我作为辩护律师,感谢陪审团的关注、耐心和勇气。本案从一开始就存在腐败,首席调查员Michael Proctor的不当行为影响了案件的每一个部分。合理怀疑是整个司法系统的基石。如果陪审团认为指控可能是真的,他们必须投无罪票,因为这些标准都不能达到排除合理怀疑和达到道德确信的非凡标准。道德上的确定性意味着一种非常强烈、不可动摇的信心,以至于你可以回家,看着你所爱的人的眼睛说,我确信。 我作为检察官,想强调John O'Keefe是一个好人,一生都在帮助别人。在2022年1月29日早上,John O'Keefe需要帮助,而唯一能帮助他的人是Karen Read,但她做出了错误的决定。Karen Read喝醉了,开车撞了John O'Keefe,然后把他留在那里等死。我回顾了大量证据,包括Karen血液样本显示她超标两到三倍,以及手机电池温度的数据,这些数据证明John O'Keefe整晚都在室外。现场的物证,特别是车辆的尾灯碎片,也证明发生了碰撞。Karen Read离开时,把大量的尾灯碎片都留在了院子里。我还播放了Karen Reid留给John的愤怒语音邮件,以及她自己接受媒体采访的片段,其中她承认自己可能喝多了。 我被指控犯有二级谋杀罪,但我坚信自己是无辜的。检方未能证明我犯有罪行,他们的证据存在缺陷,并且受到偏见的影响。我感谢我的律师团队和所有支持我的人。 我作为法官,根据证据和法律,宣布Karen Read二级谋杀罪名不成立,酒后驾车罪名成立,判处一年缓刑。 我的儿子John O'Keefe死于一场悲剧,Karen Read应该为他的死负责。她为了自救,让我的家人遭受了地狱般的折磨。
