Karen Read trial: Defense moves to dismiss 2 of 3 charges after mistrial

Two updates came Monday in the Karen Read case, as her attorneys filed a motion to dismiss charges of second-degree murder and leaving the scene of a deadly crash, and the Massachusetts State Police suspended Trooper Michael Proctor without pay.

[@ruthx3346]

@@wygantsh I am well aware of the claims on what the jury had agreed to. I am well aware that the verdict form was amended. I am well aware that the real 'problem' is that the jury was instructed not to fill in the verdict form until they'd reached a unanimous verdict; and that the jury was unsure if they could inform the judge that they had reached a decision in two of the three counts. Jurors never mentioned it in any note the foreman sent the judge. Instead, the jurors were counting on the judge to think to ask if they had decided on any of the counts. As it stands, any agreement the jurors might have had among themselves is still not recognized by the court -- it needs to have an evidentiary hearing on that. So, it's premature to declare as though a done deed that Ms. Read cannot be retried on charges that she was not, and has not been, formally acquitted of.

Properly, should the jurors have jumped into debating intent without first deciding if the Lexus, the vehicle driven by Ms. Read that night, was indeed the instrument of death?

Again, you “journalist”, evidently don’t read thoroughly, what you’re talking about, otherwise you’d be aware of these facts and not state things to the public as if the attorneys didn’t know enough to ask to see the verdict slip!

Why isn’t any body blaming the judge for this

[@duggab]

I also think the jury thought more about the messages to the judge then they did deliberating on the case

[@asha8000]

The jury foreman is the one that is primarily at fault here. The notes that he wrote to the judge at no time gave the impression that they had reached a verdict on any of the charges. Like Troopers Proctor and Bukanik, his focus was elsewhere.

You would think this was the first murder trial ever conducted in Massachusetts

[@juliepitkin2063]

Wrong, the verdict form did not have Not Guilty spots to check.

[@onegreatgeneration8656]

I went back and listened to Jackson's objection and the final ruling.

[@Seasheasells]

The letter did say charges. The judge should have asked a simple question Are you at an impasse on all 3 charges? Jurors also could have or should have specified. Its like they were caught up emotionally and were not able to think logically what their job was including definition of beyond a reasonable doubt.

[@sallycinnamon5370]

What is extremely annoying is that this was incredibly foreseeable. The defence pointed out that there no way to find no guilty on individual charges. The defence asked for each charge to have a guilty/not guilty. They likely should have argued at the hung stage to have direction on if all the charges were hung or just some. Because the jury only had the option for guilty on 1, 2, or 3. Or not guilty on all. There WAS no was to indicate not guilty on 1 but hung on either 2 or 3. I think this is likely irretrievable for the defence and no long timely. They agree to the verdict for change. They should never have compromised with the judge because then they could have appealed for sure. She didn’t allow for hanging on certain charges but deciding others.

[@onegreatgeneration8656]

It will be interesting to see how she rules for a hearing and argument.

Aunty Bev is no good

[@williamadams8775]

Judge is an Accomplice!......

[@margota]

They were hung on the drunk driving charge. The deeply held convictions was about drinking and driving. Did yall even read the letters both defense attorneys submitted?

[@lynmarie1786]

This trial has been an abomination!!! Is there an end to the amount of corruption with this case!!!!!?????? From the police to the judge - they all need investigated!! Unbelievable!!!

[@profd65]

Did the judge even look at the actual verdict slip before declaring a mistrial? It seems like she was handed a note from the jury that said they remained deadlocked, and after reading it she immediately delivered her little speech and ended the trial. But the note almost certainly (1) was not the verdict slip, and (2) didn't specify they were deadlocked on one charge, but were unanimous on the other two.

So he would recharge, but not on the fact that she did it. He would recharge for the family. But not on the fact that she did it

[@janetcole4463]

They all have immunity, but they could be replaced. Governor needs to act on this mess or is she just all mouth, no action. Her chance to show the people of MA., She cares about her state.

[@kabbystevens5167]

The second charge had various “charges”.

[@childoftheking2113]

Regarding the third count, perhaps they were coming up with not guilty for the leaving the scene because nobody could prove how much alcohol was in her system. Isn’t that the last part of that charge… Being under the influence?

[@Michael-el7uc]

This judge should be put on trial for her life and they need to give her a judge that was just like she was in court. The judge did this on purpose and everyone knows this to be true. How are you going to put her through this again after the trooper was punished. This is a joke

[@user-xq1cf3pe5b]

I think the jury (some of them) thought she accidentally hit him without realizing and then left not knowing he was hit. She didn’t leave him on purpose, therefore not guilty.

[@crystaldawn9255]

This judge was being manipulative and sneaky when she told them they needed to agree on everything she knew what she was doing

[@kjnest]

She did it!! Attorney tried to sell the jury a fairytale!! Glad they did not buy it!!

[@BOARDMAN16456]

WHAT IS CONFUSING ASWELL: I got a Not Guilty for Disqualified Driving, but I Got Found on Dangerous Driving..?? =18 month

[@paigemprice]

Worst jury instructions ever

[@Beretta96Dan]

Why does John O'Keefe's brother seem to have so much animosity toward him? He acts like he had no love for John!
