[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Question for those who believe Karen Read is guilty: what if an eye witness came forward or a video was found that showed, without a doubt that John O’Keefe’s death was a slip and fall accident? So, no one would be to blame, it would just be a very sad accident.

How would you feel about this trial if it were proven that no one is to blame for John’s death? How would you feel about Karen Read and the idea that she had been unjustly accused? Would you feel understanding that she had to fight for innocence in court, or would you maybe find it hard to accept that she didn’t do it after thinking of her as guilty all this time?

Just curious if anybody who thinks she is guilty would feel bad if they learned that there was some incontrovertible proof that she had nothing to do with it. [/quote]

If there were video, I would accept it immediately.

Since you asked, if there were video of KR hitting him, would you accept it?[/quote]

Of course. I personally have no idea what happened that night and have not seen enough evidence to convince me of any theory, so if I were a juror, I would be morally constrained to vote not guilty. To me, the evidence points to a tragic accident. But if there were a video or an eyewitness to what I happened, that would make a difference.

I ask because so many of the posters on the Reddit “sanity” thread seem to be very, very sure that she is guilty, even without definitive proof thereof. They appear invested in her guilt, to a point where they were posting about looking forward to her being handcuffed and humiliated upon entering prison. That struck me as a very entrenched position, so I wonder if it would be difficult to accept proof that Mr. O’Keefe’s death happened in a completely different way.
