After an eight-week trial and days of deliberation, a jury acquitted Karen Read of the most serious charges against her in John O'Keefe's death — she was convicted only on an OUI charge, prompting a sudden cheer from the hundreds of Read's supporters outside. On this special edition of "Canton Confidential," our experts discuss how the defense created a "relatively soft landing spot" for the jury to convict only on an OUI charge, what part of the acquitted charges prosecutors weren't able to prove, what it was like in court, possible next steps in civil court and for policing in Massachusetts, and much more. Plus, reaction from Read's family and supporters as well as how John O'Keefe's family is dealing with the verdict.
