      I am new to this case and may I ask about 3 topics;
      #1 The condition of the tail light.... There was a video of Karen pulling of of the car and bumping in to another. The light certainly was still illuminating but with the damage we later saw ... was it still illuminating?
      #2 That cop/ investigator most certainly said some rotten things about Karen (very sexist and most certainly not in any way necessary) but if he "fabricated" the broken "lens cover" on the passenger side rear of the Lexus ... Was there some sort of forensics done in the broken plastic? By the prosecutors or the defense?
      #3 If Karen "backed" into John and "knocked him out" or whatever would have led to him not being able to get to the house .... Was there any medical evidence that indicated he was unable to get to his feet? And if the abrasions on his arm were a result of being attacked by the dog ... I would bet there was canine DNA on his arm ... was evidence to that nature presented?
      #4 Karen Read's plate was quite full but she mentioned after the verdict was read that she has been a huge advocate in John's death .... What has she done.... I really am unaware.
      Thank You

That man stood by her through unimaginable pain, and instead of acknowledging a parent’s strength and heartbreak, you're accusing him of chasing money? Sometimes, it says more about the person casting stones than the one standing tall. Try a little empathy.

They sided with a position, connecting on social media like they were rooting for the Super Bowl, and they found a space within community. It's disgusting. Absolutely despicable.

    If the jury had any lingering doubts when the verdict was read out, it would have quickly disappeared when they heard the roar of approval from the crowd outside. I don't know how this will happen, but I sincerely hope that John's family get the answers they deserve.

      @QuirkyMemories 26 days ago +5

      I was looking forward to seeing him speak. This could be any of our children. No argument that she drank, they all were drunk. But he knew his little girl had not hit her boyfriend with her car. He seems the kind of man that would have left the car there if he had an inkling she was guilty. He wouldn’t have driven the murder weapon and incriminated himself. He clearly raised her with integrity and honesty. He and his family have almost lost everything to prove this and the corruption of law enforcement. I’ve watched all of this from the uk. It’s been a fascinating journey and this came one year too late but I’m so glad this legal dream team saw it through with such passionate advocacy. Not one of these now accused officers will ever cite defamation against him, as he will ensure every bit of evidence that pointed to them comes in. I honestly think that John will get justice some day. You can’t have all those homes and not all ring cameras subpoenaed. I think there’s a video saved somewhere that tells the real story. But, if you had it would you hand it over knowing the power those officers wield? It’s heartbreaking for the Okeefes but absolutely factually evident that Karen dropped off her boyfriend, testified to by 2 that John went into the house and the rehoming of the dog and family moving out and selling their ancestral family home is so telling. I hope Karen makes more money than they spent on attorneys and definitely more money than syndicated tv will make from their documentary/lifetime movie about HER.

      This is not just Canton, this is a system that is corrupt, and the people of Canton have been fighting back. When the whole system is corrupt (judicial, law enforcement, political and some citizens) it takes more than a village to show the world that corruption. Through Karen's innocence, it has brought the world together to fight back against that corruption. The donations raised to help her defend herself came from the average person around the world, not millionaires. Let us not forget, the attorneys defending Karen Read did it PRO-BONO. That is how strong they saw her innocence. As we are seeing, more people have been wrongfully convicted, treated/murdered by the corrupt system.

    One of the biggest heroes here, besides Sgt. Barros, is by far Lucky! What a man of absolute pure, utter integrity. He didn’t want fame, recognition, or donations, he just wanted to tell the truth. If we could all be a little more like Lucky, what a miraculous world this would be.

    He almost lost his baby girl twice. Thank God the truth came out. That law enforcement department shame on them they killed there own. Shame on the state attorney for even trying this case! Shame, shame, shame evil freaking people and that judge is guilty to and shame on her for pursuing a case of lies and defending the true criminals. Unless she has some ulterior motive to clean up that police department.... Shame on this judge.

    Mr Read - always so eloquently spoken, we were and are here supporting Karen and your family! The fight has finally been won, and we pray that Karen is able to recover- financially, all that was lost and more in the future. Her perseverance and unwavering commitment to the truth is and will forever be remembered by all of us, especially us women, what a testament to strength and courage! Every time I saw you in the courtroom or speak outside , I could see where she got those traits from. Even your posture sitting in the courtroom exuded strength and it was as if you were leaning forward just enough to extend that strength to her, sitting in front of you. May God bless you and Karen and the rest of your family, and my prayer is that she will continue to rise above all the negativity associated with these trials- and blossom into the purpose God ultimately has for her life. With Love and Prayers - A 43 yr old mom in Middle Tennessee

      I heard somewhere that once she was found innocent the FBI would restart their investigation. Thats the reason commonwealth had to have a guilty verdict- the investigation would’ve been over. But thank God they didn’t get what they needed. I’m sure Higgins and all the bad actors are
      in a frenzy. Just like they were before Karen was arraigned.
