You think it was crazy before, just try and ignore these jurors and do nothing about it! Especially with what you are doing with the Sandra Birchmore case. O boy!!
Just when you thought it was over... this defense team is incredibly tenacious! I'm a pretty smart cookie but listening to Bev's instructions to the jury regarding the verdict forms made my head spin. That form was confusing ON PURPOSE. Even the minor correction made in light of the defense's objections did not fix that. Bev wanted KR convicted of SOMETHING, that was clear. I can't even use the word "judge" in conjunction with Bev's name, doesn't seem right. It stinks to high heaven that she hand picked the foreperson, who then sent a very important note to the judge without running it past the rest of the jury. Not a good look. We need to change KR's name to Patsy because that's what she is to all the cops, the judge and even JO's family. At this point it's irrelevant whether she actually committed the crimes she's charged with... the evidence presented in no way even proves JO was struck by a vehicle, and the lead prosecutor grossly misconducted the whole investigation.

The judge was informed on the confusing tally form and requested to make clear. This is totally on the judge. And in fact that there is proof of not guilty is an attack on all our constitutional rights. We all want justice but we can take an innocent person to make things right.

BINGO!!!!! Your comment should have THOUSANDS of likes. The Verdict Form had only a Guilty Box for the 2 Lesser Charges, and a Guilty and Not Guilty on the Murder 2 Charge. For all three charges, there should have been 3 boxes: Box 1 --- Not Guilty Box 2 --- Guilty Box 3 --- We Cannot Reach a Unanimous Decision On This Charge
She was so biased during the trial. How did she not say there was a unanimous verdict on two counts. It’s crazy

I was surprised when she told the jury "I won't do that to you, I will declare Hung Jury". I had thought she was going to send them back again to deliberate. May be she thought that they would come back with 'not guilty' on all or they might fill the form and declare 'not guilty' for 2 counts . She has taken an oath to be impartial and not favor either side.

Judicial misconduct.
Did the judge even look at the actual verdict slip before she declared a mistrial? It looked like she only read a personal note that was handed to her that said the jury remained deadlocked and then she immediately declared a mistrial, but this note may not have spelled out that they were deadlocked on one charge and unanimous on the other two.
Judicial misconduct
This is one juror providing this information. When the judge read the jury foreman's letter it clearly states that they were divided on "charges" (plural) more than once.

There were three charges against her. At the end of the trial, why didn’t the judge ask the foreman to give the jury’s verdict on each charge like it’s done in other trials. The verdict is read out on each charge. She didn’t even do this. She declared a mistrial without knowing (or maybe she did know) what the jury’s verdict was for each charge. The three jurors probably saw that. I can understand why they would approach defence and tell them the true verdict. They probably saw the manipulation of the court.

May be hand picking the Foreman was for this purpose and not to be clear on the Form. The wordings weren't like usual jury's note to the judges. He/she used sophisticated words to write note to the judge and didn't know to fill out the form properly. Seems it was intentionally omitted , or may be was instructed to do so.
Justice for OJO and FREE Karen Read! The corruption and bias is ridiculous!
the prosecution used so many dirty tactics that anything other than an innocent verdict would be a travesty of justice. Unrelated experts, not employed by the defence or by the prosecution testified that it was impossible the victim was struck by ANY vehicle. The prosecution at one point used an inverted video to misrepresent a testimony to the jury. It was disgusting. I've never seen a trial like this. Sadly the truth will probably never be known in this case, but I don't believe she hit him with her car, simply because of the testimony of the Accident reconstruction experts, in conjunction with the medical experts. One of the medical experts was the states own witness. All of their testimony aligned and none of them saw any injuries or damage to the car consistent with a motor vehicle vs pedestrian accident. End of story. If you cant get past this basic requirement of it even being possible he was hit by a car, then the rest is impossible. I cant believe the jury even hung on this. Additionally the Alberts sitting in the courtroom staring down the jury on the last day...that was just plain weird.

Not sure the McAlberts have gotten away with it yet, however, given the “investigation” you may be right, they may just get away with it but unlikely they’ll get away from other charges I suspect. Who knows, will be interesting to see what the feds come out with. They already gave both sides exculpatory evidence and prosecution didn’t seem keen to use that but it worked out well for the defense to have two highly qualified experts testify beyond reasonable doubt that a car did not hit John and a car did not cause those injuries!! I doubt they will even try and retry, got no lead investigator anymore.

Massachusetts especially canton is a joke
The guest is scared of 'somebody' to say as he sees it. "I am not going to say she made a mistake" .He indirectly says "the Judge might want to do it differently going forward". That means, the guest is saying, she didn't do it the proper way. When a person's life is involved no room for mistake and taking another attempt to doing it right? What a Non-sense.
It’s very clear that she’s innocent. This is ridiculous.
Have to try but it's not going to happen.
The judge was sooo not neutral
This is the judges fault. Its her responsibility to ensure this very big oversight did not happen. There was a verdict in this case. Judge declaring a mistrial was false information and not relaying the verdict to the court. She claimed to be very familiar with and had many times before seen these ‘lesser incudeds’?) So did she do this on purpose?
