According to the 36 00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:28,920 Speaker 2: Anderson County Sheriff's Office, hundreds had gathered peacefully earlier in 37 00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:32,000 Speaker 2: the day, but as night fell, a fight reportedly broke 38 00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:35,799 Speaker 2: out in a nearby parking lot, quickly escalating into gunfire. 39 00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:38,960 Speaker 2: The victim has been identified as thirty five year old 40 00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:42,680 Speaker 2: la Portia Janet Gray Cobb. The county coroner says she 41 00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:45,640 Speaker 2: died from a gunshot wound to the abdomen. Two of 42 00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:49,560 Speaker 2: the nine wounded remain in critical condition.

The forty five year old 48 00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:11,240 Speaker 2: Massachusetts woman was acquitted Wednesday of charges including second degree 49 00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:16,320 Speaker 2: murder and manslaughter. This after prosecutors alleged she hit her boyfriend, 50 00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:20,440 Speaker 2: Boston police officer John O'Keefe with her SUV and left 51 00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:24,120 Speaker 2: him to die outside a party. Reid was convicted only 52 00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:27,920 Speaker 2: of driving under the influence. Since the verdict, three jurors 53 00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:31,120 Speaker 2: have come forward, all pointing to major gaps in the 54 00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:34,720 Speaker 2: state's case. Once said there was quote nothing that put 55 00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:37,960 Speaker 2: her on the scene, while another admitted she started the 56 00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:42,720 Speaker 2: trial thinking Reed was guilty, but changed her mind during deliberations. 57 00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:46,200 Speaker 2: At the center of controversy as lead investigator Michael Procter 58 00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:50,600 Speaker 2: fired by the Massachusetts State Police for sending vulgar messages 59 00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:54,440 Speaker 2: about Reid. Proctor denies any misconduct and says claims he 60 00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:58,920 Speaker 2: tampered with evidence are quote ridiculous. Jurors names are now 61 00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:03,760 Speaker 2: sealed for safe but as public debate grows, key prosecution witnesses, 62 00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:07,960 Speaker 2: including Brian Albert, who hosted the party, and Jennifer McCabe, 63 00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:12,640 Speaker 2: called the verdict a devastating miscarriage of justice. Reed meanwhile 64 00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:16,120 Speaker 2: told reporters no one has fought harder for justice for 65 00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:20,440 Speaker 2: John O'Keefe than I have. The district attorney, Michael Morrissey said, 66 00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:24,480 Speaker 2: only the jury has spoken. The US Supreme Court has 67 00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:28,680 Speaker 2: revived lawsuits brought by American victims of terrorist attacks in 68 00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:33,240 Speaker 2: the Middle East, reinstigating legal action against the Palestine Liberation 69 00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:38,920 Speaker 2: Organization PLO and the Palestinian Authority. The decision uphols a 70 00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:42,920 Speaker 2: twenty nineteen law passed by Congress to ensure these cases 71 00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:46,840 Speaker 2: could move forward after lower courts had repeatedly blocked them. 72 00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:49,560 Speaker 2: The attacks at the center of the lawsuits occurred in 73 00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:53,800 Speaker 2: the early two thousands, killing thirty three and injuring hundreds, 74 00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:57,440 Speaker 2: and in twenty eighteen, when an American born settler was 75 00:04:57,480 --> 00:05:01,679 Speaker 2: fatally stabbed in the West Bankvictims and their families alleged 76 00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:05,800 Speaker 2: the PLO and Palestinian authority were directly involved or helped 77 00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:11,240 Speaker 2: incite the violence. Palestinian leaders argue US courts have no jurisdiction. 78 00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:15,360 Speaker 2: The lawsuits were originally filed under the Anti Terrorism Act 79 00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:18,400 Speaker 2: of nineteen ninety two, a law intended to give US 80 00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:22,560 Speaker 2: victims of overseas terrorism a voice and American courts. With 81 00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:26,720 Speaker 2: the High Court's ruling, those long delayed cases may now proceed. 82 00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:30,160 Speaker 1: Thanks John for the latest crime in justice needs.
