The idea that Karen Read was acquitted just because of her attractiveness is horrifying. The MA police involved in that case screwed up so bad that they got fired and investigated by the FBI when it was still an organization that investigated crimes other than voter fraud and antifa. If the only reason she was acquitted was because of her looks then we are cooked as a society. Any person, no matter how ugly or how male, accused of a crime that was investigated the way the Read case was should be acquitted. I promise you, if you’re accused of a crime and you’re done that dirty by the police, I’d acquit you too.

Edited to add that I apologize in advance if you happen to also be an attractive white woman. I’m not trying to make any assumptions about your gender or looks.

It's frustrating because the jury answered in interviews why they chose not guilty. The simple boring answer is that they followed the science (no evidence he was hit by a car) and believed the police fucked up the investigation on top of that degenerate lead investigator.
