Judge declares mistrial in Karen Read murder trial
The Norfolk County District Attorney's Office says it plans to retry the case.

Following days of deliberations and multiple notes from the deadlocked jury, Judge Beverly Cannone has declared a mistrial in the high-profile and often contentious Karen Read murder trial.

The jury was tasked with determining whether Read, 44, drunkenly and intentionally backed her SUV into her boyfriend, Boston Police Officer John O’Keefe, on a snowy night in Canton two years ago. Lawyers for the Mansfield woman had alleged she was framed in a coverup.

A unanimous jury is needed for any conviction or acquittal, and jurors ultimately failed to reach a consensus, despite Cannone’s last-ditch effort Monday morning to break the deadlock using the so-called “dynamite charge.”

“Despite our rigorous efforts, we continue to find ourselves at an impasse. Our perspectives on the evidence are starkly divided,” the jury foreperson wrote in a note to Cannone around 2:30 p.m.

While some jurors believed prosecutors met their burden of proof beyond a reasonable doubt, others felt the evidence fell short, according to the note.

“The deep division is not due to a lack of effort or diligence, but rather a sincere adherence to our individual principles and moral convictions,” the foreperson wrote. “To continue to deliberate would be futile and only serve to force us to compromise these deeply held beliefs.”

Following Cannone’s declaration of a mistrial, O’Keefe’s mother sat with her head hung, quietly wiping away tears. As the courtroom emptied out, Read bounded over to hug her parents and brother.

Bristol, Connecticut — On October 12, 2022, around 7:30 p.m., 35-year-old Nicholas Brutcher and his brother, Nathan Brutcher, left their parents’ house and went to Bleachers Bar located at 300 Middle Street, Bristol. Both had been drinking before they went to the bar. That night, the bar had an “open mic” forum and Nicholas Brutcher planned to do some stand-up comedy. While sitting at the bar, Nicholas Brutcher got into a fight with another patron. The altercation began when the other patron put his arm around Brutcher, who reacted by elbowing the man in the face. The fight then spewed outside into the parking lot and police were called. When officers arrived, witnesses pointed out the Brutcher brothers were driving away. At around 8:52 p.m., Officer Harrison Pollock responded to Bleachers, upon arrival, bystanders directed his attention to a white pickup truck leaving the parking lot. Officer Pollock pulled over the Brutcher brothers' truck as they were leaving. Nathan Brutcher was driving and both men were highly agitated and making rude remarks to the officers on scene.

Because Nathan Brutcher was driving with a suspended license, the truck was towed. Both men became irate at the officers during the stop, yelling and cursing at them to the point where both were ticketed for creating a public disturbance. The Brutchers' mother was asked to come pick them up. After being picked up by his mother and returning home from the traffic stop, Brutcher immediately began putting on his camouflage, preparing his weapons, and within 30 minutes, at 10:32 p.m. placed the call to 911 to lure officers to his home. Sergeant Dustin DeMonte, Officer Alex Hamzy, and Officer Alec Iurato responded. Upon arrival, they approached the side door of the residence. They observed Nathan Brutcher inside the house and ordered him to come outside. At that time, from a concealed position on the ne..

Rusk County, Texas — On September 14, 2022, shortly after 1:00 a.m. Deputy Shane Iverson pulled over, 29-year-old Timothy Michael Randall for a traffic violation in the area of Highway 64 and CR 4125. Deputy Iverson told Randall he had pulled him over because he saw him run the stop sign at the 4-way stop, which Randall denied having done. He told Randall to get out of the vehicle, which he did, the video shows, but then he appears to struggle with the deputy when he was attempting to handcuff him. A physical struggle ensued. The struggle ended in a single gunshot that killed Randall.

Deputy Iverson shot Randall under his arm, and the bullet exited through his chest cavity, destroying his heart. Randall ran about 20 paces after he was shot, and then collapsed to the ground, where he died. During the pat-down, officials claim Randall “attempted to conceal contraband in his waistband and made furtive movements to his waistband.” The attorney for Rusk County said that the deputy believed Randall was attempting to hide a small gun down the front of his pants, but said it was later found to be a pipe in an eyeglasses case. In October 2023, Randall's mother Wendy Tippitt filed a federal lawsuit claiming wrongful death and civil rights violations.

OGLE COUNTY, Ill. (WIFR) - A 32-year-old man faces a dozen charges in connection with an Ogle County shooting that sent three members of law enforcement to the hospital.

Jonathon Gounaris is charged with four counts of attempted first-degree murder, three counts of aggravated discharge of a firearm, three counts of aggravated battery and two counts of possession without a Firearm Owner’s Identification Card (FOID). The Ogle County State’s Attorney’s Office announced the charges June 18.

According to Ogle County Sheriff Brian VanVickle, law enforcement was called June 12 to a home in the 400 block of Wild Rice Lane in Lost Lake for reports of someone threatening to commit suicide and homicide. After multiple failed attempts to talk to the person, later identified as Gounaris, authorities sent an emergency response team into the home.

Investigators say Gounaris then opened fire on law enforcement spurring a shootout. Three members of the emergency response team and Gounaris were hurt.

In a video news release shared June 18, Sheriff VanVickle said tactical medic Tyler Carls with the Rochelle Fire Department was hit twice in the body armor. Oregon Police Department Sergeant Tad Dominski was shot in the upper arm and Lieutenant Jason Ketter with the Ogle County Sheriff’s Office was shot in the face. Carls and Dominski were taken to KSB Hospital in Dixon and released. VanVickle said Ketter was flown to a Rockford hospital for surgery and released Friday, June 14. Gounaris was also taken to a local hospital for surgery after he was shot in the stomach.

Body camera footage from the shootout was also released by the sheriff’s office. Viewer discretion is advised.

During the investigation, detectives reportedly found multiple guns, a fixed-blade knife, pepper spray and ballistic armor inside the home.

Eugene, Oregon — On the night of April 22, 2024, Washington State law enforcement issued an Amber Alert for a young child kidnapped by his father, 39-year-old Elias Huizar, who was wanted in connection with two murders. On April 23, 2024, Oregon State Troopers, Sgt. OJ Johnson and Sr. Trooper Scott Show located the suspect vehicle heading southbound on I-5 near Eugene. Troopers attempted to stop the vehicle; Huizar didn't comply and a pursuit was initiated. Supt. Casey Codding joined the pursuit. Sr. Trooper Show attempts to stop the vehicle with a redirect. As Huizar vehicle continues to elude, a second redirect is attempted. Huizar stops and fires at responding troopers.

Strasburg, Virginia — On December 17,2023, at around 11:00 p.m. the Shenandoah County Emergency Communication Center received a 911 call about a woman, 40-year-old Melissa Tompkins, allegedly acting erratically and damaging property at a Ramada by Wyndham hotel in Strasburg. Officer George Rathore responded to the 911 call and encountered Tompkins in the hotel parking lot. When ordered to stop, Tompkins fled, prompting Officer Rathore to chase her back to the parking area. Despite firing two Taser cartridges, Officer Rathore was unable to subdue Tompkins. She was seen grabbing and pulling one of the Taser wires, advancing towards the officer.

In the ensuing confrontation, Tompkins seized Officer Rathore’s police radio receiver, wrapping the cord around his neck. Officer Rathore, in his effort to defend himself, fell to the ground, reached for his baton, and swung at Tompkins’ leg. However, Tompkins managed to grab the baton and struck Officer Rathore in the head. The two separated briefly, with Officer Rathore then drawing his firearm. Despite his shouts of "Stop! I don’t want to shoot you," Tompkins stepped forward, prompting Officer Rathore to fire four rapid shots, hitting Tompkins in the chest. She collapsed onto the asphalt, initially moving slowly before lying still. In the chaotic moments that followed, Officer Rathore was heard shouting, "Why did you do that? Why did you do that," and calling for assistance.

Officer David Rhodes arrived and performed CPR on Tompkins for 6 1/2 minutes while waiting for emergency responders. Officer Bianca Hager also came to the scene to assist. Tompkins was taken to Winchester Medical Center and later died from her injuries. Surveillance footage from inside the hotel before Officer Rathore's arrival showed Tompkins ransacking offices and the front desk area, at times hiding under desks. She was seen pulling out a security monitor from the wall after spotting herself on it and walking in a hallway carrying a fire extingui..

Atlanta, Georgia — On May 18, 2022, Atlanta Police Officers were called to the Fogo de Chão Brazilian Steakhouse on the 3100 block of Piedmont Road after a 911 caller reported an unruly man armed with a gun. Officers arrived at the restaurant about 26 minutes later and found 22-year-old Nygil Cullins, sitting at the bar. Cullins was reportedly a former employee of the business. Officers attempted to escort him out. Cullins was not cooperative and the encounter escalated to a physical altercation.

An officer deployed his taser. However, the taser was not effective. Cullins began heading toward the door of the business when he was tackled by a security guard. At that point, Cullins produced his gun and fired one round, striking the security guard. At least one of our officers then discharged their weapon, fatally striking Cullins. The security guard was taken the the hospital in stable condition. No one else was physically injured during the incident.

A federal lawsuit filed by Cullins family, stated that Cullins suffered such pain from the Taser that he tried to leave but was tackled by a security guard. The family claims that the restaurant's security guard falsely portrayed Cullins as a physical threat, which led to the shooting. They are alleging inappropriate use of deadly force, negligence, and civil rights violations. They are suing the police officers who killed him, the city, the restaurant, the security guard, and the company the guard worked for.
