Karen Read Murder Trial: Defense attorney Alan Jackson's closing arguments

[@Sunshinyrunner-nr5jh]

Alan Jackson is the best of the best! Very effective, brilliant, knowledgeable attorney! Articulate, well spoken, confident, and amazingly gifted! Love this guy’s intelligence!

[@mortalclown3812]

Facts. Extraordinary lawyer. We should all find our gifts like this guy has. (You know young prosecutors must gulp when they see him across the aisle.)

There are a few people that need to go to prison. And Karen isn't one on them.

[@thomasogrodnik3233]

DUI vehicular homicide conviction doesn't warrant prison. John got ambushed alright by a slew of toxic texts from a nut job alcoholic. Is it because she's a woman means she can get away with this? I suspect MeToo is conspiring to this...

oh my word how could the state bring this to trial? I have to admit I thought Karen was guilty early shame on me not waiting till all the evidence is givin

[@mortalclown3812]

I naively figured the commonwealth wouldn't move ahead unless they had proof. This case should shake everyone in their jurisdiction and beyond. It's not a pretty cast of characters. Bet they're all dreading the 'movie of the week'.

Unfortunately, thanks to locally corrupt law enforcement agencies in Canton and one of the sloppiest investigations imaginable, they may never find how Officer O'Keefe was killed. But they do not have enough evidence to convict her of the commonwealth's charges.

Without Alan Jackson any one of us could end up in jail being completely innocent. Scary cause I can’t afford Alan Jackson.

[@nitrokng]

Both KR & JO and their entire crew are heavy drinkers. None of these people, including several of the LEO’s, have shown much emotional maturity. Evidence has been disposed of. Evidence has not been collected (inside 34 Fairview). This group of people have circled the wagons & left KR to wear the entire thing. NONE of the people are like able at all. Text messages have been cherry-picked and shown without context. Vehicle evidence is weak. Autopsy is inconclusive. They clearly didn’t break up during the day since they went out that night. The ADA got a crappy case full of holes & he has no choice but to prosecute it. It’s his job & the higher-ups want this horrible episode closed. The defense attorney’s primary job is to test every piece of the prosecution’s case and expose its weaknesses. He illuminated enough reasonable doubt to drive a truck through.

[@jenniferlynne7323]

The prosecutor had a choice.

[@eileencalabro7909]

However, the prosecution's job is to find Justice and they did not look for Justice for this officer.They were too busy defending Jennifer McCabe.And the albert's, and that is so sad

[@3mt696]

[@SydneyBooksMusic]

A Jackson has a cadence in his speech that is engaging and empowering. Sure, I believe that Karen is absolutely NG but this closing has all The markers of a fantastic and engaging speech. Captivating us for an hour is not easy. There’s a blue line McAlbert on that jury. Maybe not a true McAlbert, but someone who can’t get over the thought of internal corruption. I get it. That’s a tough one to get past but the evidence speaks for itself.

[@rso143]

Amaysing closing argument, she is framed but fighting against a corrupted system is just impossible.

[@Dazistgud]

Timeline J McCabe Karen Read case. She saw Ryan Nagle and KR car around 12:27 JM testifies that the jeep was between Nagle’s car and KR’s SUV. Inconsistency: Nagel testified that he was directly behind KR’s SUV and he did not see any damage to the taillight. So no hit and run before 12:27am. JM texted 12.27(“here”), 12.31, (“pull up behind me” after seeing the SUV) 12:40 (SUV had moved 1 time), 12:42 (SUV moved 2nd time), 12:45 (SUV was gone after this text). Inconsistency: KR would have left at 12:30 to be able to drive back and connect to JO’s WiFi at 12:36. How could JM see KR’s SUV at 12:31, 12:40, 12:42 and 12:45 if KR’s SUV was not there? JM also testified she had a “clear and good view of the SUV” and she saw nothing on the lawn. When it came to what she saw on the lawn, it became contentious between JM and AJ. I have so far been stuck with what if she hit him with her SUV because of the taillights found. I don't want to believe in the conspiracy/ cover up. However, this timeline and JM’s insistence on seeing the SUV between 12:27 and 12:45 because she was texting JO tells me they were buying their alibi. JO was in that house, and the texting was a cover. So it wasn't KR calling JO to cover up the hit and run, it was actually JM texting JO between those times to cover up for themselves. They placed KR’s SUV there till 12:45 and this is why Lally said in the opening that the hit and run happened at 12:45…almost 10 mins after Karen got to JO’s home and connected to the wifi.

[@ThereseBrock]

Excellent closing .

[@karliann1]

I'm rewatching this zoomed in on Brian Albert why TF is he looking at the jury so much?

[@monicatrombly8881]

Intimidating them 😔 😟

[@TheDeweyboston]

The fact that there are two hold outs demonstrates the inability of two jurors to decide based on what they saw in trial. The commonwealth failed to prove their case beyond a reasonable doubt. Ten jurors agree, obviously. If they were watching what we all watched, it’s the obvious position to take. How two people can hold on to their emotions, which is the only logical explanation, shows the problem with our jury system.

[@GreenOrgyKing]

...well yes but then there's also jury bribery and jury intimidation, be it explicit or implicit. I grew up in massachusetts. Everyone here knows how differently even the most MINOR crime imaginable (driving without a license) is handled by State Police vs ANY local PD. And since THEY ALONE investigate all murders I'm not sure I would feel very safe casting a NOT GUILTY vote, depending on where exactly I lived, where I worked, who I knew, etc

[@karliann1]

We don't know the ratio it's speculation. Idk why it's not an easy acquittal, it has to be jury tampering

[@TheDeweyboston]

@@karliann1Yes, we do. 🙈🙉🙊

[@AustinD1993]

Hopefully the People in Johns Community aren't as easily fooled as the rest of the Public. Karen was drunk aF and backed into John. The gash on his head was caused from his head whiplashing back into the back of her SUV (up by the back windshield & edges of the suv above her tail lights) when she speed backwards into him. His tongue had a gash from him biting his tongue on the impact when he flew into the ground. When You are traveling at a quick rate of speed and your skin slams against rocks and chunks of gravel , it digs into your skin, and because your body is moving it drags the rocks against your skin causing deep scratches that bleed. If you havent had bad road rash you wouldnt understand. The same thing happens if you crash a bike 🚲 and hit rocks. Karen was wasted and panicked becuse she just killed a Police Officer with her vehicle. Even if it was an accident she was drunk and would be found guilty, no one would listen to her bc he was a cop- so she ran. She went home and then came back later & knew EXACTLY where johns body was (even though it was completely covered with snow and she had to dig him out) she knew where he was because she saw him when she hit him and decided to leave him there. Use your brains people.. Her defense attorney is being payed to DEFEND HER & CREATE REASONABLE DOUBT! Thats his job & the public is eating it up with a spoon lol 😂 Thats why shes smiling, she knows shes fooling everyone and thinks shes going to get away with it. I pray for Johns neice&nephew that he was raising for his sibling who passed away- that Karen will be found GUILTY. Shes not a hero! John WAS! #JUSTICEFORJOHN #JAILFORKAREN
