I think it is crazy that if you are charged with 3 separate crimes and the jury says they are deadlocked, shouldn't a judge make sure they are deadlocked on all charges, This has never happened before?

[@origamikiddo2625]

Seems Massachusetts doesn't ask? Or maybe that's just what pros says. I'm sure similar things have happened, but I think the prosecution tends to dismiss those charges knowing a jury acquitted all but technically. But this pros and CW doesn't seem to do the right thing

[@Rowgue51]

Their strongest argument by far is that the judge gave them no opportunity to be heard at the time she declared the mistrial. She didn't tell the parties what she intended to do prior to bringing the jury back in. She had the jury brought back in, read their note into the record and then instantly told them their service was concluded and she was declaring a mistrial. Once those words leave her mouth the case is over. And it is standard operating procedure in cases where someone is charged with multiple separate counts that the judge goes through each count and asks them if they are unable to reach a verdict on each count. It's absolutely preposterous that you could get a vague note just saying we're deadlocked and declare a mistrial on all counts without even inquiring whether they were deadlocked on all counts.

Whose coverage are you watching?

[@NancyD2]

All the lawyers PRESUMED the jurors understood. They didn't. And I'm not sure the defense GETS THAT. Presuming what the jurors that came forward have said is true.... they came to a verdict on two, hung on one, and didn't understand they could "split the verdict" and were looking for more instruction from the judge. EVERYONE presumed the jurors knew all the nuances of rendering a verdict INCLUDING that they would not be further questioned. It sounds like they EXPECTED the judge to ask some variant of "have you come to agreement on any of the counts?" and she didn't and then bam it was over. The JUDGE should be in the position to hold the hand of the jury as to procedure. ASK the probing questions. The JUDGE is supposed to be the neutral party and be on the JURY'S side as to how to rendered a verdict and work through the process. I keep listening to attorneys talk about this and ALL of you keep going back to very tiny points of law. Ordinary citizens are not aware of such things. They just know they need to render a verdict....the subtleties and nuances of the law are absolutely not known to them. They do not know. It's an argument for a professional jury.

[@origamikiddo2625]

[@glo3139]

Riddle ME THIS???? When did it become a requirement, for a JURY to be so precise in their notes to the COURT/JUDGE, that they needed to LITERALLY and figuratively, go to law school, to CONVEY and EXPRESS, what they were conversing about whether individually or unanimously, in LEGALESE? A jury is normally a group of Laypeople who do not know NOR do they fully understand the precise legal verbiage to put in writing to convey what they are thinking. They were told not to take a poll at the beginning of deliberations, which would have most likely been extremely helpful, and also the natural thing to do, just to SIMPLY SEE where or how everyone was thinking and feeling from the get go!!!!!! They were not allowed to read transcripts or see anything else that was presented in court, unless it was in their notes, or were relegated to memory, and EVEN THOSE Notes couldn’t be shared with each other!!! The instructions were very very very confusing, and I personally was under the impression that if you found NOT GUILTY on COUNT 1, (meaning that a CAR wasn’t responsible for JO’s death, then the other charges didn’t even apply). I went over the instructions time and time again with various people, and still thought if there was no accident, there was no crime at all. Should’ve been a jury poll and it did feel like they were rushed out of the courtroom. That’s what it felt like to me. I’m assuming they felt the same way. I think they were waiting to be asked additional questions. It was extremely confusing after how many CW witnesses? 74 or something like that.?

And when Bev read the jury instructions, she told them they must find all not some and also told them to pay more attention to what she said rather than what was written. I just think the whole thing was very confusing and went super fast at the end. She did not allow the defense to see the note from the jury and brought them back in with no discussion upon which time I told them she was declaring a mistrial leaving no one room or time to say anything. Of course the defense could have interrupted but they didn't. I sort of felt like we all sat there thinking what just happened? Because we didn't know no one knew the split for the count or anything and I felt like Bev would find out when she went to speak with the jurors as she mentioned and would then tell the defense. We know she didn't. We don't even know if she spoke to the jurors though I assume she did. But they seem to have felt the same way and they didn't know how to resolve what needed doing. I wish at this point the remainder of the jurors would come forward so we would know they all are in agreement. And they may or may not before Monday I'm more interested in finding out what this new judge means. No one else seems to be covering it. Yes, Turtleboy already has a documentary contract & several said they've seen them lurking around the courthouse. Turtleboy was contacted for both a movie & a book. Lol... Grant later came forward & said he is also writing a book. I don't think he gets Turtleboy is getting paid for his!! I do think, tho, if this doesn't get resolved, we will hear from the jury. I think they'll come forward and raise hell if the CW retries Karen Read. And yes, KR did put her house on the mkt but doesn't want it known.

If she was guilty then the alberts would have been out on their front yard that morning trying to help John. Not buttdial, delete, destroy, rehome and move. If Karen Read was guilty there wouldn't have been inverted videos, there would have been taillight pieces in the couple of inches of snow at 6am instead of none. Jen wouldn't have told Dispatch that they flipped John over onto his back and that she saw him get out of the vehicle and that he had been in the elements for a couple of hours when he was found. If she was guilty the plow driver would have seen him. The snow wasn't deep. Matt MaCabe would have seen him when they left but no one saw him that left the Alberts. Snow wasn't deep it was only a couple of inches by morning. This is all proven facts which comes from the one's who had a hand it. When John arrived at the hospital he was being treated as an assault case, as in beat up. Anyone that thinks she's guilty then tell me why the Alberts and MaCabes are so shady. They would have been transparent on everything but 1 lie lead to another and another. This shitshow of a trial and incompetent judge a cw should dropped the charges and retire permanently. That town and half the people in it are as crooked as a snake.

@debidriscoll8108 still investigating but the fbi has said even in pre trial motions in letters sent that Karen should not be prosecuted. They are the ones that gave the defense proctors texts, the crash reconstruction experts, thousands of pages of discovery etc bc they firmly believe Karen is innocent and the case shouldn’t have been brought to trial.

[@Bunny-ur8fd]

@@debidriscoll8108 the 2 witnesses that the defense had at the end were the guys the FBI/DOJ hired for their federal investigation that said unequivocally John was not hit by a car and it was impossible to think so when looking at the facts, science and physics, biomechanical engineering and some other big brain words I can’t remember. Those guys were HIRED or paid by the defense. They were hired for the FBI investigation into the trooper’s and state’s atty investigation. They were impartial and had nothing to do the either party. Sent reports to both State and Defense. State chose not to even bring it up. Defense chose to bring it up. Same with some of the phone data…. Came from the feds. CW should be just fired and smacked around for being corrupt and or just plain having the intelligence of a box of tampons.

It is simple: When double jeopardy is forbidden, there must be a clearly defined process of finding out of a jury had come to a verdict on some, but not all of the charges. The protection against double jeopardy has a higher priority than the possible interests of a court to „get a trial over with quickly“, and do sloppy work in the process. And these questions should NEVER be left at the discretion of any single judge to rule on.

[@morrigonghoulsli4873]

With how thoughtfully worded both of the notes from the jury were I'm a little surprised that they didn't mention that they were only hung on one charge. I know if I was on the jury I'd want that stated in the note.

[@valhallaw]

One of Bev’s instructions was for jurors to tell NO ONE what any of the votes were, not even her. The jury could have reasonably thought that meant not saying anything in the note to the court.

[@BruceBradley-rl1rt]

Hi Peter. The very last jury instruction directed the jury not to fill out any of the verdict forms until they had decided unanimously on all counts. Thus, if they had voted and conclusively decided on counts 1 & 3 yet were deadlocked on count 2, they were not yet supposed to have filled out any of the verdict forms. They entered the courtroom to inform Bev they were still deadlocked, which to them seems to have meant they weren't decided on every count. Bev declared a mistrial and released them without the jury ever having had a chance to say "wait a minute! What happens to our verdicts on 1& 3 which are already done and final?!" Further inquiry must be undertaken of the jurors.

[@lyndafarley9167]

Did the Jury have the instructions with them? Did the Jurist not fill out any of the forms? I would blame the Jury Foreman for allowing 2 counts to not go away and turning that note in. The Foreman should have said on Counts 1 & 3 We, the Jury find Karen Read, not guilty, & on count 2, we are hung.

I still cannot get past the fact that they didn’t put it in their notes to the judge or even ask for clarification. They had numerous opportunities to do it. All of their notes made it sound like they couldn’t agree on any of it. Their note also stated that it was not due to their understanding. That clearly states they understood.

Today would have been my 52nd wedding anniversary❣️ we were soul mates for 46 years, and because he had killed his knees while playing college b-ball ~ he was 6’5”!~ he needed his left knee replaced. He made it through surgery with no problem. A month home, he suddenly went down on Super Bowl Sunday with our 6-year-old grandson at Walmart. He had developed a blood clot, and by the time they figured it out, they couldn’t get to it, and he died. So here I sit on my anniversary, missing him so much and dreaming about seeing him again (we both believe in Jesus)! Love each other mightily and never go to bed angry! We had a great marriage, and I long to have him back! Hugs 🙃b

The defense did have a problem with the jury instructions, they had a heated discussion with the judge over them and the judge had to leave the courtroom to cool down. When she returned, she said that the original instructions will remain but she will add supplement sheets. It is my belief that because there were multiple sheets where the jury had to check boxes for the same thing may have confused the jury so they chose not to check any box.
