Hank Brennan, the special prosecutor for the retrial of Karen Read's case, released his first statement Monday following last week's verdict

Hank Brennan said he was disappointed in Karen Read's verdict and "the fact that we could not achieve justice for John O'Keefe and his family."

The jury has spoken, but Special Prosecutor Hank Brennan, in an egregious breach of prosecutorial ethics, has tried to publicly shame and discredit that very jury,” said Alan Jackson, Read’s lead defense attorney.
