Sea of pink-clad supporters continue to support Karen Read as jury deliberates

These Read supporters, who have grown in numbers over the past nine weeks, say they feel a verdict will be coming soon.

“There is no doubt in my mind that this jury is going to bring back a not guilty verdict and exonerate Karen Read,” said Rita Lombardi, a Read supporter.Get New England news, weather forecasts and entertainment stories to your inbox.NBC10 Boston legal analyst Michael Coyne said that while he expects a relatively quick verdict, he thinks the jury will be mindful to weigh all the evidence before reaching a decision – especially knowing the intense amount of interest in this high-profile case.

Many outside the courthouse think that even when this trial is wrapped up, there will continue to be questions. And they say their advocacy for Read and against the prosecution will not end on the sidewalks surrounding the courthouse here in Dedham. “Norfolk County DA’s office works for us and that’s why they’re here," Karen Read supporter Marshall Lane said."We’re letting them know they work for us. We are not in servitude to them, and they cannot strip us of our rights like they’re trying to do to Karen Read.”

This group of supporters said they’ll continue to show up as long as it takes for the jury to reach its verdict.
