When I began watching this trial, I scoffed at most of those conspiracy theories; I didn't buy them at all. During the trial, I became more and more convinced that there wasn't enough evidence, and the little evidence there was had been handled in a totally unprofessional manner (from the perspective of a 6-year-old with a detective comic gimmick) or was criminally negligent and interpreted in a way that didn't align with science and physics at all. It was a total mess, and I thought it would lead to a quick not guilty verdict. However, after seeing all of the aftermath, especially the statements by the officials, I'm now convinced that they will continue to do what they're doing. They will take this mess of a case and retry it. The best thing the defense can hope for is a mistrial. They will never get a not guilty verdict in this deeply corrupted county. It's absolutely appalling, and while it's obvious that they are trying to cover things up, I now doubt that the only thing they are covering up is their botched investigation. There is more going on here, and there will be no accountability whatsoever. Multiple cops admitted to having committed DUIs on the stand-nothing has happened. They haven't been charged, haven't been held accountable. This county seems to have a huge problem, and unless a lot of people in power step up, things won't change. I really feel for Karen Read. She is innocent in this and gets thrown under the bus continually. What's going on in this county is an abomination.

[@yankeecitygirl]

Yes but recall that the corruptocrats are being investigated by the feds who have already subpoenaed key players. The feds also provided the Read defense with the Proctor text messages and the ARCA team. The prosecution had access to the same resources but conveniently ignored it. All they wanted was a guilty verdict and thought that was a gimme with the way Bev rigged the jury. I don’t know if this case will be re-tried, I think it’s more likely Morrissey eats a bullet before that happens.

What about Brian Albert?????

[@rock0228maggie]

I believed he retired, sold his house, rehome his dog and his cellphone when the public started to be aware of the frivolous case against an innocent citizen (Karen Read).

[@Neraa777]

Yes !!!!!!!

proctor should have thought of his family before he did what he did , no more house in canton man , you're a mess and a bad cop

Police Unions know no bootlicking bounds. Standing behind proctor after seeing those texts should be criminal.

This is the thin blue line gang! Paid leave simply means time to apply at neighboring police departments!

Oh noes, his children will lose benefits. It's not like other people lose their job everyday and their children lose benefits. Maybe he should have thought of his children. Does Yuri have kids?

Trooper Proctor’s BIG MOUTH is the real disappointment. He deserves everything he gets.

In no way belittling the outrageous content of the text messages, we still have to ask why they are highlighted in the news more than the fact that Proctor spread the information and details of the ongoing investigation to parties to whom the information does not concern. One might also question how Proctor has handled his previous investigations? If he has done them in the standard of the guidelines of investigation which I highly Doubt, then all the more reason to wonder about his thoroughly unprofessional investigation in the case of Karen Read. Well, I think Kevin Albert knows as well as does the inner circle he belongs to.
