The trial of Karen Read, accused of murdering her boyfriend, Boston police officer John O'Keefe, ended in a mistrial on June 28, 2024. The jury, after five days and approximately 20 hours of deliberations, remained deadlocked and unable to reach a unanimous verdict. This led Judge Beverly Cannone to declare a mistrial. The case has been marked by intense scrutiny and controversy, raising questions about whether the state will pursue a retrial or seek new evidence to continue the legal proceedings​Karen Read's defense argued she had no motive and suggested alternative theories for O'Keefe's death, including an accidental fall or being hit by another vehicle. The prosecution, however, presented evidence they claimed showed Read was responsible for his death. The mistrial leaves the case unresolved, with significant public interest in the next steps the state will take.The Commonwealth has indictated that they will re-try the case, although that has not been etched in stone yet.(commercial at 10:48)to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Karen Read murder trial: Mistrial declared after jury deadlocks and an investigator is relieved of duty | CNNBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.
