This is a step towards justice. His actions during the investigation were unacceptable. Now, time to prepare to retry Read for her actions.
Where is the segment from last night's Closing Arguments with the attorneys??
He is NOT FIRED! HE SHOULD HAVE BEEN. But a TRANSFER
from the DAs office. Difference is IA is doing an investigation.
I think you should keep your bad opinions to yourself and not present them as facts.
“No proof he tampered with anything.” Uhhhh technically there’s no proof he did because he covered it up! How do you explain the deleted sallyport video? And the way they tried to reverse the video? If he wasn’t doing anything nefarious (like tampering with evidence) then they would’ve ran the whole case by the books. They would’ve had taken photos of her suv prior to bringing it to the sallyport (not to mention it didn’t even have to be brought that far), had the cameras on and working, not have deleted footage, and on and on and on.
This whole case was mishandled from the beginning, at Proctors hands.
He needs to be charged with official misconduct at the very least and most likely perjury.
I dont care where you transfer this man, he should never be able to decide the fate of an accused citizen again.
Right. He can be on the night crew housekeeping but even then he might even lack the skill to handle a broom vacuum or wipe and just hide in a broom closet looking for nudes online. Disgusting trash!
Perfect said 👏 👌 🙌
He should not be transferred to anywhere in the department. He should not be allowed to work in anytime of law enforcement!!
even if he was demoted to a file clerk would still be bad news but to regular trooper is like saying continue the nefarious work. should *NOT* anywhere near law enforcement,
*periodt*
It’s not just his crude messages. It’s his corruption of evidence !!
💯 agree with you
Prove he corrupted evidence. That was not possible because there wasn’t time.
He didn't corrupt any evidence! Stop it! She's going to have another trial & be found Guilty this time!
This case is so sad because of what the mean girls/boys made sure no one ever knows who killed a son. Uncle. Brother. Because they wanted everyone to believe Ms Reed done it. Plain sad as a mom who lost a son wept thinking these so called friends are caring. Truth is if they cared about the truth...they wouldn't have lied. Never seen so many witnesses tell the same story nor all those butt dials. I call bs on this so called investigation.
@Prettypeachylife there is a chain of command for evidences. Broken. Including the "temporary evidence" room.
No, he was guilty of shoddy evidence. Both the way they retrieved it, and handled it. There was absolutely an evidence issue
*ESPECIALLY*
when Jackson called one of the pieces of taillight a:
*SALAD PLATE* 😅😅😅
Exactly!!!!
Shoddy? What’s that?
shady, lousy, shrouded, sup, poor, shabby
And a hung jury? Crazy
It’s not about the bad text messages, it’s the clear lack of evidence, a botched trial, and the close connection he has with the Alberts. Proctor will be protected forever because he “took one for the team”. Shame on all of them
Every case that Proctor was involved in needs to be reopened. He needs to be in jail.
Agreed!
No the problem was he was friends with all the cops involved.
The FBI is investigating. The results of their investigation will be so damning for Canton PD, including Proctor and the rest. I’m sure they are also looking back at past cases. As a result, the Commonwealth will NOT retry the case against Karen Read. And charges will come for those involved in the cover-up. Get your popcorn.
Proctor is a black man nightmare…..
Poor excuse for a cop
He was not hit by her car that’s the facts
I still don’t understand the data from the car that showed Karen’s car going backwards at 26mph and also that it showed she hit a pedestrian??
The detective who testified didn’t understand the information either
@@lyndaczika6327 not true
that man was not hit by no car, he can not be serious
...You'd be surprised: There are some really stupid people out there, including some people who do not even look at any of the evidence: They simply "Listen & Believe" what Gov, TV, & Police tell them: We call these people *_Sheeple NPCs._* However, for these two *_Clowns_* here, they're simply a byproduct of *_The Stanford Prison Experiment_* effect: They've Roleplayed their job for so long & they've encountered so many actual POS perpetrators, that they become jaded & blind and simply refuse to admit that there's anything wrong with the System that they work for & support: That right there is EGO.
Exactly, no way!
He was beat up and eaten by coyotes
@@waynedichiara6054 FBI EXPERTS say... NOT GUILTY!
Are you serious that there was no proof that he did not interfere with evidence 🤷🏼♀
I can’t stand Court TV. That’s why they released this to make sure to throw that statement out there.
Give it up people! You know he’s corrupt and you know he’s guilty of tampering evidence.
His boss is covering his butt because he also was in those text messages with him
He also didn’t follow SOP
You can't conduct an investigation and be biased and wish death on the person you are investigating and also talk about medical issues and look for nudes? I question you as a human being as well . Where are the morals and dignity and doing jobs with pride ? Y'all make me sick 🤢🤡🤡🤡🤡
I used to like Julie Grant 😒
When are taxpayers going to be relieved of paying him?
Never.
Never this is just smoke and mirrors. They will not do anything and it will just fade away.
With a union involved… never.
That's why thousands should be calling Mass.State police barracks & voicing their outrage!@@mransom1956
It’s a transfer and fully paid and not a disciplinary or punitive . I would be sacked for one tenth of such behaviour
Pending disciplinary
Nive to be in sheltered government employment
He will be fired. They just have to go through the process. If they don’t, the feds will get involved.
Anyone else would be sacked, yes. But police unions wield immense power, and incompetence and rogue activity are protected.
It doesn't take much, to find yourself in the crosshairs of a bad cop. When that happens, down you go.
News flash: Both Karen and Proctor use bad words
@@user-dl5td8jd4e news flash in your job you don’t get to use them about tax payers
Proctor was just one of the puppet of MCALBERTS!!!
A former Fed said Brian Albert and his nephew Collin killed John O’Keefe in the basement. Brian was disciplined two times before for beating colleagues while off duty.
*mcalbertins*
4got higgins so I added it...
😅😅😅
For posterity, the translation is " _Proctor was just a puppet of the Alberts & McCabes_ ".
@@nikolaikalashnikov4253 and higgins but
actually really just
alberts&higgins,
both got rid of their phones&higgins got proctor the messages he wanted him to have... so it should be:
*higbert*
He didn’t appoint himself to the case
NOT FIRED, he was TRANSFERRED. Big difference. He's in the union.
Transferred to his house lol. He is no longer acting as a trooper. He will get fired soon
@@EmperorOfManI doubt he will get fired they rarely do even after committing crimes
Re homed….it’s a Massachusetts thing, that’s how it’s been done here all the time.
@@kabbystevens5167😂🎉👍 This was a good one
He is being fired. You don't understand the terms being used. It's a 3 step process. Stop spreading bologna.
You're making it sound like he just needs a slap on the wrist. The whole investigation was a travesty , he didn't interview or inspect anyone or anything as an investigator should. It wasn't just the comments, he showed everyone that if he didn't like you , you could be doing life for a traffic ticket.
And, who in LE was overseeing his investigation and allowing the dishonesty and shoddy techniques to continue?
FBI will make an example of these crooked folks. They will clean house.
News flash: Both Karen and Proctor use bad words
@@user-dl5td8jd4e Karen balled out her boyfriend bc she thought he was with another woman. Proctor was offensive, disgusting and perverted in his capacity as a 'professional'.
@@user-dl5td8jd4e News flash: KR wasn’t acting as a professional or official capacity, there is a standard that has to be upheld, Proctor failed miserably and in doing so exhibited a clear lack of professional integrity.
Also, despite their best efforts to minimize Proctor’s misdeeds as being limited to insensitive comments, in actuality he completely mishandled this investigation and because of it the O’Keefe’s may never have justice for John.
And, if you actually believe (despite all evidence proving the opposite) that KR is guilty then you should be upset at Proctor for royally messing up the entire investigation from start to finish.
Why is this woman still working for court tv?? HE ABSOLUTELY TAMPERED WITH THE EVIDENCE. WTF??? KAREN'S TAILLIGHT! Fire this court tv reporter and PROCTOR.
And she said he was fired, which is inaccurate. He was relived of duties and transferred, which is not the same thing
She's a disgrace.
I don’t understand neither. She can barely talk because of all the fillers.
She has shown her bias from the very beginning.
do better with your reporters, Court TV. Julie has been racking such negativity!
Meanwhile the real murderers are still walking free.
Is Colin Albert or someone in the Albert's clan still a possibility of committing these serious crimes or not.
@@gilbertannis6449Yes. Could be any one of them or two or three of them together. I hope the FBI uncovers the truth no matter who is involved.
Brian and Brian… guilty as not charged
@@KaitlynJaney The FBI are the best investigators in the world!
@@melissabenson6749 Well, actually they are also the biggest liars.
This woman should not be speaking on the Karen Read case. She is horrendously biases, just as Proctor was.
ur so wrong. there is clear evidence that there was evidence tampering and also with him trying to discuss this case with me and tried to sway her.
Not the reporter's job to allege wrongdoing. He hasn't been charged.
@@donmoore7785 it the reporters job to state a bold faced lie that there was no evidence he tampered with the evidence when we all saw it plain as day - no chain of custody until it hits the lab; off the books meetings with witnesses that are family friends; clearly altered and attempted to obfuscate the alteration of video evidence; missing video evidence…the list is way too long to go on
Be clear if you’re going to be clear. He didn’t follow ANY protocol during the investigation. No photos of so called damage to the SUV prior to moving it at her parents house or warrants for her phone. And many many more things
ABSOLUTELY
She’s absolutely SUGAR COATING the big disgrace proctor!
The National Enquirer has more credibility than Court TV at this point. It’s truly sad what this channel has become.
And yet you are a paying member of this channel LMAO.
So, are you canceling your membership? Was it gifted?
Well all I can say is go there. Court TV works hard keeping us all up to date ❤
Julie is so biased. Just like Wendy Murphy.
Julie is awful like coffindaffer
And are they going to apologize to Karen Read and her family because he violated her rights?! Karen Read should sue all of them for malicious prosecution! And intentional infliction of emotional distress with this BS charges & indictment😢
exactly. and even after all this, they are still trying to cover up for one another!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Proctor had his chance to apologize to Karen in the courtroom and didn't!!! What a piece of crap 😡
this host w/ her hatin' self, suggest the o'keefe family should sue
Karen Read...
the nerve of her🤨🤦♂️🤦♀️🙄
This is such a strong statement. Why didn't they apologize to Karen And her family. What did State say? Are they sorry for not getting an innocent person convicted?
Can Julie Grant get anything right on this case?? He was transferred.. he was not fired. Your bias, Julie, is horrendous! I will never watch you again.
👏 👏 👏
No evidence! Really 😮
I stopped long time ago before the Karen Read trial even started. I am only here to read the comments. She talkes like she is telling a story to children, or when she talkes to her panel she sounds like a Kindergarten teacher talking to little kids.
Your reporting on this case has been ridiculously bias. It’s been hard to watch. It shades your credibility in my eyes. How anyone can downplay this is beyond me. Let it be you or a family member in this position and see how it feels to have him be lead investigator.
I feel bad for the victim’s family. But if they want to be angry, be angry at trooper proctor. He is the reason why no one really knows what happened to their family member.
Even if we forget the text messages with his friends & with his superiors, he BOTCHED AN ENTIRE INVESTIGATION!
"Took immediate action" my ass 😆
So if she would have been convicted sounds like they would have left him alone.
yeah probably. .sadly...it now makes them look bad..or worse.
My thoughts exactly. The injustice just gets deeper.
Yeah really.
What an interesting thought!
PATHETIC!
He also investigated a case where he had ties and failed to investigate thoroughly.
Proctor should never have been on this case in the first place due to his ties to the Albert/McCabe families.
WHY IS EVERYONE SO EAGER TO CONVICT HER OF SOMETHING???!!!! AND PROCTOR WAS NOT FIRED, HE WAS RELEASED OF HIS DUTIES !!! JEEZ, GET YOUR FACTS RIGHT PRESENTER
Not even released of duties .... Just transferred out of that DA office
Shes guilty wait part 2 is comming soon to a courtroom shes not gonna like..
@@KathyCyr-dg7bvlololol 😂😂🤣😂 ok Karen
@@KathyCyr-dg7bv Oh please state the evidence that makes her guilty???
This is a complete embarrassment for the mass state police.
And for the US police and US justice. It affects all of us, corruption affects every American.
If anything was learned in this trial it was that all those officers were DUI admitted to it and most of them drove and They admitted to that too Underoath on the stand Proctor's not the only one who should be in trouble
Is this another slap on the hand? He should be working at a gas station no disrespect to any person who works there. Who would want him? As a famous defense attorney recently said "shame on you trooper Proctor" !
Guy in bottom right is completely off in left field. He should be honest and admit there is no legit evidence
Guy probably has carbon monoxide poisoning, the detector kept going off
EGO is one hell of a drug: It's hard to admit that the very System you work for & support might be WRONG.
Why didn’t they relieve him of his duties earlier? They knew what he did. Were they okay with that before the Mistrial? I don’t get it.
The MSP union here in mass is insane
Question is why haven’t they removed more of them? Like the other “buddies” from his group chat.
I know right? They must have known all about this before the trial, it’s just that now the whole world knows too so they have no choice but to “relieve him of his duties.”
More cover up, and covering for each other.
In my opinion, it’s because if she was convicted, he would’ve been left alone. Since she was not, they immediately turned to him.
He should be arrested along with the rest of his colleagues for staging a crime scene like they did in the SANDRA BIRCHMORE case !😤😠🤬
Excuse me ..what? Exactly what are the strong points that Lally made that he should have "repeated" to help his case? He was a terrible prosecutor!!! He had nothing to back up any of his witnesses tales.
Evidence was the deleted, altered and damaged video. Why would they delete the video?
I had a difficult time listening to your bias when you covered this case. I usually turned you off. Others that covered didn't show their bias. Even listening to this, you certainly don't hide how you feel.
The FBI witnesses said he wasnt hit by a car, so what exactly is court TV thinking?
they don't believe in the Science presented in this case!
When you're dealing with the Mindset of a *_Sheeple NPC,_* the word of an Authority figure is always going to outweigh the actual evidence: It's kind of a weird hybrid of Logical Fallacies between "Appeal to Authority" & "Bandwagon Effect", except no one ever has to explicitly make that argument: It's just pretty understood for *_Sheeple NPC_* & *_Group-Think_* types, that when a Officer or Gov Official charges someone with a Crime, they go " _Well, if they charged them, it must be true_ ": That's the mentality we're dealing with here !!!
It’s about time. No integrity.
He has not been fired. He was only transferred.
Karen Read needs to sue Proctor...and every state police officer that was involved in this case or involved in his disgusting text messages. Proctor isn't the big bad guy that he thought he was...I could laugh in his face!!!
I agree with you 100 percent
I think they transferred Proctor to get rid of him, but now he's someone else's problem 😢
Rehomed like Chloe.
Well, it may not be a victory to you, but Karen Read didn’t get escorted out of the building to a prison.
He helped put doubt in people's minds. I'd never trust him. I stayed neutral, which was hard due to his messages. Had I been on the jury, I'd have to say not guilty since his evidence is questionable
You’d think OKeefe family would finally realize that John was killed in the house!
But why is it based on the verdict/mistrial? Something should have been done immediately.
Oh I think the more they look into this case, they will find more wrongdoing.
Sandra Birchmore sex crimes of PD investigated by JO.
Not fired MOVED!!! disgraceful still
I would agree that a mistrial favours the Prosecution or Commonwealth in most cases, but not in this case. If you watched the whole trial in conjunction with what was on social media, there was a ton of evidence that came out after each Prosecution witness testified that contradicted what they testified to. One example of many, Colin Albert said he's never been in a fight. After he testified, the defence received multiple videos of Colin Albert bare knuckle fighting. They weren't able to get it into evidence this trial, but you better believe it will be part of the next trial. They will also never be able to separate the evidence from Trooper Proctor. He handled everything.
Experts for the fbi didn’t even think he was hit by a car!
Yes, very much unlike the paid for moron prosecutions expert witness. The fbi’s experts had 3 doctorates and they said he absolutely was not hit by a car!
Yea, well Court TV doesn’t mention any of that. They are bias in this case, honestly they are on prosecutions side in every case.
Why the house where the murder occurred NEVER was searched? More than that it was SOLD
Were you watching the same trial?
His serious lack of professionalism was horrendous. He's a disgrace to the badge.
Julie Grant, did you look into this at all? He was not fired. Extreme misreporting, but you did that throughout the entire trial, so I don’t know why I’m surprised 🙄
Julie Grant what are you talking about, the skull fracture alone must have been done with a hammer or similar instrument not a fall he was pummeled. RN
A lot of us watched entire trial. Many lawyers! They don’t agree with you!
Immediate action? No... they knew about these texts when they went through his phone. Right then, it would have been immediate. Only because the public was made aware of it did they take action. This is beyond disgusting!! Im so glad I moved out of MASS!!!
But but but FBI AARCA scientifically proved KR car did not hit OJO nor are his injuries consistent with KR car hitting him. How do you get past that?
Dear court TV, Do you not understand English? He was not fired, he was relieved of his duties pending an investigation.
I dt think she killed anybody
Could this have been a more slanted piece? Were they watching the same trial we were?
The last 2 defense witnesses were outstanding in evaluating whether John O'keefe was hit by a motor vehicle. Their conclusions are eye opening. The pair were hired by the FBI for a good reason and more developments in this case are expected.
They waited until the outcome of the trial? What bearing does that have?
How scummy, “I would try this again” your colleagues messed up, now you want to drag this person through another trial to get a second go at it??
Clearly , he Never investigated, instead of an investigation he created false evidence and violated her rights
I think it will be called a witch hunt if they try to prosecute again. They should investigate and try to find the real killer
I’m surprised it’s taken this long!
He absolutely tampered with evidence. Two people and a video proved Karen's taillight was not completely shattered.
He was just moved to be a problem in a different department. They are just trying to say look we did something about his bad behavior.
It is a department that doesn't do any police work.
And then his wife follows up post trial with "she's a murderer". Shame.. it doesn't reflect on the MSP. They are top notch
I’m surprised this prosecutor even thinks that there was any evidence showing he was hit by a car after the FBI hired Arca drs showed it could not have occurred.
🤦🏼♀️y’all Judy don’t want to see the evidence for what it is. Geeez you can’t dispute the data. Toyota doesn’t lie. 🤣🤣KR is going to prison soon💯💯
Common Court TV. Can't you find more intelligent panel speakers. Please don't try to tell your audience a car injured him? It is clearly dog bites.
This trial was an absolute embarrassment for the prosecution and the investigators/ police. I learned a lot about how completely unprofessional they are.
Disgraceful
WHAT is this reporting saying? Proctor has no involvement in framing KR. Please stop reporting BS when you have not see the trial.
Took long enough to remove this disgrace to the badge!
He is still getting paid. He needs to be fired.
They transferred him. Union.
The DA Morrissey is also corrupt!!
Two cops got rid of their phones. Every single forensic examiner said this was not the appearance if accident. Absolutely no bruising. Those are facts and evidence
There was a time when I respected Julie Grant but her words and actions have completely changed my mind.
So if they convicted Karen everything would be ok..disgraceful MSP
Reading between the lines, Proctor would not have been "relieved of duty" if there had been a guilty verdict. They apologized to the O'Keefe family, as they should, but what about Karen? She deserves an apology because she is the one that was offended. It looks like the government is going to die on the cross that Karen is guilty. They will not continue to look for more evidence of another offender. Their mind was made up within hours of the event.
Those jurors was NOT supposed to vote off of EMOTION ! They are supposed to follow the EVIDENCE
Theres no way theyre trying her again. Proctor was a vital part for f their case which is why they risked putting him on the stand. Now that hes fired the defense can use that against him if he testified in a second trial and he would lose all credibility. Without proctor they have nothing.
Yes they are!
I’m not sure if all of you ppl at Court Tv watched the same trial as the rest of the world! 🥴
A car did not injure him. Why don't you know it by now?
There's plenty of evidence of tampering. If Proctor didn't do it, who did?
Also, given Proctor felt totally comfortable doing all this, including texts to his chief, one has to be very clear that we are. talking about systemic issues and a toxic culture at the department.
No there was plenty of evidence of tampering, writing wrong times on whrn he took the car, taking names out of police reports that were important. .. yes the bastard sure did tamper with evidence. I mean how dare him not even go into the home, not doing interviews for well over 18 months. Good luck
How does he ignore that smoke detector?!!
What a tool
This wasn’t just “bad behavior”, he was prejudiced against Read. He automatically thought she was guilty and even stated he would do whatever he needed to do to make sure Read paid. 😮
Proctor was spot on with KR! She lied soo many times about this I don’t blame him. He was right! She IS a wack job & she’s going to prison. Believe that!💯💙
@@Luvlacek3she won't. Even if you look thru these comments people cannot agree. You'll never get a jury to agree on a guilty verdict
@@angelicahancock7939 Yes I know & there was suppose to be a NG verdict in an hour🤣 it’ll happen. They’re gonna bring in the Nightline interview where she said she hit him & just that will help people see that Karen maintained that she did this for the first 4 months & then all of a sudden she was framed? It’s insane. She’s a liar & a killer! I promise you they will not stop until she’s in jail where she belongs!
Just because he’s a massive jerk doesn’t mean Karen is innocent.
The defense didn’t have to prove a conspiracy. Only provide reasonable doubt. Which they did.
Ridiculous and one sided
The prosecution said they had the evidence to prove without a doubt she did it… they failed. How will a second trial work with Proctor being canned?
My fear is that every player has something on everyone else. One goes down, they all go down.
Exactly
Isn't there an oath ... to "protect and serve" ? A transfer, oh my. What a cop-out.
I don’t understand what trial they watched. Absolutely not guilty
Should the Commonwealth try Karen Read again? No.
You say, "There was no evidence that showed he actually took place in any tampering or framing of any kind." Get real, and look at the shoddy evidence the commonwealth presented. Charges never should have been brought against Karen Read, an innocent woman. Court TV absolutely sucks.
Col. John Mawn of Mass St troopers needs to rebuild public trust. It’s too late and not enough. We will see how it goes at his disciplinary hearing.
How does that guy not know that beeping sound means he needs to replace the batteries in his smoke detector?
