The Trial Of Karen Read – Defense Opening Statements
Defense attorney Alan Jackson presents the opening statements for Karen Read’s defense, challenging the prosecution’s claims and asserting that Read is the victim of a flawed and biased investigation. Jackson argues that O’Keefe’s injuries are inconsistent with being struck by a vehicle and suggests that he may have been assaulted elsewhere before being placed outside. The defense points to investigative shortcomings, including misconduct by former State Trooper Michael Proctor, and contends that the case against Read is built on reasonable doubt.
Key Topics:

  • Defense’s counter-narrative to prosecution’s claims
  • Allegations of investigative misconduct
  • Analysis of forensic evidence and injury patterns
  • Discussion on reasonable doubt and legal standards
