Exclusive images: Life is advancing for all key players, except John O'Kefe's family, after a Massachusetts jury found his ex -girlfriend Karen, not guilty of all charges related to homicides in his death outside a midnight party during a snowstorm on January 29, 2022.
The niece and the nephew of O'Keefe, whom he took after his parents died, are orphaned for the second time.
Reading has a book agreement and a television series on your saga in process. But it also faces a demand for unfair death, which requires a lower standard of guilt to hold it. His civil team presented a motion to dismiss earlier this week.

An external investigation carried out by the FBI did not find alternative suspects and accusations dissipated by corruption level in the local and state police. But prosecutors and investigators who led the case face a calculation.
The Albert family, former owners of the property where he read and two other women found O'Keefe dead under a snow sheet, has just celebrated a wedding.
Jennifer McCabe, a key witness in the two READ tests and one of the women with Read that morning, is the aunt of the new girlfriend.

At the wedding, attendees participated to hire private security after Read supporters allegedly distributed the online place. The Local Police also announced its presence. A marked Suv was parked at the foot of the steps of the church.
Kerry Roberts, a friend of O'Kefe who was also present with McCabe and read when they found his body, told Fox News Digital that he is among the witnesses who face an ongoing harassment campaign, along with the Alberts, the McCabes and the immediate family of O'Kefe.

“I don't know why Jen McCabe a villain are doing,” he said in a telephone interview. “All he did was answer the same phone call I made. Karen called her. He didn't call Karen. It's so stupid and strange.”
Karen Read Murder Trial: The niece reveals a 'frantic' behavior in Boston's morning officer was found dead
The victim's mother, Peggy O'Keefe, is dealing with her own harassment, including a woman who is seen dancing on video at the foot of her entrance path after the absolution of Read.
Roberts said that the Norfolk district prosecutor's office told him to stop contacting his witness defender after trial, even when strangers continue to throw things home, they call his family's “murderers” of his family in the supermarket and make fun of his children.
“We put our A-are at play for three and a half years, two tests, to help the Massachusetts state, and will not help us when we harassed ourselves?” She said. “It is not worth putting my family ever, and not being protected at all. He is sick. He is absolutely sick.”

There is a case of intimidation of witnesses ongoing against Aidan Kearney, a Canton blogger called Turtleboy, but although Roberts is not one of his alleged victims, he says he faces rude comments and other harassment of random members of the community.

After baseball games, the children of the team that oppose their son could tell him that “Karen Gree Karen” while aligned to shake hands, he said. She filed a complaint against her mailman, who allegedly murmured a vulgarity in her stamp chamber when she saw a “Justice sign for John O'Keefe” at home. Now someone else gives their cards.
“My message for people is never witness,” he said. “If this happens to you, you will not be protected at all.”

The main defense lawyer of Read, Alan Jackson, returned to Los Angeles on time for the holidays of July 4, where he was seen navigating in a replica of Shelby Cobra, driven by a 351 Stroker who described as “a dragon that breathed the fire.”
“[It’s] Taking time to go down, “he told Fox News Digital.” But I'm slowly going back to my rhythm. “
He already has another case of fatal accident: the defense of Fraser Bohm, a 22 -year -old from Malibu facing four murder positions in a high -speed disaster that killed four brotherhood girls from the University of Pepperdine in October 2023.

Michael Proctor, a former homicide detective of the Massachusetts State Police, lost his job, but can still resurface in the next trial for murder of Brian Walshe, accused of killing his wife Ana outside Boston.
His remains have not been found. Proctor also worked that case, and Walshe's lawyers have argued that their presence contaminated the investigation. That test is scheduled to start in October.

The State Police fired Proctor after he sent lascivious text messages about reading his friends, officially guilty for sharing confidential information of the law with civilians and to drink at work.
His former supervisor, Yuri Bukhenik, was also reallocated following the second Read trial outside the Homicide Unit in Norfolk County and an administrative position in Boston, according to Boston 25.

Read defense alleged a cover -up of the state and local police, alternatively hinting at that they became lazy in the investigation and did not do a complete job or framed it directly.
Hank Brennan, the high -power defense lawyer hired as a special prosecutor to lead the second READ trial, according to reports, raised more than $ 550,000 for his work, according to Boston Herald.

That is a reasonable sum for a private lawyer, said the retired judge of Massachusetts and the law professor at Boston Jack Lu University, but also much more than a attached district prosecutor in the state payroll would have won: “Probably $ 130,000 annually.”
Brennan put long days and probably worked during the weekends, while maintaining his private practice open at the same time, he added.

And while in a rare public statement he criticized the prevalence of the intimidation of the witnesses and apologized for not ensuring a conviction, the supporters of O'Keefe indicated that they appreciate their work in the case.
“The jury pool was completely contaminated is all I can say,” Roberts told Fox News Digital. “Hank did so much work. It was a genius. It really was. No one could have done it. Which is sad evil.”
