Damning testimony during Read's trial led to the suspension of Massachusetts State Police Officer Michael Proctor.
A fourth juror in the Karen Read trial has come forward to report that the jury found her "not guilty" of second-degree murder and leaving a scene of personal injury and death, attorneys wrote in court documents."There was no manifest necessity for a mistrial as to those counts, and therefore the Double Jeopardy protections of the federal and state Constitutions require that those counts not be retried," Read's defense attorney Alan Jackson wrote in court documents.
Albert is the brother of Brian Albert, who hosted the party at the house where John O'Keefe's body was found outside. The Canton Police Department had recused itself from the investigation due to the Albert brothers' connection to the case. Kevin Albert was also placed on paid administrative leave, according to WCVB. The Canton Police Department did not immediately respond to ABC News' request for comment.
