Karen Read Jury Foreman Appeals to FBI to Reopen the Murder Investigation
- On Tuesday, the lead juror from Karen Read’s second trial for murder made a public appeal for the FBI to resume investigating John O’Keefe’s death in Canton, Massachusetts.
- This call follows Read's acquittal of the most serious charges after a lengthy trial and jurors citing gaps and what the foreman described as lazy police work in the local investigation.
- Jurors highlighted that the evidence, including witness accounts and an autopsy indicating O'Keefe's death involved both physical injuries and exposure to cold, did not establish that Read struck him with her SUV or was responsible for his death.
- The foreman expressed that now that Karen Read has been cleared as a suspect by the FBI, it is clear that an incident occurred, a view shared by several jurors, and urged federal investigators to thoroughly reopen the case to seek justice for John O'Keefe.
- The foreman’s appeal suggests that reopening the case could bring peace to O'Keefe's family, as unresolved questions remain after the trial and original inquiry.
