One of the three jurors not chosen to vote on Karen Read’s guilt or innocence is speaking out about her thoughts on the trial in an interview with WBZ News. According to her she would’ve voted to acquit.

Question: How are you feeling?

Juror #3: “Exhausted. Disappointed. I was not in the room where it happens. It was a lot to sit in a quiet room for almost a week.”

Question: Did the Commonwealth meet its burden?

Juror #3: “I approached this trial as if I was taking one of my graduate-level classes. I would get an A+ in note-taking. I believe the Commonwealth did not do their job to convince me beyond a reasonable doubt that Kared Read was guilty of the charges.”

Question: Did Trooper Proctor’s testimony influence your feelings on this case?

Juror #3:  “Even if his testimony had not been included in this case, I still believe there would have not have been enough.”

It’s borderline cruel that they made the two alternates sit in a quiet room by themselves for 4 days after sitting through 31 days of testimony and becoming so involved in the case. The look of disappointment on their faces when they realized they wouldn’t be able to vote on Karen Read’s fate after being subjected to 2 months of “what if anything” was like watching your kid find out his bike was stolen.

Juror number 3 (who I will refer to as juror #13 because I counted the front row first throughout the trial, not the back row) was an educated looking woman in her early 60’s with short brown hair and glasses. She sat in a triangle with juror number #12 and #3, and the three of them would make light conversation during breaks in the trial. The three of them were by far the most obviously in favor of an acquittal. They all made faces showing their disgust when Michael Proctor read his text messages out loud. They looked baffled and shocked as Trooper Paul attempted to explain how Karen Read’s tail light caused the dog bites on John O’Keefe’s arm before causing him to do a 360 and launch 30 feet in the air before the curb caused a 3 inch laceration in the back of his head and he magically ended up 10 feet away from the curb on the grass. One of them mouthed “what?” as she shook her head.

Weeks ago juror #5 was dismissed for unknown reasons. After she was called up by Judge Cannone these same three jurors – 2, 3, and 13 – were also called to speak with Cannone. The three of them reported juror #5 for something she said that led to her disqualification. It’s unknown what exactly they heard juror 5 say.

Coincidentally these same 3 women, the most obviously not guilty votes on the jury, were all eliminated as jurors last Tuesday. First juror #3 was called in front of Cannone after she was reported for allegedly talking about the case at a bar a month prior. They waited until closing arguments to report this to the judge. She seemed very upset and denied any wrongdoing.

It’s notable that the Massachusetts State Police are in charge of juror security. This means that an employee of the same organization that Karen Read’s defense team is framing her for John O’Keefe’s murder, is in charge of deciding who gets kicked off her jury. Michael Proctor, Yuri Bukhenik, Brian Tully, and Joseph Paul could all see the facial reactions of jurors as they testified. Coincidentally it took a full month for a juror, who made it obvious that she was disgusted by them, to be “reported” to State Police and removed as a juror. It’s unknown to everyone, including the juror herself, who “reported” her to State Police.

After closing statements that day a lottery was held to determine which two of the remaining 14 jurors would be alternates. Coincidentally Clerk Jim McDermott drew the numbers for juror 13 and then juror 12. Juror 12 was seen crying when she came into court the next day. McDermott did not show anyone the numbers, including the Read defense team who asked to see them later on.

The statistical odds of the 3 most obvious not guilty jurors, who are the exact 3 who reported another juror for misconduct, being the 3 that were eliminated from a pool of 15, is 455 to 1 (15/3 x 14/2 x 13/1). These odds are slightly better than the odds of two men butt dialing and butt answering each other while one was sleeping and the other was making love to his wife at 2:22 AM, so of course the court didn’t find it odd. Statistical improbabilities happen all the time in the Karen Read case, but you’re the conspiracy theorist if you think a coverup is possible.

We don’t know what the vote count was on the jury, and the list of jurors will not be made public since it was a mistrial. If any jurors would like to speak with me about their experiences they can DM me on Twitter or Facebook, or email [email protected]. If anyone knows more about the jurors they are invited to do the same. All sources are confidential. I am not looking to dox anyone, but as a journalist I would like to learn more about what went on behind the scenes at the most highly anticipated murder trial in the country.
