It's the final countdown now in the Karen Read murder trial. Closing arguments concluded Tuesday and the jury began its deliberations.

We'll have live coverage in the video player above as soon as a verdict has been reached.The day began shortly after 9 a.m. with a sidebar involving a juror and lawyers for the prosecution and defense. Several prosecution witnesses are in court Tuesday, including Brian Albert, Jen McCabe, Colin Albert and Kerry Roberts.

Her defense claims she is being framed. And just before wrapping up their case, their most important witnesses — a doctor and two crash analysis experts — all testified that it's a possible a coverup. "I mean, that's the whole issue. There's no evidence to indicate what may have allegedly occurred in this case," said Dr. Andrew Rentschler, a biomechanical engineer and accident re-constructionist with ARCCA.'Look the other way': Defense presents its closing argument

Defense attorney Alan Jackson presents his closing arguments in the Karen Read trial Tuesday morning. The defense has maintained that Read, who is accused of killing her boyfriend John O'Keefe by hitting him with her SUV, was framed as part of a law enforcement coverup. "So what happened next? We absolutely know that John was in the house... How long does it take to have a cross word? How long does it take to have a fight? How long would it take for Brian Higgins to say to John, 'You know, your girl's been texting me.' A push, a punch, a fall, pull Chloe off his arm, and now its done.
