An independent agency found no evidence of a cover-up by the police department in Canton, Massachusetts, in the death of Boston Police Officer John O'Keefe.

While an independent investigation firm has said there was no “conspiracy “ against Read to frame her for her boyfriend’s murder they uncovered some massive incompetence- beyond the evidence tampering- changing witnesses statements and the lead detective and prosecutor being fired for misconduct. Besides those little things they also found

No photos of crime scene/body
The crime scene wasn’t secured until almost 24 hours later

The investigation was botched beyond belief; evidence, witnesses and the entire crime scene was mishandled,"

A quote from the article.

This same Canton PD called the death of Sandra Birchmore a “suicide “ even though the cause of death was ruled as strangulation and someone later admitted to her death. These guys are fucking brilliant.

Defense lawyers urged to reexamine convictions led by fired Karen Read detective

Michael Proctor's firing from the Massachusetts State Police over his handling of the Karen Read investigation could be a wake-up call to defense attorneys.

And now an investigation into other cases is his crack team of highly motivated, entirely professional detectives had.
Maybe just maybe , Sharing about the case , handing out nudes of the suspect , not securing the crime scene and tampering with evidence isn’t an isolated incident. Who knew .

The thing I didn’t get from the start - they found the victim dead in another cops yard, and have never given any evidence that Read was ever at that address ? Did they question the guy whose yard they found him in?

PoPo/detectives are a unique breed. I had a very good friend in HS, our families traveled and snow skied together. I lost touch with him thru the college years. He contacted me in about 199x, talked for a while. I quickly came to realize who he had become.
I was a MAC Tools distributor for several years then moved on. He insisted I was a Snap On distributor. He was right I was wrong, he looked me up and that is what he found.
Needless to say I have never spoken to him again even though he has tried to contact me a few times since.
