Killer Or Cover-Up Murder Trial
S1, EP177 "Defense Delivers Closing Arguments"
Karen Read's defense went first in delivering closing arguments. Her attorney, Alan Jackson, told the jury that the prosecutors lied and that the accusation that Karen read killed her boyfriend, John O'Keefe, was a quote travesty of justice. Jackson went on to tell jurors to not to be fooled by the State's claims. He said John O'Keefe went inside the Albert home after being dropped off and was later beaten up and dumped in the snowy front lawn.
S1, EP178 "State's Final Remarks"
Judge Beverly Cannone gave both sides just one hour to deliver their closing arguments. It was the State's turn to deliver its closing argument in Massachusetts versus Karen Read. The lead prosecutor began with the defendant's repeated lines after finding John O'Keefe in the snow - I hit him, I hit him, I hit him. Lead prosecutor Adam Lally dismissed the Defense's long-held belief that a police conspiracy led to a cover-up and Karen Read being framed for murder.
S1, EP179 "She Left Him In The Snow"
Prosecutors gave an elaborate timeline to the jury on how the murder of John O'Keefe occurred. The State displayed a visual exhibit of the timeline of events which included the step-by-step movements of the defendant and the victim. Lead prosecutor Adam Lally highlighted the strained relationship between Karen Read and her boyfriend, claiming this was her motive to kill him. Soon the jury of six men and six women would decide whether she was responsible for O'Keefe's death.
S1, EP180 "Hung Jury"
The jury began deliberations after more than two months of testimony. They were told different stories about John O'Keefe's death and what happened during this murder investigation. Jury notes came back to Judge Beverly Cannone. But, on day five of deliberations and after 22 hours, the jury's final note to the judge made clear that they were quote: Deeply divided by fundamental differences. That was enough for the judge to declare a mistrial.
