Karen Read juror reveals whether he believes she was fully innocent, says there were ‘a lot of holes’ in investigation


One of the jurors in the Karen Read trial said he believes she is completely “innocent” in the death of her Boston cop boyfriend John O’Keefe, but some of his fellow jurors did not initially feel the same way.

The juror, Jason, told TMZ Thursday that the jury was split between some who thought she was “definitely innocent” while others agreed there was enough reasonable doubt to acquit of the most serious charges.

A few jurors even initially thought she might be guilty of killing O’Keefe before everyone got on the same page.

But Jason said reasonable doubt never played a part in his decision. “I think that she was innocent,” he said.

She was only convicted of drunk driving and was sentenced to a year on probation even though she was facing second-degree murder and manslaughter charges.

Jason also insisted that while “there were a lot of holes in the investigation,” he isn’t sure if Read was the scapegoat in a cover-up.

Read was also found not guilty of leaving the scene of an accident.
