Did Commanding Officer Influence Key Witness in Karen Read Trial?
The Karen Read trial took another dramatic turn today as Officer Kelly Dever faced intense questioning from the defense. Attorney Alan Jackson focused on a meeting between Dever and her commanding officer, Commissioner Michael Cox, probing whether Cox influenced her testimony. Dever's responses were evasive, suggesting potential pressure. "At some point, did the commissioner say to you that Boston Police Department fully supports you?" Jackson asked. Dever responded with a hesitant "yes." When pressed further about whether Cox told her to "do the right thing," Dever stated, "I don't recall." This exchange highlights the ongoing debate surrounding the case's integrity and the potential implications of external influence on police testimony. The trial continues.
