Karen reads retrial: first ju-seeker questions could support defense, experts say

The first set of ju-degree questions is Karen Reed The retrial could be a positive sign of her defense — experts say, as it relates to at least the most serious charges she faces.

Judge Beverly Canone read three questions in court around 11am Tuesday.

1. “What is the time frame for OUI (operating under the influence) billing? 12:45 or 5am?”
2. “Are there any video clips of evidence from Karen’s interview?”
3. “Does a conviction of sub-charge, for example Violation No. 5 convict the overall claim?”

“We’re definitely delighted with defense,” said Jack Lou, a retired Massachusetts judge and Boston University law professor.

Questions 1 and 3 are advantageous for defense, Lu told Fox News Digital, and two are “neutral.” All three are shown Ju’s ju’s review Not the best count of first-degree murder, but less charge.

New York City-based defense attorney Mark Beddelow said on behalf of his reading alliance and Canton blogger Aidan Carney would address the question if the revised ju-seekers defence motion was not rejected Monday.

Karen Reed’s defense wants a slip of a simplified verdict on a charge of intentional murder

“It appears that the judges are fully focused on the OUI based on all three questions,” he said. “This seems to be a repetition of what happened at the first trial, encapsulating the issue of count 2 slips. The confused jury appears to be innocent of all murder charges and confused with the complicated instructions on count 2’s Lessers.”

Read’s first trial ended with the judges last year, after more than 25 hours passed in four days without the ju judge reaching an agreement.

Defence counsel David Jannetti warned that the existing verdict slip “has a real possibility that it would confuse the ju judge and cause errors.” The slip shows that the ju judge can find her innocence of the charge and a series of less incriminating crimes, or they show that she can individually commit crimes with three less incriminating crimes, ranging from involuntary manslaughter to drunkenness.

Reading spoke to her drinking hours before O’Keefe’s death in a documentary interview at trial.

“The drink they poured me into McCarthy, the place I consumed most of my alcohol, was the weakest vodkatonic,” she told camera. “It tasted just like all the soda water with lime, but it doesn’t mean it needs to be a martini, but there might be a vodka splash.”

Read’s blood alcohol concentration was estimated to be around .09% when hospitalized for a mental health check following the discovery of O’Keefe’s body. At the time of his death nine hours ago, it was estimated to be quite high, but the defense claimed that she could continue drinking after she got home.

“It tells me that they focus on how alcohol played a role in this case, and that was the last ju judge, too,” said Massachusetts defense attorney Grace Edwards.
