  • Riassunto

  • In this episode of "Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski," defense attorney Bob Motta discusses the trial of Karen Read, who is currently awaiting a verdict. The jury is struggling to reach a consensus, reflecting the divided opinions in society. Motta explains that this case epitomizes reasonable doubt, especially under Massachusetts' high standard of "moral certainty." The jury's indecision may lead to a hung jury, and Motta predicts that a verdict is unlikely. The judge has not yet given a "dynamite" charge to push for a decision, leaving the possibility open. If the jury remains deadlocked, the judge may declare a mistrial, allowing the Commonwealth to decide whether to retry the case. Motta highlights the strategic considerations for the prosecution, including their ability to address issues from the first trial and whether Karen Read can afford her high-caliber defense team again. The Commonwealth typically has a set deadline, often around 30 days, to decide on a retrial. The conversation underscores the complexities and uncertainties inherent in this high-profile case.

    **Main Points:**
    - The jury in Karen Read's trial is unable to reach a verdict, reflecting societal divisions.
    - Massachusetts requires a high standard of "moral certainty" for a guilty verdict.
