Karen Read accused of backing into boyfriend and leaving him to die *TRIAL IN PROGRESS*

1691951367971.png

This woman didn't do this. I'd be willing to bet that someone in the house did it. Someone in the house looked up "How long will it take for somebody to die in the cold." Karen couldn't have done that search.

Is there a cover up conspiracy?

Hmm. I think a few in Daybell knew and were picked, it doesn't automatically exclude. Arguably they are both high profile and that one probably far more so.

The reasons they are though are different. Here this one probably never would have been but for the D and KR making it widely known and poisoned the pool themselves. Wasnt the case in Daybell.

Going through 50 a day doesn't seem like much but I can't recall what's typical, maybe that's the norm. I for one appreciate the info as I'm not looking at the info/news/links in this one right now but I might see a post. Having to pick and choose while getting on things in life and so on.

I'm actually glad they aren't on at the same time (other than jury selection).

Going thru 50 probably is normal, but only getting 2 or less out of 50 probably isn't. That's 96% of jurors knowing about it.

Generally though, that would not automatically put them out.
It seems in this one it does. The other thing it tells is that one or both sides are really going at it with questions perhaps and maybe trying to get the judge to strike because they only get so many strikes themselves. I haven't watched a lot about the jury selection here or read the links but maybe a lot of prescreening was done but you'd often lose how many of that 50 like off the bat or fairly quickly and i'd think they'd end up with more than that brought in in a day and a few more selected and/or they would be running out of strikes. Hard fought is my guess but I'd know more if I was watching I realize. When strikes run out, then generally it goes a bit more quickly. Not sure how much time allotted either. Each day or for jury selection in terms of days. I did know or hear but that was beforehand.

Not watching this but seen enough jury selection in life. 50 still seems low to me. Would indicate to me arguing going on to get judge to strike for cause is my guess. Well they are like 3/4 of the way there aren't they or thereabouts?

Only one more juror needed now. SC denied her request to delay the retrial. Her appeal on double jeopardy reasons has still to be determined.

Scott predicted they will be denied, thinks little chance. Of course that's not 100% but it's usually right. I would have predicted same but he does so with far more knowledge than I have lol.

So one more juror?

I almost think that may be over Daybell who lost two quite fast early on in what is to be a long trial. I honestly do think some of these cases they should go for more because if they get down to not enough jurors all that work goes out the window.

Court seats 15 jurors in Karen Read retrial, 3 more needed​

Fifteen jurors have been seated in the retrial of Karen Read, who is accused of killing her boyfriend, Boston police Officer John O'Keefe.

The court aims to seat 18 jurors in total, 12 to deliberate and six to serve as alternates.

Read said during a lunch break Monday that no jurors were selected in the morning and that one man who had been seated was later dismissed.
 
KR should learn to shut her mouth. Jmo. Isn't she represented by how many attys? Why is she yakking? Can't they all speak for her or all shut up? But I guess if she wants to, just like that recent interview, let her....

I do think it is a good idea to get extra alternates.

Don't you mean tomorrow? That is what it says. Not sure how they know they will get 3 more today at the slow rate they are going. Maybe both sides are out of strikes, wouldn't know as I haven't been watching. Even then though the judge can still strike or either side call for it for cause.

I think i was thinking if they got all the jurors they needed they could start today, but you're right as they are taking ages getting jurors.
 
It's been two weeks selecting a jury so far.

Karen Read jury stalled at 16 people as selection process hits 2 weeks

Jury selection in Karen Read's high-profile Massachusetts trial continues Tuesday for a 10th day as the jury has been stalled at 16 people since late last week. The selection process has now been ongoing over the course of two weeks.

Judge Beverly Cannone is aiming to reach 18 jurors to begin the trial. On Thursday, a 16th juror was seated, which is the minimum number needed for the trial to get underway. Cannone has wanted to find additional jurors in the event that any issues come up during trial.

The trial is taking place inside Norfolk Superior Court in Dedham.

There are 54 people under consideration for the jury on Tuesday, bringing the total to 591 so far over the last two weeks. Out of the people in the courtroom on Tuesday, 43 have heard of the case and another 26 said they have already formed an opinion. Another eight said they have a bias toward one side or the other.

Karen Read trial​

Read's first trial ended with a hung jury leading to a mistrial. In that trial, there were 19 jurors to start, but only 14 were left by the end after several were dismissed.

Prosecutors allege that Read hit and killed Boston police officer John O'Keefe, who she was dating at the time, with her SUV and left him to die in the cold during a blizzard outside a Canton home in 2022. Read says she is being framed as part of a coverup including several people including law enforcement.

Read has pleaded not guilty to charges of second-degree murder, manslaughter while operating under the influence of alcohol, and leaving the scene of personal injury and death.
