After hearing arguments from the prosecution and defense, Norfolk County Superior Court Judge Beverly Cannone asked the jury to continue to deliberate, which it did until shortly after 4 p.m. Friday. Deliberations resumed at 9 a.m.. The case has featured accusations of a vast police cover-up as well as improper conduct and sexist text messages from a lead investigator.
Alternately, defense attorney David Yanetti argued the jury should be read the Tuey-Rodriguez criminal model instructions, indicating they would like the court to proceed toward having a hung jury. Prosecutors have alleged Read and O'Keefe, who had an at-times tumultuous relationship, got into an argument that night, and that she drunkenly backed into him and fled the scene, leaving him to die in the cold.The judge told jurors in Karen Read murder trial to keep deliberating after deadlock alert Friday
"Ladies and gentlemen, there was a cover-up in this case, plain and simple," defense attorney Alan Jackson said. "You'll surely say to yourself, 'I don't want to believe it, I don't want to believe that could happen in our community,' but sadly over these past eight weeks you've seen it right before your eyes."
