![Cop Causes A MASSIVE Lawsuit Instead Of Waiting For Backup! [Revised Episode]](https://i0.wp.com/www.phillyfinest369.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/1752171036_maxresdefault.jpg?resize=450%2C300&ssl=1)
Karen Read was already found NOT GUILTY ❤
How could the state charge her again when she was just found not guilty on all counts? How many witnesses have to tell u there was no body on the lawn at the time immediately following Karen Read dropping him of? How many people have to testify that Karen Read never hit John with a vehicle? The fact that the home was never even treated as a crime scene is shocking. The dog was never seized so that chain of custody could be established. There's reasonable doubt all over this case. The plow driver never saw John laying on the lawn and he was looking right at the lawn w his lights shining on it and he came back several times. The body wasn't there until after the work vehicle showed up. People who were suspects in this case were left alone w evidence, namely the vehicle. If they tried to charge her again a fucking riot would break out.
This reminds me of the TV show "How to Get Away with Murder" and the main character was a college professor. She did it. The prosecution did a wonderful Job. When asked by the Jury what we do with Karen Read interviews I knew right then and there what the jury's comprehension was🙄. The interviews were admission to guilt easily.
Biased Bev didn’t clarify verdict form because she was pissed the jury was leaning toward acquittal. She gave ‘if they are going to acquit they can figure out the form themselves’.
The jurors in the Diddy trial and court staff will be scarred for life 😮
Omg im taking karen out to eat home town buffet soon. We got a date. She been in prison too long. She my high school best friend
If you are an LA prosecutor….. Then why do Preds get off without any charges when caught in sting operations, with overwhelming evidence?
The corrupt cops and shoddy investigation denied John O’Keefe and his family justice i don’t think she meant to hit him but I believe she did I don’t think they should have tried her tho coz the reasonable doubt was overwhelming and she was just throwing shade back at the people inside the house because they were all willing to testify against her she knows they didn’t touch him or she’d have said that before it was convenient to do so imo ♥️
Yeesh. Just dropped and the first two comments are bots. Report them since YT doesn't care.
My husband tried to surprise me with a striptease. It was adorable until he got tangled up in his own pants and fell over the coffee table. Smooth moves, honey🍓
My grandmother says true love is when you can laugh together at videos like this😻
