No it’s pathetic Bev that you’re ‘tired’

[@KnucklSandwich]

The fix is in with Aunti Bev. She'll take care of it.

[@brendahastings3985]

Tired Tyrant Judge. Very shameful how this Judge acts towards the Defense. Clear as day she has some sorta skin in the game. They didn't want this Judge in the first place & it clearly shows WHY. She's got the goid ole boys mob mentality.

@KnucklSandwich I heard that the Judges brother was the lawyer for Chris Albert when he did a hit n run back in the 90's & it killed a guy. The Judges brother (lawyer) got Chris off and he only served 6 months time. Just unbelievable these corrupt people.

[@lexismom9341]

This judge needs to go after this trial. She runs an absolute clown show there. Half days filled with sustained, sustained, speak into the mic, keep your voice up, she's tired, blah, blah, blah. Then she tries to pull a fast one on the jury with the jury form. Unbelievably CORRUPT!!!!

Very well said. And let’s not forget all the heavy sighs and twirling of her glasses.

[@torijade2246]

I am so appalled by this judge and I was so proud of AJ for talking back to her and telling her that he took great offense to her basically calling him a liar when she was trying to justify Lally keeping his witnesses out! The way she was so rude to Yenetti made my stomach turn! Thank God Karen has Lawyers that are willing to stand up to Bev and say “I don’t care if this is how it’s always done, there needs to be a not guilty on this form!” Good for both of them!!

[@hectornegron9155]

Karen WASN’T laughing bc it's NOT funny at all. That smile said: "No not guilty option? Are you effing serious?" The way I see it the only option this judge is giving this jury is "guilty no matter what" and that’s a disgrace for Miss Read, this community and for the judicial system as a whole.

[@clake8931]

Thats BS and you know it !

[@MakeItTooBigToRig]

This judge shows signs of narcissism. She views disagreement as a personal attack. Her 'mask' slipped today.

[@jennameeks5136]

Not guilty verdict, Very obvious, Even though Karen was drunk & drinking, & driving, They all were drinking, drunk, & driving, but the Suv isn't what hit John O'Keefe, Evidence shows how John died, That's from being Beaten, & attacted by the dog. Also this Judge should of been removed, This Judge was ready to convict Karen & The Judge was hoping the jury would give Karen the murder charge or manslaughter charge, Karen's lawyers Action Jackson is so good he notices & so glad he spoke up to Ole miss tired Judge So she says how tired she is, This Judge has a sit down job how are you so tired, Just do your job. This Judge should of been removed, Karen smiled because her lawyer Jackson is so good he caught that there wasn't a box for not guilty, This is a person life on the line, You need to do your job right, The jury should get it right, Not Guilty...

[@josephinedimercurio5012]

We need a guilty verdict

[@MakeItTooBigToRig]

This jury is correctly questioning the legitimacy of the taillight pieces, which is why they asked for the SERT report. Proctor's actions can not be ignored. It would be a disservice to the public.

[@debrashawcross170]

Bev is a hypocrite she laughed at Yanetti over the Verdict Form!

[@TMxo]

As she should. It was his responsibility to look at the form before it went before the jury. How often have you ever watched trials? Karen has 3 attorneys, a whole team. It was on all 3 of the defense team members to look that form over before it ever landed in the hands of the jurors. How did they let that slip through the cracks. Seems like they really wanted to pass the buck off on Bev. I really wish the people knew how a court process actually works

[@Tess-163]

She’s not the one on trial here

[@Childless-cat-lady]

@TMxo The defense team DID look at the form, found the problem and brought it to Bev’s attention. Bev was too tired to deal with it, even though she said she agreed. The next morning she gave the form to the jury without meeting with the defense team about the correction.

[@moralfortitude...2217]

Cuz Jackson is from Cali, sponsored by him (V) that why Jackson said: *I don't care how its done in Massachusetts* thus the reason the jealous judge directed that question to (V, he practices in Massachusetts) & he disagreed...

[@moralfortitude...2217]

​@@TMxoshe doesn't have a team, she has 2 law firms working together. JACKSON is a Cali Lawyer by way of (V)the other attorney. But, like Jackson said: *I don't care how its done in Massachusetts* (being how much time has passed & no verdict, gave the form a closer l👀k) trick no good, by the prosecution & judge, they knew exactly what they were, doing.

Please do a tasteful take on the judge’s bias. An entire bully town, Canton police and State set this young lady up. The nay sayers are judging KR’s behavior.

Does she really think her background has not been confirmed? she is contributing to a true miscarriage of justice!💔

Again, this judge is going out of her way to get a conviction, she must have been made aware of the backlash she received on social media as she quickly changed her mind and handed the jury a proper verdict form. During the defense expert witnesses, she swiveled her chair from side to side, and later she twirled her reading glasses in her hand, it distracted me and I am sure some of the jurors were distracted, and then the coughing at the beginning of the trial to make Lally aware he can object, I could go on and on.
