After an eight-week trial and days of deliberation, a jury acquitted Karen Read of the most serious charges against her in John O'Keefe's death — she was convicted only on an OUI charge, prompting a sudden cheer from the hundreds of Read's supporters outside.
On this special edition of "Canton Confidential," our experts discuss how the defense created a "relatively soft landing spot" for the jury to convict only on an OUI charge, what part of the acquitted charges prosecutors weren't able to prove, what it was like in court, possible next steps for civil cases and for policing in Massachusetts, and much more. Plus, reaction from Read's family and supporters as well as how John O'Keefe's family is dealing with the verdict.

The sides in the Karen Read murder trial have one last chance to persuade the jury, but before their closing arguments, we got a sneak peek during important preparations in court. The defense is taking a new strategy on its third-party culprit claims and made some new requests of the judge, while making a somewhat rare request for the jury to consider a lesser charge. The prosecution, meanwhile, insisted the defense experts conflicted.
Our experts, including attorney and YouTube analyst Emily D. Baker, dig into how the well-known theories involving the case may or may not come up in closing arguments, what Judge Cannone said about the jury slips and how the final days in court set the stage for deliberations.

A forensic pathologist called by Karen Read's defense was insistent that the evidence shows her SUV didn't hit John O'Keefe — and while she was prohibited from saying his arm injury was caused by a dog bite, Judge Cannone did give the defense a partial victory on the subject. Then, the defense called what's believed to be their final witness, and the ARCCA biomechanist also testified that the evidence doesn't suggest O'Keefe was hit by a vehicle.
Plus, a juror's surprise note for the judge, how the jury appears to be holding on with the end finally in sight and whether the defense will
