Now that the jury is out for deliberation, I am curious if anybody else has been following this crazy polorizing case like I've been. My family has been calling me "alternate juror #16, since I've been following it so closely
For me, I just don't think she hit him, too many things just don't add up. John O'Keefs's arm surely didn't get all of those marks from a taillight of a Lexus SUV. Even the seasoned coroner said "it doesn't matter how fast it was going, it never hit him". Anybody who has ever had an SUV knows that if you drive even 1 mile with a broken taillight in East Coast winter snow season that you'll have all kinds of road film inside the housing. Hers was clean. It all just doesn't add up to me. The (believable) snowplow driver never saw him laying there when he went by after she allegedly hit him and left him there.
The shady behavior of his friends dumping cell phones, getting rid of their dog, remodeling the already renovated basement leaves me wondering what's really up with them and the terrible investigation.
I think she's a
very unlikable person who is being framed for his murder by his friends. She does deserve a DUI though, she was wasted.
I guess the other jurors will figure it all out .
I'll be kind of bummed if they come back guilty though. I don't like her, but I don't think she did it.
