00:00:00,720 --> 00:00:02,320
BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS

2
00:00:02,400 --> 00:00:04,800
I'm going to pack something,

3
00:00:04,880 --> 00:00:09,840
which I certainly don't need anymore
in this trial.

4
00:00:09,920 --> 00:00:12,400
I hope next time I pack -

5
00:00:12,480 --> 00:00:18,400
all my court suits,
which I hope I won't need anymore.

6
00:00:18,480 --> 00:00:22,200
I'm being accused
for murdering a Boston police officer.

7
00:00:22,280 --> 00:00:24,720
This is already the third year.

8
00:00:24,800 --> 00:00:29,320
I just want to be alone
without my court robes.

9
00:00:29,400 --> 00:00:33,760
I don't want to hear from experts.
I want this to be over.

10
00:00:55,440 --> 00:00:58,000
Could you say your name?

11
00:00:58,080 --> 00:01:01,800
Constable Joe Paul, P-A-U-L.

12
00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:06,360
Constable Paul is
traffic accident investigator -

13
00:01:06,440 --> 00:01:08,840
of the State of Massachusetts
in the police.

14
00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:12,360
He examined the car,
went through the systems -

15
00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:16,320
and analyze what happened.

16
00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:20,400
He founded the study
to the car's computer data.

17
00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:23,720
Based on the data
the vehicle reversed directly -

18
00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:27,080
for about five seconds.

19
00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:30,040
The speed was at its maximum
39 kilometers per hour.

20
00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:31,200
- Right?
- Yes.

21
00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:38,720
Paul checked the car's computer
from that night.

22
00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:44,640
Karen reportedly canceled
19 meters to the car -

23
00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:49,240
0 to 39 kilometers per hour.
Then he stopped abruptly.

24
00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:52,920
Cancellation is up to the prosecutor
the basis of the whole thing.

25
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:57,720
It is alleged that he canceled and
crashed into John O'Keefe, killing him.

26
00:01:57,800 --> 00:02:01,360
The vehicle was traveling faster...

27
00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:04,360
...with greater acceleration when...

28
00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:09,440
Sorry.

29
00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:16,280
Right in his first testimony
Paul was nervous.

30
00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:21,400
The vehicle accelerated before
as it ran into John O'Keefe.

31
00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:24,360
The man was left on the road.

32
00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:27,160
When it comes to this case,

33
00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:32,640
what kind of analyzes did you do?
in terms of kinematics?

34
00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:38,440
I did a business analysis for my report.
Kinematics studies movement.

35
00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:41,240
In this case -

36
00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:45,720
it's about collision
combined with side sweep.

37
00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:51,520
The victim hit the corner panel of the car
and to the Tail Light area,

38
00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:55,000
from which he threw himself forward
and to the left -

39
00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:57,800
because of the side swipe.

40
00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:00,600
His back could hit the ground.

41
00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:05,680
There was a podium at the venue,
where he could hit his head.

42
00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:09,080
Asphalt could cause damage.

43
00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:12,560
Then it was Alan Jackson's turn.

44
00:03:12,640 --> 00:03:17,240
Paul's cross-examination
was disastrous for the prosecution.

45
00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:20,040
It was hard to watch.

46
00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:25,480
Do you have a degree?
from mathematics?

47
00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:26,800
No.

48
00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:30,520
Do you have a degree in physics?

49
00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:33,360
- No.
- What about kinematics?

50
00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:34,440
No.

51
00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:38,000
- What did you study?
- I studied a 2-year degree.

52
00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:41,240
- From what field?
- From the administration of justice.

53
00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:46,560
Alan Jackson got Paul
to look inexperienced...

54
00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:53,000
...from the accident investigator,
who did not understand his own information.

55
00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:57,360
I can't say for sure,
where the pedestrian was hit.

56
00:03:57,440 --> 00:03:59,840
- You can't say...
- To be sure.

57
00:03:59,920 --> 00:04:05,080
- Slow down and speak more clearly.
- All right.

58
00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:08,760
you said
that you cannot say for sure

59
00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:12,040
that it resulted in a pedestrian being run over.

60
00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:17,240
I'm talking about data points
in the technical data input.

61
00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:19,640
Of the points during that time.

62
00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:24,200
Is there any evidence that
that he hit the ground and rolled?

63
00:04:24,280 --> 00:04:27,280
No. There is no evidence of that.

64
00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:30,760
Your expert opinion is,

65
00:04:30,840 --> 00:04:34,960
that he flew in the air there,
where he was found.

66
00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:36,960
I don't mean that.

67
00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:42,240
- There is no evidence of rotation.
- And not by air.

68
00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:47,440
So. Right.

69
00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:49,840
- Objection.
- Let's accept.

70
00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:52,040
Paul theorized,

71
00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:56,080
according to which the car hit
on the arm of John O'Keefe,

72
00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:58,400
causing him to fall backwards -

73
00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:02,200
and hit the back of his head
to the frozen ground,

74
00:05:02,280 --> 00:05:05,080
which caused his head injury.

75
00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:10,280
I've always wanted to know
where did the car hit John?

76
00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:13,120
Did the car hit you in the back of the head?
No, it hit the road.

77
00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:17,680
How did the car hit the head?

78
00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:21,480
There are no injuries on the shoulder.
No injuries in the middle body.

79
00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:25,280
On the ribs or back
there are no injuries.

80
00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:26,840
- Right?
- Yes.

81
00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:32,440
You assume that the hit came to hand
and mainly from the back light,

82
00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:36,400
and got stuck in the vehicle
and stayed there so long,

83
00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:39,240
that the taillight shattered.

84
00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:43,520
His arm
there were scratches or abrasions.

85
00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:47,200
He did a pirouette,
spinning counterclockwise,

86
00:05:47,280 --> 00:05:51,000
and flew 9 meters in the air there,
where he ended up.

87
00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:55,880
Yeah, but it happened faster.

88
00:05:57,840 --> 00:06:01,000
you said
that he hit his head on the curb.

89
00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:03,000
It is possible.

90
00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:10,040
It is possible that he hit
to the curb while rotating counterclockwise.

91
00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:15,040
Good. Jurors, adjourn for the morning.

92
00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:19,160
Then the defense brought to the scene
two men from ARCCA,

93
00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:22,840
which is accidents
reconstruction company,

94
00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:28,360
and works for the state,
For the NHL and many others.

95
00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:32,160
The FBI had hired the firm
to investigate the case.

96
00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:34,800
- Mr. Jackson.
- Thank you, honorable judge.

97
00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:37,120
They were professional -

98
00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:42,360
and had college degrees
in biomechanics, physics -

99
00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:45,800
and in other fields,
which the accident investigation requires.

100
00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:51,280
The side impact is minimal
force, even between vehicles.

101
00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:55,320
Side impact of the vehicle
and between the pedestrian -

102
00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:58,440
would cause very little damage
for pedestrians.

103
00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:01,040
There would also be little movement.

104
00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:06,920
Could there be damage to the tail light?
could have been born from a hit in the hand?

105
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:11,000
That doesn't seem likely
for several reasons.

106
00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:15,120
We don't believe
that they could be caused by it.

107
00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:19,920
They said no car crash
could have killed John.

108
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:24,880
I had understood that O'Keefe had
had a skull fracture in the back of his head.

109
00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:31,040
We wanted to evaluate the back of the head
targeted blow.

110
00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:34,480
Do you believe that Tail light damage -

111
00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:38,520
were caused by a hit
John O'Keefe's head?

112
00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:41,600
For damages
it doesn't seem likely.

113
00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:49,320
If you don't believe,
that someone else killed John O'Keefe -

114
00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:57,360
and directed by Karen Read,
as the defense claims,

115
00:07:57,440 --> 00:08:01,400
so how did john o'keefe die?

116
00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:06,320
The taillight broke. next to John
found a broken glass.

117
00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:09,880
If John O'Keefe threw
to the rear light of the glass,

118
00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:12,560
could it have broken the light?

119
00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:16,560
Based on the evidence
the most likely scenario is that

120
00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:21,760
that Johnny stood aside
cocktail glass in hand.

121
00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:25,160
There's a dent in the back of Karen's Lexus -

122
00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:29,920
exactly where
A 185-centimeter man would hold a glass.

123
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:33,000
A dent may have been created,

124
00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:37,080
when the Lexus hit
To the glass in Johnny's hand.

125
00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:40,160
I think the tail light hit him -

126
00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:43,320
and tore off his hand as he passed.

127
00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:49,800
Sharp shards of tail light housing
could have caused injuries.

128
00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:53,480
After he was hit,
he spun and hit his head -

129
00:08:53,560 --> 00:08:56,280
either to the curb
or frozen ground,

130
00:08:56,360 --> 00:08:59,600
and there was a great wound in the back of the head.

131
00:08:59,680 --> 00:09:02,680
No! No!

132
00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:06,800
The medical examiner is an impartial body.

133
00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:09,960
He did an autopsy on John.

134
00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:13,360
He was asked about injuries.

135
00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:16,160
I did an autopsy
to Mr. O'Keefe.

136
00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:22,040
I stated that he had head injuries
and signs of hypothermia.

137
00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:28,440
The cause of death was
a combination of the two.

138
00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:32,400
The manner of death is related to the circumstances,

139
00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:36,520
in which Mr. O'Keefe sustained his injuries.

140
00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:42,160
I didn't have enough information
to define

141
00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:46,040
whether the injuries were accidental
or not.

142
00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:50,760
Hence the manner of death
could not be defined.

143
00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:57,760
The coroner could not
to specify the manner of death.

144
00:09:57,840 --> 00:09:59,240
KAREN'S LAWYER

145
00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:05,240
The manner of death is an essential part
murder charge,

146
00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:11,120
but even their own expert
could not determine it.

147
00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:15,160
The defense kept urging
to focus on John's injuries.

148
00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:18,560
Had to watch the hand
and injuries therein.

149
00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:20,760
He had no broken bones -

150
00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:24,480
and below the waist
there were only minor injuries.

151
00:10:24,560 --> 00:10:27,520
The injuries were
the defense's strongest evidence that

152
00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:32,120
that it was about something else
like a car accident.

153
00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:38,320
Can hand injuries be from -

154
00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:44,240
- pieces of glass, plastic or metal?
- It's possible.

155
00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:47,720
And are the injuries you observe
similar to injuries,

156
00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:54,560
which you have seen in others
in pedestrian and car collisions?

157
00:10:56,040 --> 00:11:00,120
They are not
typical pedestrian injuries.

158
00:11:00,680 --> 00:11:04,160
When impartial people
review the evidence,

159
00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:09,320
even if only superficially
As for John's injuries and my car...

160
00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:11,720
Even if you only study them,

161
00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:15,360
clearly see what happened
and what didn't happen.

162
00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:16,640
The problem is that

163
00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:23,960
that by investigators hired by the FBI
there was not all the evidence of the story.

164
00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:28,840
If O'Keefe's hand or head
would have hit the tail light,

165
00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:35,400
one might assume that from the tail light
either blood or DNA would be found.

166
00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:39,360
- Is that true?
- Yes, that's what the report said.

167
00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:43,760
Did you get any information about it.
that O'Keefe's DNA would have been found -

168
00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:48,560
- from the rear light of the defendant's vehicle?
- We don't.

169
00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:53,040
<i>According to the prosecutor, DNA</i>
<i>can prove Read guilty.</i>

170
00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:56,280
<i>John's DNA was found</i>
<i>Read's tail light </i>.

171
00:11:56,360 --> 00:11:59,960
<i>Hair found in the car</i>
<i>was also a victim.</i>

172
00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:08,000
When DNA experts testified,
Alan Jackson was less confident,

173
00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:12,080
when he left the court.

174
00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:16,520
What conclusions
can be done from the analysis -

175
00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:21,680
From the taillight DNA sample
and about O'Keefe's profile?

176
00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:26,480
The samples received are 510 million
times more likely -

177
00:12:26,560 --> 00:12:30,560
derived from O'Keefe
and from two other persons -

178
00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:36,600
like three to each other
from an unrelated person.

179
00:12:36,680 --> 00:12:42,040
Behind Karen's car
John's DNA was found.

180
00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:46,080
It was found in the passage which the prosecutor
believes he was hit.

181
00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:49,120
John's DNA was found in the drinking glass.

182
00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:53,800
It was also found
From the tail light of Karen's car.

183
00:12:53,880 --> 00:13:01,200
Hair was also found in the back of the car,
which was identified as John's hair.

184
00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:06,800
The defense had this
two answers.

185
00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:11,040
First, John O'Keefe's DNA
was everywhere in the car.

186
00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:15,760
He had been in a relationship for a long time
With Karen Read.

187
00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:22,480
On the other hand, if Karen Read's car
towed far away,

188
00:13:22,560 --> 00:13:25,960
how little hair would have stayed
stuck in the car?

189
00:13:26,040 --> 00:13:31,760
It seems strange to think
to keep the hair stuck in the car,

190
00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:36,960
which has been driven 100 kilometers
in a snowstorm.

191
00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:40,920
Do you claim
that the hair stayed stuck in the bumper -

192
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:43,600
during the entire drive?

193
00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:51,680
Prosecutor says blizzard
froze the evidence in the car,

194
00:13:51,760 --> 00:13:55,320
when the car was towed
in freezing conditions.

195
00:13:55,400 --> 00:13:59,320
In the police garage
ice and snow melted,

196
00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:02,920
so DNA was found in the car.

197
00:14:03,680 --> 00:14:08,520
I'm not a scientist. I never have
tried to freeze hair,

198
00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:10,360
so i don't know.

199
00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:14,440
But it is not clear
what actually happened.

200
00:14:17,640 --> 00:14:20,320
Good afternoon.
An important day in the story.

201
00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:24,360
We didn't know if he would be invited,
but today we saw a man

202
00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:31,480
who plowed by Fairview 34
that morning and during the night.

203
00:14:31,560 --> 00:14:35,520
One obvious factor in the story is that

204
00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:41,920
that if Karen Read hit O'Keefe
January 29 at 0:31,

205
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:46,560
the body lay in the same place
all night after that.

206
00:14:46,640 --> 00:14:49,440
It's clear as day.

207
00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:55,840
But the road was plowed
at 2:30 in the morning.

208
00:14:55,920 --> 00:15:00,320
Auraaja's testimony was overwhelming
from the prosecutor's point of view.

209
00:15:06,120 --> 00:15:08,920
What do you remember about the 28th?

210
00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:14,800
We were expecting a snowstorm.
We got the departure times.

211
00:15:15,480 --> 00:15:18,640
We had to start work
no later than 2:30 a.m.

212
00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:22,920
Brian Loughran
plowed snow that night.

213
00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:29,400
He was a witness for the defense,
which was easy to like.

214
00:15:29,480 --> 00:15:36,320
Plow trucks have two plow lights.
They are placed in the corners of the vehicle.

215
00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:41,280
They are high up
and illuminate well.

216
00:15:41,360 --> 00:15:46,720
How far to the sides and in front can you see?

217
00:15:46,800 --> 00:15:50,720
I can see really far.

218
00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:54,960
Maybe three or five meters
head to the side of the road.

219
00:15:55,040 --> 00:15:57,000
Maybe even further.

220
00:15:57,080 --> 00:16:02,600
Do you know Albertie's house?
On Fairview Road?

221
00:16:02,680 --> 00:16:07,200
Yes. I grew up in Canton,
so I knew where they lived.

222
00:16:07,280 --> 00:16:14,800
When you drove past the house the first time
once at 2:45 a.m. with headlights on,

223
00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:22,240
what, if anything, did you see in the front yard
near the flagpole?

224
00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:24,120
I didn't see anything.

225
00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:27,200
- Did you see the body?
- I don't.

226
00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:30,160
He said he drove by the house.

227
00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:33,120
There was no body to be seen
at half past three.

228
00:16:33,200 --> 00:16:37,040
If the body wasn't there by half past three,
the matter is finished.

229
00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:38,520
FREE KAREN!

230
00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:42,320
People who supported Karen -

231
00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:46,560
said they believed
that Lucky's story proved that,

232
00:16:46,640 --> 00:16:51,960
that John's body was not in the front yard,
when people left the party.

233
00:16:53,240 --> 00:16:55,560
What time do you estimate -

234
00:16:55,640 --> 00:16:59,840
having driven to Fairview and Cedar Crest
to the intersection a second time?

235
00:16:59,920 --> 00:17:05,200
- Maybe 3.15 or 3.30.
- Did you see anything unusual?

236
00:17:05,280 --> 00:17:10,160
I saw a Ford Edge on the side of the road -

237
00:17:10,240 --> 00:17:14,480
In front of the Alberts' house.
It was next to the flagpole.

238
00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:17,320
Why was that unusual?

239
00:17:17,400 --> 00:17:21,280
Never in Albertie's yard
there were cars parked.

240
00:17:21,360 --> 00:17:23,920
It felt strange.

241
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:25,400
FLAG POLE, BODY

242
00:17:25,480 --> 00:17:31,280
We don't know why the car was there,
but we have our theories.

243
00:17:32,120 --> 00:17:37,760
Did you find out if anyone owned it
Ford Edge from Alberta?

244
00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:41,040
I don't remember.

245
00:17:41,120 --> 00:17:45,400
- Are you investigating the car registration?
- I don't.

246
00:17:45,480 --> 00:17:48,760
- Did the Alberts own a Ford Edge?
- I don't know.

247
00:17:48,840 --> 00:17:50,960
They owned. Isn't that right?

248
00:17:51,040 --> 00:17:53,960
- Objection.
- The objection is accepted.

249
00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:58,480
The Ford Edge was parked on the street,

250
00:17:58,560 --> 00:18:02,880
so that it would block the view of the yard.

251
00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:10,080
So the real murderer or murderers
could take the body to the yard -

252
00:18:10,160 --> 00:18:14,080
without anyone seeing.
The body could be left there.

253
00:18:17,880 --> 00:18:19,840
Thanks.

254
00:18:19,920 --> 00:18:24,680
I don't know what to think of him.
He seemed like a nice guy,

255
00:18:24,760 --> 00:18:27,000
but it also became clear

256
00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:31,160
that his story had changed
over time.

257
00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:34,200
As he testified, he was unflinching.

258
00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:37,360
"At that time I was there
and at that time here.

259
00:18:37,440 --> 00:18:41,840
I didn't see the body in the yard.
That's about it."

260
00:18:41,920 --> 00:18:45,720
He was being prepared for trial.
He remained unmoved.

261
00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:51,080
Lucky did it perfectly.

262
00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:56,000
He exceeded my expectations in terms of
how did he manage.

263
00:18:57,560 --> 00:19:00,640
Mom can't buy her own drinks
half a year.

264
00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:02,280
He's a hero now.

265
00:19:04,360 --> 00:19:07,840
WAR ROOM

266
00:19:09,160 --> 00:19:14,160
The war room is getting depressing.

267
00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:18,360
We have lived in a room
a couple of months.

268
00:19:18,440 --> 00:19:22,200
It's pretty messy.
We started in the war room,

269
00:19:22,280 --> 00:19:25,000
but with messes
we moved to the cafe.

270
00:19:25,080 --> 00:19:27,960
- Are you working on a final speech?
- Yeah.

271
00:19:28,040 --> 00:19:33,040
I will handle the witness presentations,
but I haven't done it yet.

272
00:19:33,120 --> 00:19:37,200
In such a case,
when there is so much information,

273
00:19:37,280 --> 00:19:42,640
the information must be added gradually
and processed piece by piece.

274
00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:46,920
While preparing for this, I remembered one thing
a quote about truth.

275
00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:50,200
We put Subheadings on sticky notes.

276
00:19:50,280 --> 00:19:54,200
We spread them out to see,
what can be removed or moved,

277
00:19:54,280 --> 00:19:57,120
so Alan could talk less.

278
00:19:57,200 --> 00:20:01,960
"Choose a researcher, get rid of it
about the evidence, the dog and the phone.

279
00:20:02,040 --> 00:20:04,240
Interrogate the witnesses together,

280
00:20:04,320 --> 00:20:09,000
protect the home owner,
because he is a policeman

281
00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:11,800
and most importantly, blame the girl."

282
00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:15,640
If you present the facts skillfully,

283
00:20:15,720 --> 00:20:21,680
no need for jurors
to drown in interpretations.

284
00:20:21,760 --> 00:20:25,440
I want them to think about it for themselves
before i say it.

285
00:20:25,520 --> 00:20:28,120
I want them to end
to the conclusion yourself.

286
00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:30,640
That's the power of a good ending.

287
00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:34,600
"Do the right thing.
Find Karen Read not guilty."

288
00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:38,400
Excellent.
One and a half minutes left!

289
00:20:39,520 --> 00:20:43,680
- That was it. And in less than an hour.
- I liked the changes you made.

290
00:20:43,760 --> 00:20:48,080
Great move, Alan.
Impressive rhetoric. You are done.

291
00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:50,600
Good.

292
00:20:54,200 --> 00:20:57,520
Closing statements will be held today.

293
00:20:57,600 --> 00:21:01,000
This is my last day in court.

294
00:21:02,720 --> 00:21:06,680
I don't have to think anymore
witnesses and questions.

295
00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:08,760
Fortunately, that part is over.

296
00:21:10,360 --> 00:21:14,800
I woke up at one
to a strange feeling that

297
00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:18,520
that I don't know where I'll sleep next night.

298
00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:21,680
I might be alone and in jail.

299
00:21:21,760 --> 00:21:27,840
This feels like a strange dream.

300
00:21:35,800 --> 00:21:39,720
Read's trial begins today
closing remarks.

301
00:21:39,800 --> 00:21:44,120
Read is accused by her boyfriend,
John O'Keefen, for murder.

302
00:21:44,800 --> 00:21:49,880
The jury can choose
on multiple charges:

303
00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:54,960
Read is charged with murder,
for negligent homicide,

304
00:21:55,040 --> 00:21:59,520
and wrongful death
while intoxicated in traffic.

305
00:21:59,600 --> 00:22:05,480
He could be blamed
also for drunk driving.

306
00:22:05,560 --> 00:22:09,640
More than 300 people were there.

307
00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:11,720
They came to support Karen Read.

308
00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:16,200
- Judgment Day!
- Free Karen Read!

309
00:22:16,280 --> 00:22:18,920
- Today is the day.
- Now let's go!

310
00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:24,880
Now the lawyers present
his closing remarks.

311
00:22:24,960 --> 00:22:27,200
They get to talk for an hour.

312
00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:31,240
They both asked that
I warn you when the time is running out.

313
00:22:31,320 --> 00:22:36,120
- Now we hear from Mr. Jackson.
- Thank you, honorable judge.

314
00:22:39,200 --> 00:22:42,400
"Close your eyes."

315
00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:46,440
That sums up the prosecutor's story.

316
00:22:46,520 --> 00:22:53,040
Their wishes boil down to that,
who are trying to deceive you.

317
00:22:53,120 --> 00:22:56,360
<i>Conflicts of interest? Close your eyes.</i>

318
00:22:56,440 --> 00:23:00,280
<i>Calls, Google searches,</i>
<i>fake statements?</i>

319
00:23:00,360 --> 00:23:01,480
<i>Close your eyes.</i>

320
00:23:01,560 --> 00:23:04,480
Jackson's closing remarks
memorable.

321
00:23:04,560 --> 00:23:09,040
He is a phenomenal performer
and storyteller,

322
00:23:09,120 --> 00:23:12,400
whatever it is
to work as a defense attorney.

323
00:23:12,480 --> 00:23:16,480
<i>The prosecutor cannot explain</i>
<i>John's injuries or head injury.</i>

324
00:23:16,560 --> 00:23:20,160
They cannot or even try to explain,

325
00:23:20,240 --> 00:23:24,400
why isn't there in John's body
injuries below the neck.

326
00:23:24,480 --> 00:23:26,240
Let go!

327
00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:30,080
Ladies and gentlemen,
Karen Read is innocent.

328
00:23:30,920 --> 00:23:35,520
<i>Do the right thing.</i>
<i>Declare him not guilty.</i>

329
00:23:35,600 --> 00:23:40,480
It was impressive and elaborate.
It was classic Alan Jackson.

330
00:23:41,120 --> 00:23:44,680
"I hit him. I hit him.
I hit him. I hit him."

331
00:23:44,760 --> 00:23:47,560
You heard four different witnesses,

332
00:23:47,640 --> 00:23:51,400
who heard the defendant
to say this -

333
00:23:51,480 --> 00:23:53,280
29 January 2022.

334
00:23:53,360 --> 00:23:56,880
Adam Lally is not as good a speaker
like Alan Jackson.

335
00:23:56,960 --> 00:24:00,920
There was a lot of information,
but he was not very encouraging.

336
00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:04,880
<i>At 0:17 the respondent drove</i>
<i>Past Beth Abraham temple.</i>

337
00:24:04,960 --> 00:24:07,040
<i>You can see it in the video.</i>

338
00:24:07,120 --> 00:24:09,920
Mr. Lally, five minutes.

339
00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:12,800
Jury interest
began to fade.

340
00:24:12,880 --> 00:24:16,680
One man rested his head on his hand
all the time.

341
00:24:16,760 --> 00:24:20,920
About microscopic bodies
speaking, 1.5 millimeters...

342
00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:24,680
You have a minute, Mr. Lally.
Stop it.

343
00:24:25,800 --> 00:24:30,280
<i>The defendant reversed his vehicle</i>
<i>and ran into O'Keefe.</i>

344
00:24:30,360 --> 00:24:32,760
<i>He caused terrible head injuries.</i>

345
00:24:32,840 --> 00:24:35,320
He left O'Keefe
to freeze to death.

346
00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:39,800
Mr. Lally, you exceeded the time limit.

347
00:24:40,800 --> 00:24:45,400
- I have one sentence left.
- You can say that.

348
00:24:45,480 --> 00:24:51,760
The facts and evidence show
that he is guilty.

349
00:24:51,840 --> 00:24:54,800
I ask you to state
blame him. Thanks.

350
00:24:54,880 --> 00:24:56,960
The final insult was that

351
00:24:57,040 --> 00:25:00,640
that Adam Lally ran out of time,
and the judge stopped him.

352
00:25:00,720 --> 00:25:03,200
I don't know what he was going to say

353
00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:06,000
but when justifying something,

354
00:25:06,080 --> 00:25:12,000
the audience likes
remember the last words.

355
00:25:12,080 --> 00:25:15,200
Unfortunately for Adam Lally
lost his chance.

356
00:25:15,280 --> 00:25:19,240
Jurors, I now give you
legal instructions...

357
00:25:19,320 --> 00:25:22,840
The jury has
six women and six men.

358
00:25:22,920 --> 00:25:25,720
We are waiting for information very much.

359
00:25:25,800 --> 00:25:28,800
I hope we can
acquittal.

360
00:25:28,880 --> 00:25:33,480
We hope for information quickly.
Maybe in hours.

361
00:25:33,560 --> 00:25:38,120
If the reflection takes longer,
the jury is not unanimous.

362
00:25:38,200 --> 00:25:40,000
"We're just waiting,

363
00:25:40,080 --> 00:25:43,520
that you make a decision
honestly and principled."

364
00:25:43,600 --> 00:25:48,920
In order for the prosecution to obtain a conviction,
12 jurors must agree.

365
00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:52,800
An acquittal also requires
Consensus of 12 jurors.

366
00:25:52,880 --> 00:25:57,040
If the jury cannot reach a verdict,
the trial remains unsuccessful.

367
00:25:57,120 --> 00:26:00,320
Then my principal is still in danger.

368
00:26:00,920 --> 00:26:05,080
You may withdraw now
to consider your decision.

369
00:26:05,160 --> 00:26:08,800
Free Karen Read!
Free Karen Read!

370
00:26:09,360 --> 00:26:13,320
I'm prepared for it,
that dreams are few and far between now.

371
00:26:13,400 --> 00:26:17,680
The hardest moment is when
when we hear the verdict.

372
00:26:18,800 --> 00:26:22,600
I have been waiting for this day
already two and a half years.

373
00:26:22,680 --> 00:26:27,240
It's the end of a long road.

374
00:26:27,320 --> 00:26:30,320
The legal affairs have been taken care of.
Now waiting.

375
00:26:30,400 --> 00:26:35,440
I hope the jury decides
quickly and fairly.

376
00:26:35,520 --> 00:26:39,800
When the jury returns, the justice
an officer will contact us.

377
00:26:39,880 --> 00:26:43,960
We are waiting to go to the courthouse.

378
00:26:44,040 --> 00:26:48,280
I feel judgment is coming
today or tomorrow.

379
00:26:48,360 --> 00:26:54,440
In a perfect world
we would get the verdict today.

380
00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:59,280
I know supporters hope so
solution today,

381
00:26:59,360 --> 00:27:00,840
but you don't know that.

382
00:27:00,920 --> 00:27:05,000
Can't know what 12 unknowns
people think.

383
00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:14,920
THE JURY WILL CONSIDER
ANOTHER DAY

384
00:27:18,920 --> 00:27:22,600
I believe we will get a decision today.

385
00:27:25,120 --> 00:27:28,520
I keep coming back to the evidence.

386
00:27:28,600 --> 00:27:31,680
I can't imagine the situation,
where 12 jurors -

387
00:27:31,760 --> 00:27:35,400
would hold him guilty.

388
00:27:40,400 --> 00:27:42,400
- No.
- Right?

389
00:27:47,640 --> 00:27:51,840
AT 12:00 COURT
GOT A MESSAGE FROM THE JURY.

390
00:27:51,920 --> 00:27:54,480
CONSIDERATIONS HAVE BEEN USED
SIX HOURS.

391
00:27:54,560 --> 00:27:58,520
- Has the verdict been given?
- Why was he called back?

392
00:27:58,600 --> 00:28:03,480
We don't know.
We hope for a good and correct verdict.

393
00:28:03,560 --> 00:28:09,120
The jury asked
SERT's report,

394
00:28:09,200 --> 00:28:12,520
but the judge said
that they have all the evidence -

395
00:28:12,600 --> 00:28:15,960
and no further evidence is given.

396
00:28:17,360 --> 00:28:21,440
Maybe they're looking for clarification on that,

397
00:28:21,520 --> 00:28:24,840
when the first taillight
part was found.

398
00:28:24,920 --> 00:28:28,960
That's good. They have handled
January 29 -

399
00:28:29,040 --> 00:28:31,640
and are now talking about that night.

400
00:28:31,720 --> 00:28:33,720
Karen, come here.

401
00:28:34,800 --> 00:28:36,800
I know...

402
00:28:39,120 --> 00:28:42,920
You will get through this.

403
00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:47,160
I was wondering
should i go to the bathroom

404
00:28:47,240 --> 00:28:51,040
because it doesn't work in handcuffs.

405
00:28:51,120 --> 00:28:54,480
- I haven't hugged my father today.
- You won't go to jail.

406
00:28:54,560 --> 00:29:00,640
Karen, it's amazing,
that you broke just now.

407
00:29:00,720 --> 00:29:04,600
- It tells about your strength.
- All kinds of crazy things are going on in my head.

408
00:29:04,680 --> 00:29:06,680
You won't be in jail.

409
00:29:06,760 --> 00:29:09,840
i know
but there is a small chance...

410
00:29:09,920 --> 00:29:16,080
I'm not ready for this. Mentally
yes, but not physically.

411
00:29:16,160 --> 00:29:17,960
Okay, let's take a little break.

412
00:29:18,040 --> 00:29:21,840
It was actually a stealth start.

413
00:29:28,280 --> 00:29:31,080
REFLECTIONS CONTINUE
THIRD DAY

414
00:29:35,040 --> 00:29:38,440
Stay in the building until ten.

415
00:29:38,520 --> 00:29:42,400
- Come back at half past four.
- Stop.

416
00:29:42,480 --> 00:29:45,040
I took some work with me yesterday.

417
00:29:45,120 --> 00:29:50,240
I thought maybe I would make it
make phone calls,

418
00:29:50,320 --> 00:29:53,920
or view accounts
or do something else useful,

419
00:29:54,000 --> 00:29:57,600
but it didn't work.

420
00:29:57,680 --> 00:30:00,480
I can't concentrate
to anything else.

421
00:30:01,960 --> 00:30:04,440
The mood is darker.

422
00:30:04,520 --> 00:30:08,240
Just like the weather
would have escaped from the balloon.

423
00:30:08,320 --> 00:30:10,560
People are starting to understand

424
00:30:10,640 --> 00:30:16,200
not the jury
let's just give our verdict like that.

425
00:30:16,280 --> 00:30:20,960
The case is so unique,
that it cannot be compared to anything.

426
00:30:21,040 --> 00:30:27,600
Interpreting signs
and worry or excitement -

427
00:30:27,680 --> 00:30:31,440
is a waste of time.
Now you just have to wait.

428
00:30:31,520 --> 00:30:34,640
Judgment will come when it comes.

429
00:30:36,760 --> 00:30:40,400
nobody knows
how long will this last

430
00:30:40,480 --> 00:30:44,560
Supporters of Karen Read
hoped for a quick solution.

431
00:30:44,640 --> 00:30:47,880
Hope for an acquittal
starts to fade.

432
00:30:52,640 --> 00:30:55,240
REFLECTIONS CONTINUE
FOUR DAYS

433
00:30:55,320 --> 00:31:00,840
The deliberations now continue for the fourth time
days in the murder trial.

434
00:31:02,160 --> 00:31:09,120
If the thoughts go on for days,
the jury is clearly divided.

435
00:31:09,200 --> 00:31:12,680
It's normal,
but also a bit worrying,

436
00:31:12,760 --> 00:31:16,240
because I hope for a quick decision.

437
00:31:16,320 --> 00:31:19,560
AT 12:00 COURT
GOT A MESSAGE FROM THE JURY.

438
00:31:19,640 --> 00:31:22,360
CONSIDERATIONS HAVE BEEN USED
A TOTAL OF 18.5 HOURS.

439
00:31:22,440 --> 00:31:27,440
Lawyer, you are aware
from the message from the jury?

440
00:31:28,440 --> 00:31:32,360
"Dear Judge Cannone,
I am writing to inform you,

441
00:31:32,440 --> 00:31:35,920
that of careful evidence
despite going through -

442
00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:40,080
and disputed evidence
despite careful consideration -

443
00:31:40,160 --> 00:31:43,560
we have not been able to do
unanimous decision."

444
00:31:43,640 --> 00:31:45,720
Chairman's signature.

445
00:31:45,800 --> 00:31:50,120
This is the fourth day.
I'm not ready to say

446
00:31:50,200 --> 00:31:54,160
that the discussions have been
thorough and appropriate.

447
00:31:54,240 --> 00:31:58,840
The jury announced
being at a dead end.

448
00:31:58,920 --> 00:32:02,080
The chairman used
rather strong language about

449
00:32:02,160 --> 00:32:07,800
that there is evidence
thoroughly reviewed,

450
00:32:07,880 --> 00:32:09,840
but no decision is made.

451
00:32:09,920 --> 00:32:13,640
The jury looked frustrated.
I've been staring at them -

452
00:32:13,720 --> 00:32:17,520
maybe ten weeks.
I don't know what else we can do.

453
00:32:17,600 --> 00:32:22,600
I just want to go home
eat and drink something.

454
00:32:22,680 --> 00:32:24,240
Free Karen Read!

455
00:32:24,320 --> 00:32:31,760
The jury heard as they deliberated
cheers from behind the building.

456
00:32:31,840 --> 00:32:34,160
It pissed me off.

457
00:32:34,680 --> 00:32:40,640
Deliberate jurors should not
hear shouting from a block away,

458
00:32:40,720 --> 00:32:44,080
when they are trying to make a decision.
It's unfair.

459
00:32:44,160 --> 00:32:49,440
I'm asking the members of the jury
to continue thinking.

460
00:32:49,520 --> 00:32:55,240
If the jury had believed
conspiracy theory,

461
00:32:55,320 --> 00:32:58,040
the decision would have come quickly.

462
00:32:58,120 --> 00:33:04,240
Within days, the jury
looked at different evidence.

463
00:33:04,320 --> 00:33:09,800
I thought no acquittal
no longer seems likely.

464
00:33:09,880 --> 00:33:15,640
The deliberations have continued for four years
days, and no judgment has been received.

465
00:33:15,720 --> 00:33:19,520
The jury was deadlocked,
but they were told to continue.

466
00:33:19,600 --> 00:33:24,880
They can either pass judgment,
or if they reach a dead end,

467
00:33:24,960 --> 00:33:29,960
the judge gives to the jury
instructions for sentencing.

468
00:33:31,120 --> 00:33:36,640
It's starting to feel like
that the jury cannot decide.

469
00:33:36,720 --> 00:33:40,200
What else are they thinking about
after ten weeks?

470
00:33:40,280 --> 00:33:42,920
What are they digging?

471
00:33:43,000 --> 00:33:46,760
That's what I was thinking about the jury.

472
00:33:49,360 --> 00:33:53,240
REFLECTIONS CONTINUE
FIVE DAYS.

473
00:33:56,360 --> 00:33:59,440
Remember when we talked about timing?

474
00:33:59,520 --> 00:34:03,720
Someone said something about July.

475
00:34:03,800 --> 00:34:07,400
I wonder if this lasts
until July,

476
00:34:07,480 --> 00:34:12,080
- we end up listing ourselves.
- And here we are now.

477
00:34:12,160 --> 00:34:16,040
Did you hear about Turtleboy's movie deal?

478
00:34:16,120 --> 00:34:18,840
- I don't.
- On the weekend?

479
00:34:18,920 --> 00:34:22,160
Who plays David
In a Turtleboy movie?

480
00:34:22,240 --> 00:34:26,120
Jon Hamm.
We want Jon Hamm to be you, David.

481
00:34:26,200 --> 00:34:29,600
He is my wife's biggest crush.

482
00:34:29,680 --> 00:34:33,120
- Right?
- She loves Jon Hamm.

483
00:34:33,200 --> 00:34:35,920
He's not Brian Higgins, but...

484
00:34:40,040 --> 00:34:44,360
- Funny.
- You know what? In the name of fairness,

485
00:34:44,440 --> 00:34:48,320
at 3 am Brian Higgins
maybe looks like Jon Hamm.

486
00:34:48,400 --> 00:34:50,200
- Right?
- Right.

487
00:34:50,280 --> 00:34:54,240
- Thank you, David.
- I always take your side.

488
00:35:01,760 --> 00:35:04,760
This is an important day.
There are a lot of people there.

489
00:35:04,840 --> 00:35:07,400
Judgment day is expected from the day.

490
00:35:07,480 --> 00:35:11,200
The day feels really different.

491
00:35:13,760 --> 00:35:17,400
AT 2:15 PM LAWYERS
INVITED TO THE COURT HOUSE.

492
00:35:17,480 --> 00:35:20,440
CONSIDERATIONS HAVE BEEN USED
A TOTAL OF 26.5 HOURS.

493
00:35:23,320 --> 00:35:26,640
I do know
that I must face judgment.

494
00:35:26,720 --> 00:35:33,520
I hope no one passes out.
I hope my parents are okay.

495
00:35:33,600 --> 00:35:37,880
In the worst case scenario
I have to keep fighting.

496
00:35:46,680 --> 00:35:47,960
READ IS INNOCENT

497
00:35:49,680 --> 00:35:51,080
JUSTICE FOR JOHN

498
00:36:00,160 --> 00:36:01,520
JULY 1, 2024

499
00:36:01,600 --> 00:36:04,000
Sit down.
The session has started.

500
00:36:04,080 --> 00:36:10,280
- 22117, State v. Karen Read.
- The jury cannot reach a decision.

501
00:36:10,360 --> 00:36:14,080
- They're arriving now.
- Get up when the jury arrives.

502
00:36:14,160 --> 00:36:18,440
Harass. I try to relate
positively by the jury,

503
00:36:18,520 --> 00:36:24,680
but my life is in their hands.
I would like to know how mine is.

504
00:36:24,760 --> 00:36:30,000
- Well now!
- The jury arrives!

505
00:36:30,080 --> 00:36:33,920
- The jury arrives!
- Shut up!

506
00:36:35,760 --> 00:36:39,560
<i>All right, Mr. Chairman,</i>
<i>got your message.</i>

507
00:36:39,640 --> 00:36:42,640
<i>“Judge Cannone,</i>
<i>despite our best efforts -</i>

508
00:36:42,720 --> 00:36:44,960
<i>we are still at an impasse.</i>

509
00:36:45,680 --> 00:36:49,320
Our view of the evidence
are drastically different.

510
00:36:49,400 --> 00:36:54,160
Some of us believe
that the evidence is sufficient -

511
00:36:54,240 --> 00:36:59,080
to prove the charge
beyond a reasonable doubt.

512
00:36:59,160 --> 00:37:02,960
<i>Some of us don't believe</i>
<i>meets this requirement -</i>

513
00:37:03,040 --> 00:37:07,920
<i>at a sufficient level.</i>

514
00:37:08,000 --> 00:37:11,720
The division is not due to
hadn't we thought about it,

515
00:37:11,800 --> 00:37:15,800
but that we stick to it
in our own principles -

516
00:37:15,880 --> 00:37:17,880
and in our convictions.

517
00:37:17,960 --> 00:37:20,360
It would be pointless to continue the consideration -

518
00:37:20,440 --> 00:37:25,240
and would force us
to give up our convictions."

519
00:37:25,320 --> 00:37:29,240
I don't require it. You did your part.

520
00:37:29,320 --> 00:37:32,880
I declare a trial
to remain without a solution.

521
00:37:37,880 --> 00:37:40,520
An unsuccessful trial.

522
00:37:45,320 --> 00:37:48,520
Free Karen Read!
Free Karen Read!

523
00:37:48,600 --> 00:37:52,720
74 witnesses
and more than 600 proofs,

524
00:37:52,800 --> 00:37:58,080
and none of the parties involved
get a final decision on the matter.

525
00:37:58,160 --> 00:38:00,680
<i>Karen Read hugged her family -</i>

526
00:38:00,760 --> 00:38:05,680
<i>before he and his lawyers left.</i>
<i>They gave a short statement.</i>

527
00:38:05,760 --> 00:38:10,680
This is what happens when an innocent person
is falsely accused.

528
00:38:11,320 --> 00:38:14,720
We won't stop fighting.
We won't give up.

529
00:38:15,880 --> 00:38:17,360
Bye, everyone.

530
00:38:21,640 --> 00:38:23,880
- Let them smell shit.
- Right.

531
00:38:28,200 --> 00:38:32,520
We were surprised that
how difficult the end result was for everyone.

532
00:38:32,600 --> 00:38:37,840
We knew this could happen.

533
00:38:37,920 --> 00:38:40,720
Some of us could wait for it.

534
00:38:40,800 --> 00:38:44,160
But it was like a blow
against the face.

535
00:38:44,240 --> 00:38:49,640
I immediately realized that the family would have to
to go through the same again.

536
00:38:49,720 --> 00:38:52,600
That was my first thought.

537
00:38:54,440 --> 00:38:59,120
No one likes no results
trial as fair.

538
00:38:59,200 --> 00:39:05,840
We think it would be fair to
that Karen could go home -

539
00:39:05,920 --> 00:39:08,120
and all charges would be dismissed.

540
00:39:08,760 --> 00:39:13,280
Morrisey announced,
that they try again?

541
00:39:13,920 --> 00:39:17,800
Yeah. Are you all right, dad?

542
00:39:17,880 --> 00:39:20,200
This is hard for parents.

543
00:39:20,280 --> 00:39:24,120
I was allowed to leave the courthouse.
I'm half free.

544
00:39:24,200 --> 00:39:28,840
After all, it beats imprisonment,
but this is unbearable -

545
00:39:28,920 --> 00:39:32,880
as well as for me
that for my 75-year-old parents.

546
00:39:32,960 --> 00:39:35,680
And to everyone else,
who care about me.

547
00:39:39,000 --> 00:39:42,600
It's hard to prepare
to an unsuccessful trial,

548
00:39:42,680 --> 00:39:47,560
after working hard
and wants a different outcome.

549
00:39:47,640 --> 00:39:50,040
Now we are back at the start screen.

550
00:39:51,040 --> 00:39:56,280
But we are relieved that
that Karen is still with us.

551
00:39:56,360 --> 00:40:01,320
He's not in jail.
We are ready to continue the fight.

552
00:40:04,400 --> 00:40:08,120
The feeling is great and miserable.

553
00:40:08,200 --> 00:40:12,600
We tried so hard,

554
00:40:12,680 --> 00:40:16,720
not an unsuccessful trial
feel like a win.

555
00:40:16,800 --> 00:40:22,120
We succeeded, but we didn't win.
Victory is an acquittal.

556
00:40:24,720 --> 00:40:28,240
Me and David didn't talk potash
at the courthouse.

557
00:40:28,320 --> 00:40:34,680
Let them try.
This person will certainly not be judged.

558
00:40:35,400 --> 00:40:39,280
I'm not disappointed.
You think I am, but I'm not.

559
00:40:39,360 --> 00:40:42,440
- The head is just messed up.
- Yes, I understand.

560
00:40:42,520 --> 00:40:46,760
I've lived in hell
already three months.

561
00:40:46,840 --> 00:40:50,720
It's been tolerable
only thanks to you.

562
00:40:50,800 --> 00:40:54,800
I don't want you to leave, but...

563
00:40:56,240 --> 00:40:57,960
I'm not disappointed.

564
00:40:58,040 --> 00:41:01,760
I am grateful.
You have always been...

565
00:41:01,840 --> 00:41:07,320
My everyday life has been a pain.
I'm like in purgatory.

566
00:41:07,400 --> 00:41:14,880
I find comfort in a strange way
from being immersed in the case.

567
00:41:14,960 --> 00:41:20,440
I feel like I'm fighting
and it helps to cope.

568
00:41:20,520 --> 00:41:23,920
I can't fight anymore
and it feels weird.

569
00:41:24,000 --> 00:41:27,240
Yes, definitely.
I'm in no hurry.

570
00:41:29,920 --> 00:41:33,080
I have been by his side
from the first.

571
00:41:33,160 --> 00:41:39,960
I believe in Karen's innocence.
I'm waiting

572
00:41:40,040 --> 00:41:44,280
that I am by his side
even on the last day,

573
00:41:44,360 --> 00:41:46,560
when the case is finally resolved.

574
00:41:50,280 --> 00:41:54,480
I don't think we'll ever know
what happened that night

575
00:41:54,560 --> 00:42:01,240
Read will surely be charged again
of murder and manslaughter.

576
00:42:01,960 --> 00:42:05,880
Canton's wound still bleeds,

577
00:42:05,960 --> 00:42:10,120
and it won't get better,
while the settlement of the case continues.

578
00:42:10,760 --> 00:42:13,160
THE COURT HOUSE

579
00:42:13,240 --> 00:42:16,480
The result didn't make anyone back down.

580
00:42:16,560 --> 00:42:21,160
Now for all parties
there is something to prove.

581
00:42:21,240 --> 00:42:22,360
JUSTICE FOR JOHN

582
00:42:22,440 --> 00:42:26,240
We won't give up. Then,
what the O'Keefes have experienced,

583
00:42:26,320 --> 00:42:27,920
I won't give up.

584
00:42:28,000 --> 00:42:31,800
I know Johnny would fight
for justice.

585
00:42:32,600 --> 00:42:36,160
We do this
as many times as needed.

586
00:42:36,240 --> 00:42:38,720
We will continue as long as necessary.

587
00:42:38,800 --> 00:42:43,280
The district attorney has made it clear,
that the case is processed,

588
00:42:43,360 --> 00:42:45,400
until justice is served.

589
00:42:45,480 --> 00:42:50,240
We persevere forward,
until we get justice.

590
00:42:50,320 --> 00:42:54,760
At some point
everyone gets their due,

591
00:42:54,840 --> 00:42:57,520
and I don't wish for anything else.

592
00:43:03,040 --> 00:43:08,880
{\an8}I returned home after being away
almost three months.

593
00:43:09,640 --> 00:43:13,640
{\an8}It's nice and quiet here.
I feel safe.

594
00:43:13,720 --> 00:43:17,680
{\an8}It's nice to enjoy the silence.

595
00:43:17,760 --> 00:43:21,880
{\an8}But this is temporary.
The prosecutor is still after me.

596
00:43:21,960 --> 00:43:27,840
{\an8}However, we can rest for a while
and enjoy the sun -

597
00:43:27,920 --> 00:43:30,640
{\an8}or swim in the lake,
and then we get on with the job.

598
00:43:33,640 --> 00:43:36,120
{\an8}The fight continues.

599
00:43:39,000 --> 00:43:43,480
{\an8}Karen Read's second trial
should start in April 2025.

600
00:43:43,560 --> 00:43:46,360
{\an8}A new prosecutor has been appointed to the case.

601
00:43:46,440 --> 00:43:50,000
{\an8}Michael Proctor was suspended from office
in 2024.

602
00:43:50,080 --> 00:43:55,040
{\an8}There is no federal investigation
published information.

603
00:43:55,120 --> 00:43:59,040
{\an8}O'Keefe's family filed a civil suit
against Karen Read.

604
00:43:59,120 --> 00:44:02,600
{\an8}The case is pending.

605
00:44:02,880 --> 00:44:06,000
Karen Read is the only

606
00:44:06,080 --> 00:44:11,760
who has been accused
On the death of John O'Keefe.
