According to multiple sources within the Boston Police Department, Officer Kelly Dever resigned this afternoon, months after she made national headlines with her combative, implausible testimony in the Karen Read murder trial. Our sources report that she walked into the Jamaica Plain Police District and handed in her badge and gun, which is not the normal way officers resign. As of now she is still listed on the POST Commission’s website.
We are awaiting official confirmation from BPD, but this has been reported to me by 2 sources.
Last month Attorney Alan Jackson wrote a letter to BPD Commissioner Michael Cox, demanding that she be put on the Brady List, as a result of her testimony that she had a “false memory” when she told FBI agents that she saw Ken Berkowitz and Brian Higgins alone with Karen Read’s vehicle in the Sallyport garage on January 29:
“It is clear, therefore, that one of two things is true: Either Officer Dever lied about having a false memory, or she actually suffers from a condition that subjects her to false memories. In either case, her credibility and reliability as a law enforcement officer are irreparably compromised,” Jackson wrote in his letter.
“If she lied under oath, Officer Dever is guilty of perjury. If she truly suffers from false memories, she is unfit to serve as a police officer. Her reports, statements, and testimony can no longer be presumed accurate, and any case—current or prior— involving Officer Dever must be reviewed accordingly,” Jackson added.
“Failure to disclose Officer Dever’s intentionally false testimony and/or her false memory condition would be a constitutional violation, subjecting both the prosecution and the Boston Police Department to severe sanctions, the least of which is the dismissal of every case she touches,” Jackson concluded.
Dever testified that she had a meeting with Commissioner Michael Cox prior to changing her story, to discuss her impending testimony. When asked about that meeting in July Cox completely denied discussing the Read case with Dever, but didn’t deny inviting her up to his office. Perhaps this was a sign that he was planning on throwing her under the bus, as it was suggested at trial that he had told her to “do the right thing” prior to her testimony.
The BPD union has been noticeably silent and has made no attempts to publicly defend Dever. BPD was also noticeably absent throughout Read’s two trials, which is abnormal when a police officer is killed. Our sources report that most Boston Police Officers believe that Brian Albert and his family were involved in the murder of John O’Keefe, and did not support the prosecution of Read.
Dever is not a victim at all. If she did indeed resign as our sources are reporting, it’s because she knew that her career as a police officer was going to end soon. She likely did not feel supported on the job, as the brass she seemed to want to impress ended up throwing her under the bus. Some have suggested that she was in a tough position, but she really wasn’t. It’s not hard to not be corrupt. You can be an honest cop like Nicholas Barros, but she aspired to be Yuri Bukhenik instead. I don’t doubt for a second that Commissioner Cox called her up to his office to talk about her testimony in the Read case. She could’ve easily told the truth and Cox wouldn’t be able to do shit about it. But she’s a coward who lied to impress shitty people, and now she got exactly what she deserved. Hopefully she’s destitute and miserable. She deserves it for what she tried to do to Karen Read and John O’Keefe, in order to keep her stupid job that she reportedly no longer has.
