CNN —Is Karen Read a rage-filled cop killer, or the convenient patsy of a vast police cover-up?
That’s the question put to a Massachusetts jury on Tuesday in closing arguments of her murder trial in a case that has riveted the Bay State.
After closing arguments Tuesday morning, the jury began deliberations at about 1:30 p.m. and continued for about three hours.
A drunken Read then struck him with the vehicle and fled, leaving him to die in the snowy cold, prosecutors say.
“Lie, obfuscate, manipulate, alter, and when they’re caught, they just excuse it away,” Jackson said in closing arguments.
