最高法院驳回卡伦·里德的双重危险上诉

2025-04-29 10:08 -ABC  -  296737

  美国最高法院否认了卡伦阅读了调取案卷的申请,因此不会复审她的案子。

  里德曾要求最高法院介入她的案件,声称在她的第一次审判中,陪审团就两项指控达成一致后,一罪不二审。

  里德被指控在2022年1月杀害了她的男友,波士顿警官约翰·奥基夫。检察官指控里德在波士顿遭遇暴风雪时开车撞了奥基夫,并让他自生自灭。里德否认了这些指控,并坚称自己是无辜的。

  里德重审的证词现在已经进入第二周,周一早上,Cellebrite的数字法医伊恩·韦芬(Ian Whiffin)继续作证。

  法官宣布审判无效在去年里德的第一次审判中,陪审团未能就所有指控达成一致裁决。

  她被控一级谋杀,在酒后驾驶机动车并离开致命事故现场时杀人。她不服罪。

  里德的律师要求多个上诉法院在重审中驳回二级谋杀和离开致命事故现场的指控。他们在法庭文件中称,对她的指控进行重审将违反双重危险保护,因为根据四名陪审员随后的陈述,陪审团一致决定无罪释放里德的指控。

  随着最高法院周一拒绝听取她的上诉,她已经别无选择。

  重审第一周最具戏剧性的证词来自奥基夫的母亲玛格丽特·“佩吉·”奥基夫,她在里德的第一次审判中没有被传唤作证。

  佩吉·奥基夫(Peggy O'Keefe)形容她的儿子是一个“热情”的体育迷,他和他的侄女和侄子相处得“非常好”,在他们的父母过早去世后,他为他们提供了主要的监护权。

  “他是他们的头号人物,”她颤抖地说,“他们叫他JJ。”

  当特别检察官汉克·布伦南展示她儿子微笑的照片时,她抽泣起来。

  Supreme Court denies Karen Read's double jeopardy appeal

  The U.S. Supreme Courthas deniedKaren Read’s petition for certiorari, and therefore will not review her case.

  Read had asked the Supreme Court to intervene in her case, arguing double jeopardy after the jurors allegedly agreed on acquittal for two charges in her first trial.

  Read is accused of killing her boyfriend, Boston police officer John O'Keefe, in January 2022. Prosecutors allege Read hit O'Keefe with her vehicle and left him to die as Boston was hit with a major blizzard. Read has denied the allegations and maintained her innocence.

  Testimony in Read’s retrial -- now in its second week -- resumed Monday morning with testimony from Ian Whiffin, a digital forensics examiner from Cellebrite.

  The judgedeclared a mistrialin Read's first trial last year after the jury could not reach a unanimous verdict on all of the counts.

  She was charged with first-degree murder, manslaughter while operating a motor vehicle under the influence and leaving the scene of a fatal accident. She pleaded not guilty.

  Read's attorneys asked multiple appeals courts to dismiss the charges of second-degree murder and leaving the scene of a fatal accident in the retrial. They argued in court filings that retrying her on the charges would violate double jeopardy protections because, based on subsequent statements from four jurors, the jury had reached a unanimous decision to acquit Read on the charges.

  With the Supreme Court on Monday rejecting to hear her appeal, she's run out of options.

  Among the most dramatic testimony in the first week of the retrial was from O'Keefe's mother, Margaret "Peggy" O'Keefe, who was not called to testify in Read's first trial.

  Peggy O'Keefe described her son as an "enthusiastic" fan of sports who was "wonderful" with his niece and nephew, for whom he provided primary guardianship following their parents' untimely deaths.

  "He was their No. 1," she said, shakily, "They called him JJ."

  She sobbed when special prosecutor Hank Brennan showed a photo of her son smiling.
