Overview

• Jurors said significant procedural gaps and conflicting evidence, including taillight footage and delayed forensic tests, left the prosecution unable to prove Read struck Officer John O’Keefe.
• Juror Jason told TMZ he believes Read did not hit O’Keefe with her SUV, and juror Paula Prado cited unexplained injuries that she thinks point to an incident inside the party house.
• Lead investigator Michael Proctor is appealing his dismissal after a State Police trial board found he sent crude, defamatory texts about Read and mishandled sensitive evidence.
• Colonel Geoffrey Noble announced new statewide measures for investigative training, oversight and accountability in response to errors uncovered during the case.
• O’Keefe’s family has filed a civil wrongful-death lawsuit against Read, a claim that can move forward now that her criminal trials have concluded.
