JESSICA GOOD EVENING. THROUGHOUT THIS TWO MONTH TRIAL, KAREN REED AND HER FAMILY. THEY REGULARLY SPOKE WITH REPORTERS OUTSIDE THE COURTHOUSE, BUT OFFICER JOHN O'KEEFE'S FRIENDS AND FAMILY, THEY HAVE REMAINED LARGELY SILENT UNTIL NOW. HIS BADGE NUMBER FOR THE PAST TWO YEARS. BRENDAN CAIN HAS WORN A BASEBALL CAP WITH JOHN O'KEEFE'S BADGE NUMBER PRINTED ON THE FRONT AND HIS INITIALS ON THE BACK. AND HOW OFTEN DO YOU WEAR IT? CONSTANTLY, CAIN SAYS HE AND O'KEEFE MET AT THE AGE OF FOUR AND, ALONG WITH O'KEEFE'S YOUNGER BROTHER PAUL, ALL GREW UP TOGETHER ON THE SAME STREET IN BRAINTREE.

THAT DOES NOT NULLIFY THE EVIDENCE THAT SAYS THAT JOJOHNNY WAS HIT BY A LEXUS. O'KEEFE'S FRIENDS AND FAMILY ARE NOW PREPARING THEMSELVES FOR A SECOND TRIAL, INCLUDING THE POSSIBILITY THAT IT MIGHT BE MOVED TO ANOTHER PART OF THE STATE. CAIN SAYS HE HOPES THAT THE NEXT JURY WILL SEE THE STORY DIFFERENTLY. THE REAL STORY IS A SIMPLE ONE. IS A SIMPLE, UNINTERESTING STORY, AND IT DOESN'T GET CLICKS. IT DOESN'T GET VIEWS. IT DOESN'T GET RATINGS. THE CONSPIRACY THIS FALSE NARRATIVE OF A COVER UP. THAT'S WHAT GETS ATTENTION.
