "justice" system. MA taxpayers should be outraged and demand action from Governor Maura Healey.

I'm outraged this judge didn't recluse herself. Judge bev is horrible, how many times did she heavily sigh into the mic during this trial. Also bad bev needed to recluse herself because she's auntie bev to the alberts. Its so messed up and judge bev ruined this trial by the constant interruptions with the many side bars, threatening to turn off the ac and letting lally ramble nonsense. How many times did lally ask about the basketball game that night, really? Isnt this about officer okeefe. Bad bev and lally missed the assignment of what this trial should be about and in their minds its to clear their own names even though they're not on trial. This judge bad bev is a joke 😂😂😂

@@tracybarber8961Because she’s being railroaded? The “evidence” and testimony against her was like they were trying a black man in the south in 1920. She’s not from around here. Obviously she’s guilty. How do you think they treat poor people and people of color if this is how they treat someone driving a car worth over $100K and white? I won’t even visit the state of Massachusetts now unless every piece of trash that testified against her is put in federal prison. People say they’re corrupt where I’m from. There have been men who confessed to murder and sentenced to the DP who had their sentences overturned by SCOTUS for smaller mistakes than Trooper Proctor’s text messages where I’m from. Because we have a thing called class. Apparently, you don’t know what that is.
The BS in this case IS laughable if it wasn’t so tragic! She’s not guilty

That should have been the story! Or that the judge complains she’s tired? Think of the lack of sleep of all the parties involved?

This gentleman has years of training police K9 & all too familiar with recognizing dog bites. Worth a view this should convince any doubters that JO was attacked by K9 & humans not a car!!!
This case has given me another perfect example to show people, in a nutshell, what I always say about dating or marrying law enforcement. DON’T DO IT. Statistically they are already more likely to be violent abusers, alcoholics & control freaks. So what happens when they end up being a part of that statistic? Who do you call to save you?? Oh yeah… their freaking coworkers! And remember, law enforcement works closely with prosecutors, judges, local government etc. And I’m not saying all cops are abusers fyi, but I am saying that it’s the number one profession for abusers and the odds are not in your favor for your safety or justice if that happens. Same goes for custody battles and divorce. Just NOPE.

Years ago I was arrested and was so scared! I couldn't stop crying to the point of tears. The judge kept asking me what was so funny, and I tried to tell him when I'm nervous I can't stop laughing. He threatened to throw me Into a cell but I seriously couldn't .

This judge is funny she’s bias. She’s played sides for the prosecution since this trial started.
No one should be surprised that Boston cops, or any other department or LE agency, would bend the legal system to serve its own ends. Consider what is happening in the Trump cases. I find the behavior of all these reprobate drunkards dispicable, including the defendant.

Trump is being treated fairly. America was treated unfairly when Trump attempted a coup. MAGA is a nihilist cult of fascist, domestic terrorists.
The form is standard. It puts Not Guilty as the first option at the top of the form. Everyone calling the judge corrupt should look at the verdict slip. Option 1 is not guilty of all charges. if that option is not selected, individual guilty verdicts are to be itemized below.
I can’t imagine any context where it would be appropriate for her to LAUGH during the trial. Disgraceful! And who are the clowns who are doing the perimeter walk with her?
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. Sge has NO reason to laugh

I know right then she sicced a dog on him ... she's trying to frame the cops involved
The fact that this even went to trial is a joke
In my recent experience as a juror in a federal death penalty case both sides work together to finalize together that jury form. Thus there should not be any doubt in the jury form.
She's pretty confident particularly in light of the fact it could cost her life in prison!! I would be very very nervous even if innocent...
Oh, but you omitted the judge's and attorneys full comments and went straight to her admonishing Ms Read?!!! In the judges own words "That's how it's done in Massachusetts " Real nice sound bites!!! Sad!!
CLICKBAIT - This happened YESTERDAY on day TWO of deliberations.
I truly believe the FBI needs to look into this judge.
Why do news people always say “guys” when handing it back to female and male colleagues?
I don’t know if they got what they wanted in the end. Maybe I missed something but I thought they wanted not guilty to be displayed as a tick box just like the guilty vote. However I think they settled with wording being rewritten along with a clear explanation within the jury verdict forms. I might be wrong.
The judge is in on it
The deleting of footage, crime scene and evidence not properly being investigated, the google search, the reselling of the dog and remodelling the home, the video of the car and deleting evidence - I’m not saying she’s innocent, but she is not guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.
Ladies and gentlemen weve witnessed with our very own eyes corruption in this case every single one of us no matter what side your on has seen it. They need to do an investigation into every arrest these officerw ever made honestly if there so easy to lie infront of the whole world and ditch there cell phones who knows what else they have done and gotten away with.
This happened yesterday and how “is this funny Ms. Read?“ a reprimand?
Massachusetts needs to clean house starting with the Governor
Judge needs to be removed and investigated! Ffs, they are not above the law..
Still don't understand how it's taking so long. All they need to have heard was the Prosecution's own ME saying it's undetermined AND not consistent with being hit buy a car. The accident reconstruction for the prosecution was a nonsensical joke. The actual educated reconstructionists were very clear that it didn't make sense. There is just so much reasonable doubt I don't understand the delay.
This judge acts so disgracefully...

Reading some of these comments, I wonder , did some of you not watch the Trial? She is 💯 innocent! And as for the drunk driver , they were ALL drunk Driving ( & mostly Cops!) & John Okeefe God rest his soul, knowingly & willingly got into a Lexus SUV fully aware Karen was drunk. That itself is a risk . Period. But she was gone by 12:30, she connected to WiFi at JO house at 12:36 .. & JO cell phone recorded movement at 12:32 .. there is NO way she hit him! She Wasn’t there!! Though Jenn McCabe LIED and said she was at 12:45… dog gone, deleted text, destroyed phones, Dog Gone, Floor torn up , NO record of her EVER saying “I hit him” , NO Body , Ford Edge parked where JO body was found at 3:30 am ( JO at 6:00 or so) & so much more.. explain ALL that away then Maybe you can convince me she did it lol.. Good Luck! ( My heart and prayers to her and his family 🙏💗)
