60
00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:53,600

61
00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:57,240
Speaker 2: Karen Reid, a former adjunct professor at Bentley College, is

00:03:57,280 --> 00:04:00,720

63
00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:03,720
Speaker 2: leaving him to die in a snowstorm in January twenty

64
00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:08,040
Speaker 2: twenty two. Prosecutors have charged her with second degree murder, manslaughter,

65
00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:10,960
Speaker 2: and leaving the scene of a crime. The initial trial

66
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:14,120
Speaker 2: concluded in July twenty twenty four with a mistrial after

67
00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:18,880
Speaker 2: jurors reported being deadlocked. Defense attorney Martin Weinberg contended that

68
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:22,280
Speaker 2: jurors had unanimously agreed on not guilty verdicts for the

69
00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:25,400
Speaker 2: second degree murder and leaving the scene charges, but were

70
00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:29,080
Speaker 2: deadlocked on the manslaughter count. However, the court emphasized that

71
00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:33,440
Speaker 2: post trial jurors statements cannot alter the trial's outcome. The

72
00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:36,800
Speaker 2: defense maintains that Reid was framed to protect other law

73
00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:40,960
Speaker 2: enforcement officers allegedly involved in O'Keefe's death. They argued that

74
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:44,080
Speaker 2: O'Keefe was killed inside a fellow officer's home and then

75
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:48,000
Speaker 2: placed outside to conceal the true circumstances. In a recent

76
00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:51,719
Speaker 2: interview with Boston twenty five News, Reid expressed her readiness

77
00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:55,080
Speaker 2: for the retrial, stating quote, I don't care who I face.

78
00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:58,200
Speaker 2: I have the truth. I have the best attorneys. Do

79
