[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why’d they find her Not Guilty? What happened exactly? What did the decision hinge on? [/quote]

[b]They didn't. It ended in a mistrial because the jury could not reach consensus. [/b]

Part of the issue is that the police investigation was totally mishandled. Also the medical examiner could not even say for sure what his cause of death was and there were experts who testified that his injuries were not consistent with being hit by a car. Even if she did hit his arm with the corner edge of her taillight, that's generally not enough to kill a person. A lot of things don't add up. [/quote]

No, the jury DID reach consensus on two out of the three charges: they found her not guilty of murder and leaving the scene of an accident. They could not agree on involuntary manslaughter.[/quote]

"there were experts who testified that his injuries were not consistent with being hit by a car."

THAT'S A LIE! PROOF From the first trial:

Nice try though! [/quote]

There is no “nice try” involved. The 1st jury found her not guilty of two out of three charges. Whether you think she hit him or not does not matter when it comes to that.[/quote]

The charges are related.

1- she murdered on purpose. (NG)
2- she left the hit & run scene on purpose (NG) 
3 - she killed him on accident, vehicular manslaughter, and wrecklessly/ drunk (mistrial) [/quote]

PATENTLY FALSE ASSERTION.

The first jury RETURNED ZERO VERDICTS.

They DID NOT FIND HER NOT GUILTY of any of the charges. Her ridiculous appeals on this issue, which was created by her $5 million dollar defense team's failure to request a poll or inquiry of a jury that came back three times to say they were deadlocked ON THE CHARGES, is a waste of time which was verified by every Massachusetts state court of appeals, by two federal courts of appeals, and by SCOTUS denying her petition for cert.

I'm shocked by the level of stupidity being exhibited in some comments here.

Many people go to prison for decades on circumstantial evidence less strong than the evidence in this case. We will never see a video of her SUV hitting John and it is likely she's not even clear on the  mechanism of the strike because she was 2-4x the legal limit when she plowed into him. We DO have vehicle data which establishes an INTENTIONAL reversal of the vehicle for 60+ feet at 24mph and the very clear moment of the vehicle striking a stationary object of much lighter weight and the 'hiccup' in speed that results from the transfer of kinetic energy from vehicle to object struck.

We have her telling her dad the morning of that she backed up and struck something.

We have her telling at least a half dozen people repeatedly that she HIT HIM she HIT HIM she HIT HIM on the morning she 'discovered' his body where she last left it earlier that morning.

We have her leaving screaming banshee messages on his voicemail for an hour before she passed out drunk, and we have her waking up from her passed out state and immediately calling people to tell them John was dead and probably hit by a plow. She even woke his poor teenaged niece with such still drunken declarations in the very wee hours of the morning.

Have you people really never had any experience with how extreme intoxication translates into bizarre human behavior?

And finally, she did not need to have intended his death - she is charged with second degree DEPRAVED HEART murder, which requires only that she intended an act that exhibited extreme recklessness and disregard for human life. An act like backing at your boyfriend in a drunken rage after he's left your vehicle and started walking toward a house party that you don't want to attend and that you don't want him to attend because you want him to go home with you and kiss your narcissistic ass all night long and tell you how special and wonderful you are.

That's what happened. Karen murdered John. I cannot wait to watch the court officers put John's handcuffs on her scrawny wrists and walk her out of the Dedham courthouse for the ride to MCI Framingham where she can gorge herself on carbs and toilet hooch for the next few decades while she feels sorry for herself BECAUSE NOTHING IS EVER HER FAULT. She's an odious human being and deserves to suffer the rest of her life. It's disgusting that she is a celebrity among morons and that some of you have such a pathetic grasp of our criminal justice system.
