A broken taillight. A dead cop. A bombshell admission. The jury is now deliberating over whether Karen Read killed John O'Keefe.

The jury in the Karen Read trial heard drastically different closing arguments Friday before deliberations began.

“As it stands now, no competent defense counsel would call Mr. Proctor,” Jack Lu, a retired superior court judge, said in an interview before Read’s defense rested this week. “He has the ability to eviscerate the defense but without him they have a path to victory.”
