Day 33 of the Karen Read Retrial happened on June 13, 2025. The Defense's closing argument, delivered by Jackson, focused on the lack of collision and the integrity of the investigation. The Prosecution's closing argument, delivered by Hank Brennan, focused on Karen Read's actions and the data.
After lunch, the court read the jury instructions. The court did not include the defense's requested instruction regarding John O'Keefe's hoodie but did include a straight DUI as a lesser included charge.
The jury began deliberations just after 2:39 PM local time and deliberated for a little under two hours before asking to go home for the weekend. They were instructed not to discuss the case with anyone, conduct independent research, or follow news about the case over the weekend. Deliberations will resume on Monday morning.

0:00.0 | Welcome back. It's time for a case brief, keeping you in the loop with the cases you care about most, just more briefly. |
0:05.2 | If you want the full coverage, it's linked in the description below. But for now, let's get into it. |
0:10.3 | Good morning, good morning, good morning, and hear ye, hear you, hear you. We are here today together on this Friday, June 13th. |
0:18.8 | It is the day for closing arguments. The court had told everyone |
0:22.4 | to be prompt this morning and on time and ready to go, had called the jurors and asked them to come |
0:27.8 | in early and wanted to start closing arguments promptly at 9 a.m. Eastern Standard Time. There |
0:34.0 | were 31 days of evidence eight weeks, and the court granted the attorneys an extra 15 |
0:41.0 | minutes for closing. So we'll see how that goes. And yesterday, I had talked about the normal |
0:47.6 | process for closing arguments. However, I forgot that nothing is normal in Massachusetts and that |
0:53.2 | closing arguments are not prosecution, defense, |
0:56.7 | prosecution rebuttal. They are defense first and then prosecution rebuttal. I have wiped it from |
1:03.0 | my mind that it's just the one and then the one, but we will see the defense go first and then the |
1:09.2 | Commonwealth. The court will do a few opening |
1:11.8 | instructions to the jury. Then they will hear from the lawyers. Then there will be a quick lunch break. |
1:17.2 | Then the court will read the like hour of closing arguments and then the jurors will go back to |
1:23.5 | deliberate. The court had asked if they could stay late today for deliberations. So make sure you |
1:27.9 | have the Law-Nard app because I will let you know when we know something or if something happens in |
1:32.8 | court or if we are going live. There was no collision. There was no collision. There was no collision. |
1:43.8 | Go, you're given the opportunity to hear from Michael Proctor, but you can read his thoughts for yourself. There was no collision. Go read him. |
1:45.0 | You weren't given the opportunity to hear from Michael Proctor, |
1:46.9 | but you can read his thoughts for yourself. |
1:49.0 | Ding, ding, ding, bring. |
