I totally agree. I felt that way ahead of time no matter the outcome. Sick to death of it.
Well i know what I think, that's for sure. Poor JO did not get justice. So are they going to charge anyone else? I bet they don't.
I don't think so. The family will just sue the ass off her hopefully.
Like a McCabe or Higgins?
I don't see them charging anyone what on this case because then they would be admitting they were wrong on this one.
I don't believe that, mainly because of the phone data showing it didn't move and the temperature dropping. They would have to show the phone going in the house and that didn't happen. It will be interesting if LE make any comments though. Eg. They could just say they are not pursuing anyone else for his death, for example.

Her of course. We don't even know yet, jury may just not feel it proven beyond doubt, doesn't mean someone else did it.
No evidence at all for others. Imo.
The "guy"? How many calls did he make?
It is doubtful but I hope she has ENOUGH common sense now to shut her mouth and move on. Other than she likely will be sued, civil is far easier. She allegedly lost her home and not all lawyers were free and owes if I recall something like $500K already and that was before trial.Karen Read found not guilty of murder in retrial on police officer boyfriend's death
Prosecutors alleged Read hit her boyfriend, John O'Keefe, with her car outside another officer's home in January 2022 and then left him to die there during a blizzard.
A new "20/20" special, "Karen Read: The Verdict," airing Wednesday, June 18, from 8 p.m. to 10 p.m. ET on ABC and streaming the next day on Hulu, examines the case.

The jury began deliberating the afternoon of June 13 in Norfolk County before reaching a verdict Wednesday afternoon.
Prosecutors alleged Read hit her boyfriend, John O'Keefe, with her car outside the Canton home of fellow police officer Brian Albert after a night of heavy drinking in January 2022 and then left him to die there during a major blizzard.
The defense had argued that Read's vehicle did not hit O'Keefe and instead said O'Keefe was attacked by a dog and beaten by other people who were in the house before he was thrown out in the snow to die.
Read pleaded not guilty to the charges and has maintained her innocence.
In brief remarks upon leaving the courthouse, she thanked her "amazing supporters" for their financial and emotional support for the past nearly four years.
"No one has fought harder for justice than John O'Keefe than I have -- than I have and my team," Read added.

Following the verdict, several of the witnesses who testified against Read called the result of the retrial "a devastating miscarriage of justice."
"Today, our hearts are with John and the entire O’Keefe family. They have suffered through so much and deserved better from our justice system," members of the Albert and McCabe families said in a statement. "While we may have more to say in the future, today we mourn with John’s family and lament the cruel reality that this prosecution was infected by lies and conspiracy theories spread by Karen Read, her defense team, and some in the media."
