    the case was not complicated at all. 2 FBI witnesses testified that he was not killed by a car.
  • Don't forget the federal investigation against the prosecution and witnesses
  • The jurors were suppose to follow the EVIDENCE! Not go off their emotions period!
  • @song9119
    It would be a waste of time to retry. They won’t get a conviction in this tainted case
  • @Pink_143_6
    Morrisey didn’t jump the gun. He leaped to shout out retrial faster than the speed of sound. Im disgusted with the Norfolk County DA. I’m hoping the federal investigation once it concludes , is the game changer that acquitts Karen Read.
  • There's no explanation possible about the jury members who were on the guilty side, except that they were strongly biased to the police community or against KR, other than they were plain idiots. No sane, normal person starting in the neutral mindset could have looked at the evidence and testimonies and not see a mountain of reasonable doubt. Take away the names, genders, origins and professions of people involved and look at just the evidence, there is no proof the victim was actually hit by a car, and plenty of evidence to the contrary. I've never seen a judge try to railroad a conviction in any trial, this was a first and it was shockingly obvious. I wonder how the judge and the jury siding with guilty feels today after seeing the breaking news of Proctor being rehomed, just like the dog Chloe. Essentially, those jurors stood by a vote of confidence in the lead investigator by trusting his testimony, which to anyone with eyes was a stinky pile of BS. That the state police waited for the end of the trial to announce this is just another sign of how deep their manipulation of the community they serve is inbedded into that system. This is not a good look for the whole justice system in that state, seems they go by "guilty 'til proven innocent" there and they'll do anything to uphold that.
  • He was beat to a pulp in the house, carried to a car, and dropped in the snow by the people in the house.
  • @Breezy1702
    This investigation was so biased and botched right from the beginning. It’s not fair to Karen at all. It should be dismissed. Her rights have been violated because of the way they did this investigation.
  • @AMYV3
    They all say they will retrial. To save face. Let’s see
  • @Daniel-rq5zl
    Not complicated at all because Lexus doesn’t bite like a dog 😂
  • Hour by hour the state's case for a re-trial gets more mountainous.
  • Lally crew are so wrong is it because they know all the real guilty ones which isn't Karen Reed my opinion thanks 😊😊
  • @Newday-qx3qs
    They keep saying the public is divided but every single poll I've seen says 85 -90% say she is innocent
  • Can't go back to square 1... 😂😂😂 Can't undo this entire trial. Good luck to the prosecution finding a jury that havn't watched and seen all this. Ain't gonna happen. There isn't going to be a retrial.
  • @OzzyOzzy543
    This whole trial was a joke. Both sides asked for a continence. They had so many breaks and half days. The courtroom setup was ridiculous. How are jurors supposed to keep up.
  • @lisal2018
    LALLY GIVE IT UP, STOP WASTING TAXPAYERS MONEY.
  • @MickG-p5n
    Claim they are going to have a re-trial to save face now but they will kick it down the road and hope it will be forgotten about along with the police corruption!

    Here in the Netherlands, our law school students and professors are happy with this outcome. This case was frazzled on all sides. We don't know if she is guilty, but we also don't know if the Albert's are guilty. All because of poor investigation, bias, and many false facts.
