There was a dramatic alternate in Norfolk Superior Courtroom Wednesday whereas the jury within the Karen Learn trial deliberated the costs.
It ended with Decide Beverly Cannone snapping at Learn: “Excuse me, that is humorous, Ms. Learn? All proper, we’re carried out.”
Courtroom reconvened about 10 a.m., with out the jury current. Cannone requested what they had been doing there, and protection lawyer Alan Jackson argued that the decision slip given to the jurors is inappropriate due to the location of not responsible bins on the slips.
Cannone defined that if jurors do not verify the responsible block, the decision reads not responsible.
It is the query that is been on the minds of many for months: is Karen Learn responsible of murdering her boyfriend, Boston Police Officer John O’Keefe, or was all of it a canopy up? The jury on this high-profile case might resolve Wednesday.
“That isn’t the way it ought to be, and it is over our robust objection. They should see that there’s a not responsible possibility,” Jackson stated.
However Cannone disagreed and stated she thought the decision slip was acceptable. As she was explaining that to Jackson, she appeared to note a response from Learn that she did not respect, resulting in her remark that ended the session.
