Aunty Bev, enough said. The limiting the FBI reconstruction witnesses under rule 14 was just plain wrong as the information was given to both the defence and the prosecution, especially in light of the difficulty the defence had in getting information because it did not "exist", like the SERT report. Coupled with the fact that the defence wanted more time, but "Aunty Bev" would not allow that. Lally was happy to use the FBI information re the Proctor text messages to head off what was coming from the defence, when it suited him. There were so many things that were shady IMHO including the sudden removal of jurors at a late stage (what a wonderful way to fix a jury by putting in a report to the court that a juror was seen or heard saying something) and the change of the jury selection without showing the defence the numbers, The objections being handled at Side-Bah, and then the declaration of a mis-trial without finding out if it was all the charges. Sketchy as anything and btw I live across the pond, had never heard of Karen Read till this trial started . I would rather see a guilty person walk free that have an innocent person in prison. This case was fixed right from that first meeting at the Alberts house in the early am, and then Proctor was given his marching orders at the McCabe house later that day IMHO. Many others I believe were sucked in with incorrect information, and then the were between a rock & a hard place once they realised they had been duped. That coupled with the use of under qualified or inexperienced "specialists". All compounded by Lally and his 101 dalmatian witnesses to tell us it was snowing and defending the McAlberts and dragging it on and on, to the point where jury attrition was inevitable. This was never about getting justice for "the man in the snow" and was all about pinning it on "the girl". There will never be justice for OJO, because this investigation was rigged to make sure of that. I just wonder how Paul O'Keefe will feel in later years when he realises that and once the McAlberts have dumped him like a bag of trash once they no longer feel in legal jeopardy.

The defense was correct. The juror form caused confusion. Then the judge dropped the ball by not questioning the jurors. All cases in which that form was used should be investigated.
This is the standard form in MA , she adjusted it for defense asked them for approval, you would have to change the form not sure how that would changed , but it had not guilty they could check
She asked yanetti if he's seen this before and he said no. Apoarently its only in her court and she is unaware. Yanetti iz a Boston lawyer.@sistersquad1843
The two crash experts got up on the stand and she twirled her glasses, scowled at them, and showed them supreme disrespect. This murder of a cop by his own group, coverup, paper loss, illicit prosecution, inadequate CW crash expert, and lying witnesses lead to a Constitution hanging by a thread. John and Karen are separate from this world-wide-catastrophe.
Thats my question, Shouldn't Bev have asked the jurors if they were able to come to any decition on Any of the Charges, She Dis missed them so Quikly..
This case is divisive because people get angry when there’s obvious corruption and innocent people are harmed. Massachusetts FBI- it looks like it’s up to you to do the right thing and investigate. Please FBI get some brass balls and do something about this corruption.
The FBI may have a field office in locations around Massachusetts, but it is not a Massachusetts agency. It is a federal organization and is part of the Department of Justice.
He also drove an official vehicle while drinking with Kevin Albert- the latter misplaced his badge and gun in said vehicle. I hope both will be held accountable for those actions as well.
So glad Proctor was suspended WITHOUT pay. He said some extremely awful, unprofessional things and the Commonwealth needs to send a clear msg, they do not support that. No sympathy whatsoever for Proctor & his family. There's consequences for your actions.
Too bad the commonwealth knew of the messages well before the trial and suppressed it, and waited..... which I feel was a chess move so it didn't hurt the trial so as SOON as the trial was over they said "after what has come out in trial " 🤮 no respect from me or feel it's a genuine sending a message.
Have all the respect and support for the blue but… the police union publicly supporting proctor after his suspension without pay… is unconscionable and is the kind of position that actually undermines (even further) the Canton community’s trust in the integrity of its own police department. Their support in the face of everything we’ve heard from proctor’s own mouth…an implies the police union feels this is acceptable behavior. Proctor is NOT what the community or, one would hope, the police department, the police union… want on the force and he should be fired… full stop. Efforts to claim this is a hardship on his kids are just cover for another of Proctor’s many attempts to shirk responsibility and displace blame. PROCTOR should’ve given thought a long time ago to what would happen to his kids if he lost his job over his many unethical, unprofessional, immoral, illegal, trashy “lapses in judgement”… that’s called listening to your conscience. Jackson was right about him… “shame on you”… and that SHOULD be on the record.
@@bethmccrae2714 honestly? The way she carries herself as if she doesn’t even want to be doing her job. Everything seems to bother her. I wouldn’t want a judge like that, would you? Especially when there’s obvious bias. I’m not saying she was in on a conspiracy etc, but she had an attitude problem towards one side more than the other. Maybe she’s got a chip on her shoulder, or just has a back story with Read’s lawyers in the past.. idk. BUT there is zero excuse for her lack of professionalism. For ME that’s crooked. The last two trials I watched were this one and the Daybell case. Which judge would you rather have if you were being accused of something? Right. There should be a standard of conduct for such an important job where ppl’s lives are on the line. She dropped the ball there at a minimum… So crooked in my book. It only takes a person with any sense to see that just by comparison
It appears so to me, in Midwest, knowing only what presented at trial...and this secret signal objection that several lawyer streaming trial, would say leading, then what? Nothing wrong with that question...plus her behavior declared mistrial...poor Mass folks you may draw her as judge Your guilty the day you arrive in court
@bethmccrae2714 this person is just quoting what Paul o’keefe said, how is that attacking when you’re literally just REPEATING what a person said. While it’s sad his brother got murdered, it doesn’t make it right to go after an innocent person. Karen is not likeable, but she has been proven innocent. By your logic, no one should be attacking Karen read. She lost her partner of many years. Who has lied about the family???
I live in a small town-- threats are Real, whether by overt harassment or denial of licenses, slander of business, zoning variances, judicial 'favors', etc. Nepotism and favoritism are powerful pressures in a small community.
I used to watch STS but this channel is so much better! Less inane chitchat and more legal expertise and talking the audience through it all. EXCELLENT channel
Sts lost me the other day when a guest said something along the lines of ‘the CW should forget the evidence and prosecute KR on vehicular manslaughter’. This went completely unchallenged by the hosts or the other guests because they all agreed she had been overcharged…
The people of MA are sick of the police corruption thats been happening for years. Not only in the case but ie: Sandra Birchmore. Doing favors for their friends or cops. He was driving drunk w kevin Albert in his cruiser & albert loosing his bad n gun and Proctor drops them off in his mailbox. Disgusting to say the least!
Just spit balling here all while admitting over the years I've become highly skeptical of the elected, police departments and government in general. This judge appeared to show animosity toward the defense from the get-go and common sense tells me she knows well and probably likes the police in that area, and this observation has had me believing she herself could not be truly unbiased. As for her findings, I believe it fair to ask if she's wanting to seal the jurors names could also be because she doesn't want people hearing opinions from jurors leaning favorable to Read.
And you have to wonder if she told them they couldn't/shouldn't talk to media in her private meeting after the mistrial was declared. I only wonder because we usually see at least a few jurors immediately speak to media after a trial. And we have seen NOTHING.
If it was to protect the Jurors then appropriate. But, Bev seems to be looking out more for the Prosecution and herself throughout this whole thing so I have doubts this is for anyone but herself.
We wont know if it changes because she shut down any polling. She just quickly called a mistrial and caused all of this drama. This mess is the judges fault. This order is to stop Jacksons filing. God she is so frustrating. Should have recused herself when they asked.
I dont think their names should made public but their should be an investigation into this because to me It will look like the judge is trying to hide and save her own skin.
Why would any judge want a do over in this case??? For the jury to be treated like this by the judge is not right. I bet that jury is upset and disenchanted with legal system all the way around. This corruption by police and disrespect of jury by judge is not going to die down. This debacle will bring a good house cleaning to the Justice system in Canton…hopefully the country.
They were clearly confused. But that letter was very well written. Said they were set in their feelings etc didn't seem to imply anything like that defense motion is claiming.
@@bethmccrae2714 that's not true juror told the defense that they agreed on not guilty count 1 and 3 read the motion. Also the conversation in the chats say the same thing. There needs to be an investigation
I don’t usually follow trials so maybe i’m naive, but couldnt the jury foreman have reported that they are deadlocked on the second charge and that they found her not guilty on the other two?
I support what the judge did. The jury needs to be protected. As a former juror, the stress of participating in a trial can be overwhelming. They don’t need to be pressured or intimidated by random people. Serving on jury shouldn’t end up with you being fearful of your safety. The vitriol I’ve read on the internet involving this case has been overwhelming. I really think people need to take a deep breath & relax. The people who testified in the trial should be left alone as well along with the family. I read how the people are going after the family now. Everyone needs to calm down and let the legal process proceed.
I believe the jurors' names should be sealed for their protection. If a juror chooses to speak, that should be up to them, as long as there is disclaimer that they can't share other jurors' names.
Hmm! Meanwhile, a former president is allowing his minions to leak addresses and personal details of jurors. Bad precedents are being set and people have no idea how he/they will change the law
I never thought they should have protestors on either side to much since the attnys coming out on Karen Reed side spoke with them and Karen everyday, i feel would tarnish the jury, or if prosecution did it as well which i did not see
I hear you and completely agree with you. That intimidation is wrong. But the person that was with charged with intimidation it was such a farce. It’s unbelievable. It’s just more of the same stuff with these people the Mc Alberts
Hell no. I saw some of the videos. Turtleboy was stalking them, harassing them. If he wanted them to lose it with him…they didn’t. Mostly ignoring him. Dunno if I could. Why would he feel the right to do that? He shouldn’t be allowed to.
I understand that emotions run high, but people deserve to be save and secure in their homes and when asked to sit on a jury should be able to expect it. Sad some people take things too far 😢
Thank you. Love your information. I agree Nobody should be threatened, especially at their home. But I think Brian, Collin and Jen showing up on last day in court, staring down the Jury was Intimidating! They had No business being there!
I really enjoy watching you with your dad! I love family moments, my growing up really was bad and I made sure my kids had good family time. Family is still important to me in my old age.
This case situation is so crazy. People going after jurors is next level bad. People across the nation are picking sides. And, getting very entrenched in their view. I hope they drop the charges and let her have her life back.
He messed everything, reports chain od custody, missing videos, etc. He also confessed on the texts to drive the patrol while drunken. Kevin Alberts also should be suspended.
I feel Proctor must lose his job. He is clearly unfit for the role he has. From what was revealed in court others should also be investigated with a view to terminating their employment also.
I feel it's possible that the "guests" ,sitting with the O'Keef family sitting there staring down the jury, should be considered "jury intimidation" essentially telling them to get at least one charge of guilty.
I don't think he or the protesters helped keep the jurors protected. There are maniacs out there, especially journalists, that would harass the jurors if they could.
@@Somegirl811 Hyperbolic statements dont make you appear credible. Independent journalists are not maniacs. If they were they wouldnt be respected or followed. They are truth tellers and that is what deceitful people hate.
Jury names should be protected! I do also think it’s time for them to tell someone what happened in deliberations. Both sides should have info to move on in case. They could do it anonymously.
I think a retrial needs to be done in a different venue. Too much has happened in this community to find a jury that are not influenced or would feel safe. I also feel a different judge is needed.
I don't know if she did the right thing for sealing the names but I do know she's not doing an investigation and I think that is absolutely wrong. It was her duty to get a count on what the verdict was when they were on the impasse and she didn't do it. Karen Reed was found NG on two counts of that verdict form 12-0 that's a verdict on two counts. The verdict form was so confusing even the jurors said so.
@@bethmccrae2714yes, one of the jurors directly contacted Alan Jackson, and the identity was confirmed. No one illegally contacted a juror, everyone knows this, Try to keep up…🙄
Wouldn’t it have been nice if the judge would’ve used immediate and straightforward language on the charges putting by every question guilty or not guilty regardless on one two or three because they’re more than one question and each question should’ve had its own answer. There would’ve been no confusion if she would’ve done her job.
Intimidation like marching all the individuals involved with the case in to stare at the jury the day jury instructions were given? The deceased's brother making a threat to Karen Read?
Absolutely! There would be no other reason for scumbag Albert to be there during closing statements but to glare at the jury and remember their faces! Having heard how low these goons will go, I feel for these jurors
Thanks for helping people understand the legal processes and how things are very different in different states. I learn so much from you and your father.
I wonder how Proctor feels about his wife's gift now that this "over" has come to pass. This fool ruined his life/career/family for power of duty. What a shame!
One of the most disturbing things about Michael Proctor is that he made those file, awful remarks on his phone to one of his superiors, and the superior evidently went along with it.
This has been one of the most significant discussions I have heard about public responsibility and accountability when it comes to negatively influencing the process of justice. In general, there definitely needs to be more awareness about the potential for negative impact we can ignite by our comments on social media.
Better yet, three check boxes. Guilty, Not Guilty, or Not Sure. In case the jurors forget that doubt equals not guilty - the court can group all the Not Sure answers with the Not Guilty's. And no, they were not straight-forward. Not all of them. And we have no reason to believe that they were completed and signed, or that the judge reviewed them before calling the mistrial.
This isn't TOO unusual in big, public trials. Nobody wants the jurors harassed or disturbed afterward. I KNOW it adds fuel to the fire on the subject of Cannone's POSSIBLE misconduct, but in and of itself it's not NEARLY the "red flag" that MANY of her other words and actions are. I served as Lead Defense Counsel or Lead Prosecutor in over 100 Jury Trials for Murder. I was #2 in about 150 more. I AGREE that Cannone did quite a few things she shouldn't have. Further investigation will determine, we hope, whether or not her actions amounted to Judicial Misconduct. So. Let's see what happens. The fallout from the Karen Read Case is FAR from over. Nor is the FBI investigation into numerous individuals, state & local law enforcement agencies, District Attorneys' Offices, and probably some members of the Judiciary in Eastern Massachusetts. It's ongoing. Based on my own extensive experience, I'm 99% certain that at least one of the people who were in the Albert house when John was murdered has already run to the US Attorney, cut a deal, and has spilled the beans about EVERYTHING he/ she knows.
Agree. Someone definitely knows something… simply impossible that NO ONE saw or heard anything. I hope it comes to light and justice is served for Officer John O’Keefe.
The ONLY reason Proctor got suspended was because of the National attention this case received...
There is NO WAY this was the first time he acted like that... he texted those things to his supervisor ffs... this doesn't happen over night it's a deeply rooted issue 💯
Hell he wouldnt be suspended if Lally lost. Karen had to be found guilty on something. Its a case everybody is covering their asses.
💯 That's exactly what I think other wise they would have done it ages ago not after the case aired, they knew about all his wrong doing along time ago
i worry he’ll be reinstated when media attention moves on

The defense was correct. The juror form caused confusion. Then the judge dropped the ball by not questioning the jurors. All cases in which that form was used should be investigated.
This is the standard form in MA , she adjusted it for defense asked them for approval, you would have to change the form not sure how that would changed , but it had not guilty they could check

I feel so sorry for the future innocent clients. If I got Bev as the judge, I'd be worried. #Corrupt
Or the police as a witnesses.
The two crash experts got up on the stand and she twirled her glasses, scowled at them, and showed them supreme disrespect. This murder of a cop by his own group, coverup, paper loss, illicit prosecution, inadequate CW crash expert, and lying witnesses lead to a Constitution hanging by a thread. John and Karen are separate from this world-wide-catastrophe.
Bev did not decide the case. The jury did.
@@debramason7237 Did they? Jury A person said that counts 1 and 3 were found not guilty by the jury. Did Bevvy Blondie follow through on this?

No one should be interfering with any case… Including but not limited to witness intimidation. No one should be harassing anyone period.
The only reason Bev ordered that is because it will show her corruption claiming mistrial instead of questioning the jury about each charge
Thats my question, Shouldn't Bev have asked the jurors if they were able to come to any decition on Any of the Charges, She Dis missed them so Quikly..

This case is divisive because people get angry when there’s obvious corruption and innocent people are harmed.
Massachusetts FBI- it looks like it’s up to you to do the right thing and investigate. Please FBI get some brass balls and do something about this corruption.

Totally agree! 👍🏻
The FBI may have a field office in locations around Massachusetts, but it is not a Massachusetts agency. It is a federal organization and is part of the Department of Justice.
He also drove an official vehicle while drinking with Kevin Albert- the latter misplaced his badge and gun in said vehicle. I hope both will be held accountable for those actions as well.

@amiek9269 genuine question, who said that I think I missed that bit I'm only following the case on Peter's channel as I'm in the UK
As EDB says, absolutely do not go real world on these people. There is no excuse.
So glad Proctor was suspended WITHOUT pay. He said some extremely awful, unprofessional things and the Commonwealth needs to send a clear msg, they do not support that. No sympathy whatsoever for Proctor & his family. There's consequences for your actions.
I’m worried that when this case leaves the news cycle and no one has eyes on MSPD, he’ll be back with his $100,000 salary.
Too bad the commonwealth knew of the messages well before the trial and suppressed it, and waited..... which I feel was a chess move so it didn't hurt the trial so as SOON as the trial was over they said "after what has come out in trial " 🤮 no respect from me or feel it's a genuine sending a message.
@@jelef001Proctor will be fired and there will always be people watching to see what the MSP does with regards to him. No chance he's reinstated imo
@@leannabedore Absolutely no Respect!
Have all the respect and support for the blue but… the police union publicly supporting proctor after his suspension without pay… is unconscionable and is the kind of position that actually undermines (even further) the Canton community’s trust in the integrity of its own police department. Their support in the face of everything we’ve heard from proctor’s own mouth…an implies the police union feels this is acceptable behavior. Proctor is NOT what the community or, one would hope, the police department, the police union… want on the force and he should be fired… full stop. Efforts to claim this is a hardship on his kids are just cover for another of Proctor’s many attempts to shirk responsibility and displace blame. PROCTOR should’ve given thought a long time ago to what would happen to his kids if he lost his job over his many unethical, unprofessional, immoral, illegal, trashy “lapses in judgement”… that’s called listening to your conscience. Jackson was right about him… “shame on you”… and that SHOULD be on the record.
Auntie Bev is as CROOKED as they come
What factual basis supports your claims?
@@bethmccrae2714haters some need proof. They just slander.
Agreed. She is SHADY. She hates Karen Read and wants to lick her up and will do anything to achieve it.
@@bethmccrae2714 honestly? The way she carries herself as if she doesn’t even want to be doing her job. Everything seems to bother her. I wouldn’t want a judge like that, would you? Especially when there’s obvious bias. I’m not saying she was in on a conspiracy etc, but she had an attitude problem towards one side more than the other. Maybe she’s got a chip on her shoulder, or just has a back story with Read’s lawyers in the past.. idk. BUT there is zero excuse for her lack of professionalism.
For ME that’s crooked. The last two trials I watched were this one and the Daybell case. Which judge would you rather have if you were being accused of something? Right. There should be a standard of conduct for such an important job where ppl’s lives are on the line. She dropped the ball there at a minimum… So crooked in my book. It only takes a person with any sense to see that just by comparison
It appears so to me, in Midwest, knowing only what presented at trial...and this secret signal objection that several lawyer streaming trial, would say leading, then what? Nothing wrong with that question...plus her behavior declared mistrial...poor Mass folks you may draw her as judge
Your guilty the day you arrive in court
This is one of the reasons I like Peter. We can seek and find justice the right way.
She's protecting her own ASSets...

@bethmccrae2714 this person is just quoting what Paul o’keefe said, how is that attacking when you’re literally just REPEATING what a person said. While it’s sad his brother got murdered, it doesn’t make it right to go after an innocent person. Karen is not likeable, but she has been proven innocent. By your logic, no one should be attacking Karen read. She lost her partner of many years. Who has lied about the family???

Why is Proctor the only one with his head on the chopping block. The other troopers were just as compliant not confronting his actions.
Exactly and some of them were his direct superiors.
I live in a small town-- threats are Real, whether by overt harassment or denial of licenses, slander of business, zoning variances, judicial 'favors', etc. Nepotism and favoritism are powerful pressures in a small community.
What a mess! The jurors need to be protected at all costs.
I used to watch STS but this channel is so much better! Less inane chitchat and more legal expertise and talking the audience through it all. EXCELLENT channel
STS does my nut in. He thinks the show is about him. So annoyingn
Sts lost me the other day when a guest said something along the lines of ‘the CW should forget the evidence and prosecute KR on vehicular manslaughter’. This went completely unchallenged by the hosts or the other guests because they all agreed she had been overcharged…
The people of MA are sick of the police corruption thats been happening for years. Not only in the case but ie: Sandra Birchmore. Doing favors for their friends or cops. He was driving drunk w kevin Albert in his cruiser & albert loosing his bad n gun and Proctor drops them off in his mailbox. Disgusting to say the least!
Just spit balling here all while admitting over the years I've become highly skeptical of the elected, police departments and government in general. This judge appeared to show animosity toward the defense from the get-go and common sense tells me she knows well and probably likes the police in that area, and this observation has had me believing she herself could not be truly unbiased. As for her findings, I believe it fair to ask if she's wanting to seal the jurors names could also be because she doesn't want people hearing opinions from jurors leaning favorable to Read.
And you have to wonder if she told them they couldn't/shouldn't talk to media in her private meeting after the mistrial was declared. I only wonder because we usually see at least a few jurors immediately speak to media after a trial. And we have seen NOTHING.
shes letting the jury know shes protecting them , in return she expects them to keep their mouths shut no doubt
If it was to protect the Jurors then appropriate. But, Bev seems to be looking out more for the Prosecution and herself throughout this whole thing so I have doubts this is for anyone but herself.
We wont know if it changes because she shut down any polling. She just quickly called a mistrial and caused all of this drama. This mess is the judges fault. This order is to stop Jacksons filing. God she is so frustrating. Should have recused herself when they asked.
I dont think their names should made public but their should be an investigation into this because to me It will look like the judge is trying to hide and save her own skin.
I think they the right to make it their own decision
She is
Why would any judge want a do over in this case???
For the jury to be treated like this by the judge is not right.
I bet that jury is upset and disenchanted with legal system all the way around.
This corruption by police and disrespect of jury by judge is not going to die down.
This debacle will bring a good house cleaning to the Justice system in Canton…hopefully the country.
I think the FBI should be looking into aunt Bev
I believe the judge made a wrong decision she should have let them enter their verdicts on the two counts
They were clearly confused. But that letter was very well written. Said they were set in their feelings etc didn't seem to imply anything like that defense motion is claiming.
The jury never agreed on any counts
@@bethmccrae2714 that's not true juror told the defense that they agreed on not guilty count 1 and 3 read the motion. Also the conversation in the chats say the same thing. There needs to be an investigation
@@bethmccrae2714did you witness deliberations?
I don’t usually follow trials so maybe i’m naive, but couldnt the jury foreman have reported that they are deadlocked on the second charge and that they found her not guilty on the other two?
It seems jurists want to speak. 3 have reached out to Defense and revealed themselves. Others might do the same. Bev can't stop them
“Revealed themselves!” 😂I see what you did there! Just like all those taillights pieces revealed themselves over several days!
I support what the judge did. The jury needs to be protected. As a former juror, the stress of participating in a trial can be overwhelming. They don’t need to be pressured or intimidated by random people. Serving on jury shouldn’t end up with you being fearful of your safety. The vitriol I’ve read on the internet involving this case has been overwhelming. I really think people need to take a deep breath & relax. The people who testified in the trial should be left alone as well along with the family. I read how the people are going after the family now. Everyone needs to calm down and let the legal process proceed.
I believe the jurors' names should be sealed for their protection. If a juror chooses to speak, that should be up to them, as long as there is disclaimer that they can't share other jurors' names.
I love any and all content from TLYK. It can be live. It can be pre-recorded. Just keep it coming. I learn so much! Thank you!!
First and foremost the jury should be protected. If they are not, it could severely impact our justice system going forward.
That should already be happening, why wouldn't the government give extra protections to jurors for high profile cases?

I never thought they should have protestors on either side to much since the attnys coming out on Karen Reed side spoke with them and Karen everyday, i feel would tarnish the jury, or if prosecution did it as well which i did not see
I'm not on twitter I think I will steer clear sounds awful
Which CORRUPT COP will take a PLEA DEAL???
I hear you and completely agree with you. That intimidation is wrong. But the person that was with charged with intimidation it was such a farce. It’s unbelievable. It’s just more of the same stuff with these people the Mc Alberts
Hell no. I saw some of the videos. Turtleboy was stalking them, harassing them. If he wanted them to lose it with him…they didn’t. Mostly ignoring him. Dunno if I could. Why would he feel the right to do that? He shouldn’t be allowed to.
Ohhh good a venue change would be great!
I understand that emotions run high, but people deserve to be save and secure in their homes and when asked to sit on a jury should be able to expect it. Sad some people take things too far 😢
True, but more likely the judge was protecting her decisions from scrutiny rather than truly protecting the jurors.
I live right outside Canton, Ma and you’d be surprised how many people still don’t know about the case…
Thank you. Love your information. I agree Nobody should be threatened, especially at their home. But I think Brian, Collin and Jen showing up on last day in court, staring down the Jury was Intimidating! They had No business being there!
It looked to me as though they weren’t scared of TB who was standing with other Press right behind them.
Bully tactics
You are right on. Internal Affairs is separate and not in cahoots.
If there is a new trial we need an outside judge.
Drop all charges
Thank you Peter. Appreciate all you have been doing to help clarify information in this case.
I really enjoy watching you with your dad! I love family moments, my growing up really was bad and I made sure my kids had good family time. Family is still important to me in my old age.
This case situation is so crazy. People going after jurors is next level bad. People across the nation are picking sides. And, getting very entrenched in their view. I hope they drop the charges and let her have her life back.
They don't suspend cops without pay unless he really did some really bad things and get fired
I appreciated your fair coverage tonight thank you Peter
He messed everything, reports chain od custody, missing videos, etc. He also confessed on the texts to drive the patrol while drunken. Kevin Alberts also should be suspended.
I feel Proctor must lose his job. He is clearly unfit for the role he has. From what was revealed in court others should also be investigated with a view to terminating their employment also.
The highest need to be dealt with first
Pre-recorded is OK with me, Peter! I’m typically part of the replay crew 😊 thanks for the coverage
I feel it's possible that the "guests" ,sitting with the O'Keef family sitting there staring down the jury, should be considered "jury intimidation" essentially telling them to get at least one charge of guilty.
If it wasn’t for turtle boy doing “witness intimidation” none of this would be out in the open
🐢
I don't think he or the protesters helped keep the jurors protected. There are maniacs out there, especially journalists, that would harass the jurors if they could.
@@Somegirl811 the jury said The Alberts being in the court room was intimidation
@@Somegirl811 Hyperbolic statements dont make you appear credible. Independent journalists are not maniacs. If they were they wouldnt be respected or followed. They are truth tellers and that is what deceitful people hate.
Jury said they were intimidated by the appearance of “Higgin”( Brain Albert?) in verdict day. Does any juror mention TB is intimidated to them?
Jury names should be protected! I do also think it’s time for them to tell someone what happened in deliberations. Both sides should have info to move on in case. They could do it anonymously.
They've already said 2 counts were unanimously not guilty
They just couldn’t agree on the manslaughter charge. There were three charges and they all agreed to two of the three charges.
There should be no other trial period.
It's over...dismiss the charges!!
Peter always explains the law so well that everyone can understand the law
I hope the jurors are protected.

I don't know if she did the right thing for sealing the names but I do know she's not doing an investigation and I think that is absolutely wrong. It was her duty to get a count on what the verdict was when they were on the impasse and she didn't do it. Karen Reed was found NG on two counts of that verdict form 12-0 that's a verdict on two counts. The verdict form was so confusing even the jurors said so.
And as per Twitter she DIRECTED them not to complete unless unanimous, which was error as I understand it.
@@brendas6461that's absolutely terrible. There needs to be an investigation and she can't stop it if they appeal
No juror has said that. Are you illegally contacting jurors?

I have just one thing to say: inverted sallyport video.
i wouldnt want my detsils made public if I were on ANY jury. ever.
Wouldn’t it have been nice if the judge would’ve used immediate and straightforward language on the charges putting by every question guilty or not guilty regardless on one two or three because they’re more than one question and each question should’ve had its own answer. There would’ve been no confusion if she would’ve done her job.
The important thing too is we need for future prospective jurors to know they will be protected.
Intimidation like marching all the individuals involved with the case in to stare at the jury the day jury instructions were given? The deceased's brother making a threat to Karen Read?
EXACTLY!
Absolutely! There would be no other reason for scumbag Albert to be there during closing statements but to glare at the jury and remember their faces! Having heard how low these goons will go, I feel for these jurors

I wonder how Proctor feels about his wife's gift now that this "over" has come to pass. This fool ruined his life/career/family for power of duty. What a shame!
One of the most disturbing things about Michael Proctor is that he made those file, awful remarks on his phone to one of his superiors, and the superior evidently went along with it.
What do you think they talk about people of color
What happened to Higgins for using official equipment and personnel for personal purposes?
This has been one of the most significant discussions I have heard about public responsibility and accountability when it comes to negatively influencing the process of justice. In general, there definitely needs to be more awareness about the potential for negative impact we can ignite by our comments on social media.
You are so very nice to do all these cases for us
Peter is a high quality dude.
Should stay away from jury!
Why was the jury sheet so confusing? Write the 3 charges, each with a guilty / not guilty checkbox...
Look at the jury verdict sheets. That is exactly what they say
Better yet, three check boxes. Guilty, Not Guilty, or Not Sure. In case the jurors forget that doubt equals not guilty - the court can group all the Not Sure answers with the Not Guilty's.
And no, they were not straight-forward. Not all of them. And we have no reason to believe that they were completed and signed, or that the judge reviewed them before calling the mistrial.
I'm Scottish and appreciate your knowledgeable investigations. Thank you 😊
Proctor will find out who his friends are. Let’s see who protects him. I doubt any prosecutor’s witnesses will rally for him.
Hopefully he'll be so pissed at being brought into the whole scenario he'll start talking
Great job, Peter, thank you! 👍🏽
This isn't TOO unusual in big, public trials. Nobody wants the jurors harassed or disturbed afterward.
I KNOW it adds fuel to the fire on the subject of Cannone's POSSIBLE misconduct, but in and of itself it's not NEARLY the "red flag" that MANY of her other words and actions are.
I served as Lead Defense Counsel or Lead Prosecutor in over 100 Jury Trials for Murder. I was #2 in about 150 more.
I AGREE that Cannone did quite a few things she shouldn't have. Further investigation will determine, we hope, whether or not her actions amounted to Judicial Misconduct.
So. Let's see what happens. The fallout from the Karen Read Case is FAR from over. Nor is the FBI investigation into numerous individuals, state & local law enforcement agencies, District Attorneys' Offices, and probably some members of the Judiciary in Eastern Massachusetts. It's ongoing.
Based on my own extensive experience, I'm 99% certain that at least one of the people who were in the Albert house when John was murdered has already run to the US Attorney, cut a deal, and has spilled the beans about EVERYTHING he/ she knows.
Agree. Someone definitely knows something… simply impossible that NO ONE saw or heard anything. I hope it comes to light and justice is served for Officer John O’Keefe.
I think she's sealing their names because they are going to call them back for a jury inquiry. Just a guess.
I kept saying early I thought the first trial should have had a change of venue.. 100% the 2nd
Will Procter be allowed to testify at the retrial?
