Defense Attorney Claims 'No Evidence' in Karen Read Trial, Motions for Not Guilty Verdict

The Karen Read trial took another turn today as defense attorney Alan Jackson made a motion for a not-guilty verdict. The motion hinges on the claim that the prosecution lacks sufficient evidence to prove a collision occurred on January 29, 2022, at 34 Fairview in Canton, MA. "There is no evidence," Jackson stated during his passionate courtroom address. He pointed to the absence of eyewitness accounts, video, or audio evidence corroborating the alleged collision. Furthermore, Jackson highlighted inconsistencies in expert testimony, noting that even the prosecution's own expert witness found no injuries on John O'Keefe's body that were consistent with a vehicle strike. The defense's strategy appears to be to cast doubt on the prosecution's case by emphasizing the lack of concrete evidence. The outcome of the motion remains to be seen, but it will undoubtedly shape the direction of the trial.
