Karen Read Lawyer Slams Prosecutors After Acquittal

News summary

After Karen Read's acquittal on charges related to the death of Boston police officer John O’Keefe, her defense attorney Alan Jackson strongly criticized special prosecutor Hank Brennan and Norfolk County District Attorney Michael Morrissey. Jackson accused Brennan of breaching prosecutorial ethics by trying to shame and discredit the jury, undermining trust in the justice system. He alleged that the prosecution pursued a personal vendetta and ignored hidden exculpatory evidence, witness perjury, and corruption within law enforcement. Brennan expressed disappointment with the verdict, maintaining that his independent review found no plausible suspect other than Read. Multiple jurors said there was insufficient evidence to convict Read of murder, though she was found guilty of operating under the influence. Jackson argued the case highlights a systemic failure in the Commonwealth’s pursuit of justice.
