VERDICT: MA v Karen Read | Killer Or Cover-Up Murder Trial 

#CourtTV - Is this justice?

Right decision. Jury shouldn't be forced.

Is it just me, or was Judge Beverage kinda choked up? I believe the jury is right in their decision not to be bullied into a verdict.

A hung jury isn’t a verdict

Will the crooked cops be investigated????

The prosecution did not begin to prove their case. This case had Reasonable Doubt all over it.

Scary that cops can still cover up crimes in 2024

There was zero evidence she did it.

Not Guilty..but Mistrial is better than a Miscarriage of justice...

I can only imagine the animosity in the jury room. To spend all that time and not come to a verdict

Having watched this trial to me they didn't prove she did it definitely a case of reasonable dought

Bottom line ? The Jury was sitting on a double edged sword . Afraid to go either way . Guilty is obviously a total injustice. Not Guilty points to Cover up . Let’s just pass the Buck and see if another jury can do better .

"Surpasses the burden of proof." ?!?! HOW?!

Time for Feds to step it up so Karen dosen't have to go through this insanity again

Ridiculous. Let her go. Investigate the crooked cops.

Not guilty. Hope the Feds step in soon.

His poor mother..God bless and keep her

I would rather have a hung jury than a verdict of guilty; that would have been UNJUST. The prosecution has a mountain to climb if they try her again. They proved NOTHING and this jury couldn't agree on that the first GO. Stay strong Karen and I hope your attorneys don't bail on you now

This judge shouldn’t be teaching anyone

"We find ourselves deeply divided." Those of us who comprehend science, those of us who paid attention to discrepancies and outright proven lies in prosecution witness testimony,...and those who did not. Thus.

SWITCH JUDGES!!!!!!

I feel heart broken for his family but after the trial and all the information im surprised that his family dont question if she is innocent or not, prayers for strength and peace for them!

Im watching this from the uk and im shocked it even got to trial. There is no proof she did this and feels they are just making the evidence fit their narrative.

Principles and beliefs are not allowed in court! It’s the evidence you judge by!!

This is gonna be a hung jury as I thought it would. Unfortunately, the police department in this case is extremely corrupt. I can't say she is innocent but you can't convict her as is.

Sorry for the victim John because the State did not prove their case. Mistrial means??????

John's poor mother 😢what a fkn fiasco

Glad to see these jurors aren’t fooled by these people! Now time to do some real investigating and find out what really happened!

That poor family.

Not surprising! Divided just like all of us...

There are not enough edibles in the world to be in KR's seat right now.

Unbelievable there was reasonable doubt for not being guilty. These cops need to be investigated. I sense cover up

Get your solo cups out and have a good 4th.

I had a feeling it would be mistrial. I feel for the O’Keefe family. The O’Keefe family I hope they take care of themselves not get sick over all this. I hope the same for Karen and family as Karen is not well. I believe the truth is out there if they investigate fully. Give it to FBI. RIP Officer John O’Keefe.

Lets hope the FBI will step in and show their findings and arrest everyone in that house, the relatives who lied, the cops who lied, the Prosecutor for his part, etc...

*This is gonna be like the YSL case. Getting retried over and over again*

Well someone got away with it. No justice for John

My thoughts and prayers go out to Johns loved ones 🙏🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️❤️ I know what it’s like, I’ve been there. Please stay strong.

How anyone could vote to convict is disgusting. Reasonable does not even begin to explain the degree of doubt this evidence shows.

My heart goes out to John O'Keefe's mother and father. They are the true victims.

Such corrupt b.s. no chance those injuries came from the tail light. Impossible

Yes jury shouldn't be made to be hostage.

No justice for john...another oj simpson case

I’m curious if it was just one or two jurors who held out for a guilty verdict. If so, something’s fishy. There’s more than reasonable doubt based on the evidence presented and, based on comments I’ve read by other people who have watched the trial, they also have significant doubt.

This is a mistrial of justice , just say not guilty the state acted like criminals

Number 2 was way to confusing, and 26 miles an hour on ice. That's tires spinning making it seem she went that fast.

My heart breaks for his family, especially his mom. They deserve justice or just closure if that's possible. Just my opinion but so many people have forgotten about the REAL VICTIM and that HE IS GONE! RIP JOHN🤍❤️

Love and prayers to Johns family 🙏🙏💙

Not guilty! They shouldn’t retry this case until it’s the real suspects

John O’Keefes Arm was clearly attacked by a dog.

They need to investigate all those cops up there

I just hope people don’t criticize or threaten the jury members.

I can’t believe the CW IS GOING TO WASTE ANOTHER TRIAL.

Which of the jurors did they get to? Some of you locals gotta know.

My nerves can't take it!

😅😅😅State Trooper will be FIRED BEFORE THE NEXT TRIAL

Soooo, now who did it? It's not her. Imo, the LEO's are in on it, its obvious. Question is, who is going to move in on that?? You can't leave it in the air.

I had a feeling the verdict was gonna be either not guilty or a mistrial. As the jury wrote on the paper, a lot of the evidence, along with state testimonies, made no sense with the story the investigators came up with.

My heart breaks for Mrs O Keefe. Can you imagine sitting there crying your heart out inside and weeping for your son, whilst these people are standing a few feet away from you…acting jubilant and laughing, hugging each other, thumbs up ( Karen’s father) in some phoney display of victory? They didn’t win anything. Nobody won! My god! Don’t these people have any compassion or dignity? Playing it up for the court cameras. These are not decent people. I’ve held no opinion of guilt or otherwise whilst watching this trial, but behaving like this in front on this old lady is just beyond cruel. Absolutely no excuse for it. I believe in fait, karma and natural justice, and if there’s a heaven above, this woman should be punished. Before the new trial begins, with an old guy, no nonsense judge and a fierce prosecutor, Karen Read would be advised to take a lesser plea, which is what she should have done before her ego and celebrity status got the better of her.

WOW!!!! Mistrial!!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Sad day. Poor John O'Keefe gets no justice.

BEV IS ON VACATION MODE NOW

Remove the judge

Dog bites > taillight

Dirty cops tried everything to frame her, and auntie Bev allowed all this irrelevant testimony. Disgusting.

Not guilty!! FBI has a lot to investigate!!

She’s soooo guilty

She can be retried again and the state already stated they would retry her. Next year some time is my best guess.

Interviews with the two ladies in blue, not related , not friends just people who have done there own investigation and have acted on hear say! I strong do no believe you should be interviewing thosre individual.

Prosecution didn't prove squat. How can the family not see the truth? How did they not see the dog bites and all the injuries. How does anyone not see this?

Weak people! Thank you for your non service

Bev should never have been the judge on this case. He brother was the defense lawyer of the Alberts the 1st time he killed someone.

Paul O'Keefe said something to Karen when he walked out and she looked disgusted lol

"Individual principals and moral convictions." this is precisely why they couldn't come to a unanimous decision. The rule of law is that juries must decide based on the evidence, not personal beliefs or convictions. They took an oath to evaluate the evidence objectively, and to not allow personal principals or moral judgement to guide their decision making process. Clearly some of them didn't take their oath seriously. The principal is "It's better to let 10 guilty people go free than to wrongly convict one innocent person." so Juries are instructed to err on the side of caution, so that if there is any doubt about guilt, they should acquit, rather than risk convicting an innocent person. How can anyone possibly vote to convict in this case if they are following the rule of law and instructions given? The note say's it all.

That’s a wrap, statistically a retrial will end in an acquittal.

Complete rubbish! Should have been not guilty

Not surprised. This is the weirdest case. I on on the fence as well.

This trial was painful enough to watch it’s too bad they couldn’t come to an unanimous verdict & a retrial…. Ugh🤦‍♀️

Now the police are going to be forced to go and find the real culprits their fellow cops

I felt from the start there wasn't enough evidence to convict. The police didn't do themselves any favors by texting vicious gossip about the defendant. It made me believe that they did stich her up. It wouldn't be the first time they have done that and send innocent people to prison, and even to execution. I don't trust them at all.

Something about her rubs me wrong!!!

Higgins is in some kind of rehab hiding out …that’s where the answers are

Wow, did Thomas Jefferson write that note? Well, whoever wrote it certainly has a way with words. Impressive

In case of a retrial, would the same judge and ADA and witnesses be involved? Btw, so happy for Karen. Not exactly what we all wanted but not so bad either. Leave her alone and prosecute the real killers, damn it.

Vote out this irresponsible DA in 2026!

I think he was just wasted and my couldn’t stay on his feet/was stumbling around. No murder at all

Everyone has vacation, there is no date

John's mom isn't gonna make it I fear thru another trial

As unlikeable as Karen Read is, I think the jury got it right... Unfortunate for the O'Keefe family...

Poor O’Keefe family…I feel so sorry for them…KR still has that smirk…no humility

What? How many crooked cops were there on the jury?

I wonder if the jurors who were bent on declaring her guilty were doing so out of fear of retribution from corrupt cops/system if they voted not guilty as well as having to face the wrath of the cancel culture from people who believe Karen is guilty.

It’s pretty clear the POLICE ARRESTED THE WRONG SUSPECT!! Edit: None of the people who say “guilty” ever have an actual reason for it.

There was too much doubt all over this case they will have a hard time doing in the case over because the bad evidence in already even if they bring lesser charges sad but you cannot forced the Jury to do what they are doubting

So they have to go thru this hell again?? WOW

How on earth could not ALL 12 Of these Jurors not understand the CW simply has NOT even close to met its burden. 🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️

SOMEONE GOT TO ONE OF THE JURORS!!!! CANT BELIEVE IT!!!! THOSE POOR PARENTS HAS TO BE DRUGGED THROUGH THIS AGAIN!!!!

I said it from the beginning.. mistrial

She shouldn't get so excited. Betty Broderick had a mistral the first time, too. The State Of Massachusetts is not going to let this go. They are going to retry her, and when they do, she will be found guilty .

I hope FBI continues investigation but I am not confident
