Summary

Fallout from the Karen Read Retrial continues, focusing on Boston Police Commissioner Cox's statements regarding Officer Kelly Dever and a strongly worded letter from Attorney Alan Jackson asking she be added to the Brady List. Officer Dever testified in the Karen Read Retrial, stating that her initial observations to the FBI about Burkowitz and Higgins in the Canton PD sallyport garage were a "false memory." She claimed she didn't recall the Commissioner telling her to "do the right thing," despite previously telling the defense he said that to her. Commissioner Cox denied knowing Officer Dever was associated with the Karen Read case and that he influenced her testimony, despite her acknowledging a meeting with him where he offered support. He stated he "encourages" many officers. Karen's Defense Attorney, Alan Jackson, sent a formal letter to Commissioner Cox, requesting that Officer Kelly Dever be included in the Brady database. This is due to her changed testimony and "false memory" claim, which he argues irreparably compromises her credibility and reliability as a law enforcement officer. Jackson asserts that if she lied, it's perjury, and if she truly suffers from false memories, she's unfit to serve. Jackson's letter warns that failure to disclose this information would be a constitutional violation, potentially leading to severe sanctions, including the dismissal of any cases Officer Dever is involved in, even post-prosecution, if this information is not disclosed to the defense.
