A big nothing burger. What charges? Let’s see your knowledge of the system.

Then why did FBI waste taxpayers money hiring those biomedical people to investigate. You don't need to knowledge of a system to know evil or corruption when you see it. ​@williammason8566

Why did they wait until the DA lost to act? Why didn't they act as soon as they knew Proctor and his Supervisors lack even basic integrity or common decency?

[@nancymilawski1048]

They have started an internal investigation. And possibly the FBI might get involved .

[@lelestw9571]

Evidently all they had is what Proctor provided to them the defense brought out all the illegal things he had done

This is why you should NEVER vote for a conviction on the word of a police officer

Kerry Said Colin wasnt there while John was there . JOHN WAS THERE AT THAT HOUSE . Free Karen

[@williammason8566]

Kerry was never at the house. Kerry was not even at the bars prior. So how does Kerry know who was there when she herself had zero to do with any of them the night of the 28th leading into the morning of the 29th. Facts are a funny thing

[@nuorigin]

Caitlin not Kerry but yeah, a bunch of liars

[@Gle7799]

She just innocently stumbled on her words. He waa there outside. She was talking in hindsight and goofed. My opinion.

[@user-ut3ft4qn5f]

She definitely let that out she said John was there

His Supervisor's were involved in Procter"s text messages, that makes any & all of them just as Culpable as Procter! We must fight for all of them to RELIVED OF DUTY! WHICH ACTUALLY MEANS FIRED!! ABSOLUTELY ALL OF THEM DESERVE IT THIS & IT IS WARRANTED! IT OBVIOUSLY IS THE CULTURE AMONG ALL OF THEM!

[@lifesabeach8133]

There's no explanation possible about the jury members who were on the guilty side, except that they were strongly biased to the police community or agains KR (perhaps paid or indebted to someone involved in the frame up) or they were plain idiots. No sane, normal person starting in the neutral mindset could have looked at the evidence and testimonies and not see a mountain of reasonable doubt. Take away the names, genders, origins and professions of people involved and look at just the evidence, there is no proof the victim was actually hit by a car, and plenty of evidence to the contrary. I've never seen a judge try to railroad a conviction in any trial, this was a first and it was shockingly obvious. I wonder how the judge and the jury siding with guilty feels today after seeing the breaking news of Proctor being rehomed, just like the dog Chloe. Essentially, those jurors stood by a vote of confidence in the lead investigator by trusting his testimony, which to anyone with eyes was a stinky pile of BS. That the state police waited for the end of the trial to announce this is just another sign of how deep their manipulation of the community they serve is inbedded into that system. This is not a good look for the whole justice system in that state, seems they go by "guilty 'til proven innocent" there and they'll do anything to uphold that.

[@allistairesmith4067]

The only positive out of this is, the public became involved and have a million questions to ask about Law enforcement. From here on in , the public must maintain their diligence on anything to do with Law enforcement and no longer take their words for the truth. This trial should mark the end of this countrywide. With all the evidence presented and all the lies told by the State how can the verdict be mistrial. The Jury system needs to be strengthened said an onlooker. Therein lies a major problem. Obviously Comprehension and intelligence lacking. Our education system has been on display for eternity, it is becoming more obvious now.

If karen was found guilty, proctor would still have his job😅 they're forced to relieve him, NOT because it's the right thing to do?

[@Krhaavi]

Why not “fired” tho‼️

[@dianehill6612]

Proctor needs to go to prison. Can’t wait to hear what the FBI has got on all these corrupt cops DA ETC.

[@AonlineRedneck]

Yeah they are trying to stop it from going any higher up the chain, but just for the optics he should have been removed from lead investigator from the start!

Justice for Officer John O'Keefe 🙏🕯️

I would like to know how the jiry voted

[@paulettewilliams2176]

Something went wrong in that house that night

[@Krhaavi]

Don’t be fooled people, if Karen Read would have been found guilty Trooper Proctor would be being hailed a hero….he should have been fired not simply re-homes

[@chocol8milk]

Chloe rehomed ✅ Proctor rehomed ✅ Nothing to see here, move along.

[@Gle7799]

Colin left early

[@gdenny1748]

Of course he was! They didn’t do it before because everything he said would be proven to be a lie.

Let this send a strong message that God is watching and this level of consciousness will come to light -what you posture towards another is ultimately what is Internalized in you. The true cover up exposed
