A broken taillight. A dead cop. A bombshell admission. The jury is now deliberating over whether Karen Read killed John O'Keefe.

Residents of Canton, Massachusetts are looking forward to restoring peace in the town that's been divided by the high-profile case.

Karen Read proposed that she personally select which of the jurors would serve as alternates in her murder trial — an idea the judge denied.

The Commonwealth of Massachusetts and the defense attorneys for Karen Read are expected to give jurors their closing arguments on Friday as her retrial for the death of her boyfriend, John O’Keefe, nears its end.

“As it stands now, no competent defense counsel would call Mr. Proctor,” Jack Lu, a retired superior court judge, said in an interview before Read’s defense rested this week. “He has the ability to eviscerate the defense but without him they have a path to victory.”

Read’s lawyers again asked Judge Beverly Cannone to issue a finding of not guilty before the case even gets to the jury.
