I wish people would realize that there is no justice for Officer John O’Keefe unless Karen Read is freed and the real killers can be held accountable for justice to be served…. RIP, John. You are loved and you matter. 💙

He wasn’t just found on any lawn. How could you not report that he was on Brian Albert’s lawn, a fellow officer? The house was never searched. If someone was found dead on your lawn, do you think they’d search your house?

[@hash_value]

Well when they Jenn McCabe called 911 she was prepared for it. She knew not to mention it was John a Boston cop but just some man. This would just send canton and not the surrounding cites as an officer is down. Brian Albert knew that and so did Higgins, must have told that to Jenn to make sure that only cops they knew showed up.

[@andrewpelletier8032]

It was proved in the first trial John was never hit by a vehicle 😢😢😢

[@holdmyhalo6752]

I will never understand why John’s family isn’t seeking the actual answers. There is an entire community out there that has been absorbed in this trial and watched it over and over again (which is more that we can say about Hank Brennan). John was not hit by a car. John was attacked by a dog that miraculously never even barked when responders showed up in the morning with a hysterical Karen Read on the front lawn. Jen McCabe undisputedly googled “hos long to die in cold” at 0227, and every “witness” perjured themselves under oath in the rare times that they could recall what happened. We all want justice for John O’Keefe. FREE KAREN READ!

[@amberdawnthemjohnsons9908]

No verdict was entered on the record, because Canone’s jury instructions stated, “do not bring this back to me until you have reached a verdict on all counts”. That’s exactly what the jurors did. Then, dismissed & declared a mistrial quicker than you could sneeze twice!

Absolutely! I hate it when people say that we aren’t putting OJO at the forefront! If an innocent woman is convicted, then how will that be justice?

[@batbseverino6015]

I think it is very strange that the cop that owned the house never came outside to see what happened to his so called friend. You have an ambulance and fire truck outside your home. Something is very wrong there.

[@playsaboutmycat]

Not to mention a German Shepherd who would be barking because of the commotion.

[@phoebebeach1194]

Also not to mention, none of the first responders or the sister in law of the homeowner was desperate to get inside to make sure there were no other casualties! What if John escaped a mad man who committed heater smelter in that house, no one checked?

[@playsaboutmycat]

@ Right? Wouldn’t they say - hey, you need to wake up and come out here because your buddy is in your yard dying! Nothing adds up.

[@keripait5033]

All that plus Karen screaming upset. That's something that really stuck out to me as well. Very shady that Brian Albert who is trained law enforcement officer & would definitely hear all this chaos going on, never came outside & neither did his wife!!

[@phoebebeach1194]

@ she was frantic! That was not an act!

[@phoebebeach1194]

I know they want justice. I just don’t think you get justice just by convicting someone who was the first and only suspect in a case with so much reasonable doubt. RIP John ❤

[@TeeC1306]

You guys have it all wrong

[@AngelPrissy]

Jury made a lot of sense given what they were allowed to understand and the information kept from them. They were hung on the charge about her being drunk. They did not seem to feel there was enough evidence that she did it on purpose nor that she knew he was injured and left him there. Having said that, even the blood testing at the hospital cant tell if she was inebriated and if a vehicle strike was even what caused his head injury, broken jaw, injuries about his eyes and scratch on his nose and the pattern injury marks on his arm through his hoodie, etc.

[@KCopeec]

People do realize there was a federal investigation that proved he was not hit by a car ? RIP JOHN…. FKR 💕

[@ThatRedhedd]

It's certainly not difficult to believe the Canton cops and Mass State Police were engaging in "funny business" - they aren't absolutely stupid to the point you'd believe this was sheer incompetence. They've done their jobs well in other cases. The extraordinary number of outright improper/foolish/unprofessional/suspicious choices they made in this case as compared to others rules out any possibility of those errors being accidental, and shows they were intentional. The numerous pieces of perfectly-timed missing video? Intentional. The inverted video misrepresenting which tail light Proctor was hiding behind before planting the tail light at the scene? Intentional. The failure to photograph the car before taking possession of it? Intentional. The failure to record any witness interviews permitting statements to evolve without being memorialized? Intentional. Shall I go on?

Over 4000 Google searches on Jen‘s phone only one deleted. Come on people. Free karen.Read

[@ThatRedhedd]

⛓️ Hank's Insurmountable Tail Light Truths: 🔹️ Initially, Canton PD carefully searched the crime scene (in daylight) & found no 🚫 tail light fragments. Had any been present, they would've been found along with the clear pieces of glass that were collected. CPD didn't secure the scene before leaving. 🔹️ 10 hrs later, in the dark, the SERT team found tail light fragments at the scene. The SERT search had been postponed for several hours until the MSP got Karen's SUV over to the Canton PD sallyport (3 mins from the scene). 🔹️ There was time for someone to break the tail light in the sallyport & bring the fragments to the unsecured crime scene prior to the start of the 2nd search. 🔹️ None of the tail light fragments have blood on them. Why? Because they didn't shatter against, or cause the lacerations to, John's arm (causing bleeding). The absence of even a spec of blood points to an inanimate object shattering the tail light - not a human limb.

[@JBfromFL]

If you look at the photos from the autopsy you can see clearly that his injuries were not from getting hit by a vehicle. He looks like he was in a fight with defensive wounds on the back of his hands and two black eyes. Also, he was throwing up and had some mysterious wounds or bite marks on his arm. Almost like a dog bit him. Common sense dictates that something else happened.

[@adp6694]

Then they should probably look at his brothers in blue. They would get more answers. This is not a case where police officers should be proteced. Not one member of the public is safe when they are patrolling.

How KR’s Story Has Changed | KR's Admittance She Reversed in FV Road: (1). At KR’s arraignment (02.02.22), DY, when making submissions to the Court and advising reporters as to what happened that night, said: “KR had no criminal intent” and that “She loved JO”. * Note: At the time, KR also admitted to doing a three-point turn (reversing) before driving away from FV Road (as per the arraignment). (2). Now the story is: “KR did not do this", "She was framed”, “She did not love JO", "They were just dating” and “She never considered marrying him”, and KR has also referred to JO as quote: “That body (followed by) wasn’t hit by my car”. (3). KR’s story about JO (allegedly) going into the Albert’s house has changed three (3) times (which can include an omission/s). (4). At the time she said she dropped JO off and did not see him enter the house (no mention of what follows). (5). Via the Dateline interview KR stated that JO allegedly went to the side door. (6). Via the 20/20 interview KR stated that JO allegedly went to the front door. (7). Yet KR also stated via an interview, quote: “What I thought could have happened was, did I incapacitate him unwittingly somehow, and then in his drunkenness he passed out”. (8). KR has also stated, quote: “We know who spearheaded this cover up”. (9). However, KR has repeatedly refused to reveal who (allegedly) spearheaded this (alleged) cover up. (10). TB, quote: “If I wanted to throw KR under the bus, I could have done that”! * Note: The FBI investigated KR’s allegations, and no charges have been laid against any person/s, and no government official has made an announcement of any corruption, in her case. The only charges are still solely against KR for almost three (3) years now.

@@Ji5-24 “The FBI has not publicly disclosed its stance on the Karen Read case, maintaining its standard policy of confidentiality regarding ongoing investigations. However, it has been confirmed through court proceedings that federal authorities, including the FBI, are involved in a broader investigation related to the case. This includes subpoenaing individuals present in the Albert home on the night of John O’Keefe’s death and conducting independent analyses, such as crash reconstructions, which reportedly found inconsistencies with the prosecution’s claims that O’Keefe was struck by a vehicle.”

You FORGOT. The FBI themselves hired the experts for the defense. The FBI themselves sent Morrissey’s office a letter saying they don’t agree with moving forward on this case. The FBI, who never shows their cards, after finding out Morrissey was proceeding, gave 3000 pages of information to the defense. Karen is INNOCENT.
