Trooper Proctor FIRED in Karen Read Case: What It Means for the Trial
Manage episode 472462585 series 2799305
Trooper Michael Proctor has been fired by the Massachusetts State Police due to actions in the Karen Read investigation. While this is a workplace termination, not criminal charges, Proctor was found guilty of unsatisfactory performance and alcoholic beverages.
Superintendent Noble stated this was due to maintaining public trust and accountability. Proctor has the right to appeal. This firing is significant because it happened before the trial, allowing the defense to question him about it and potentially challenge his credibility. The prosecution may also have to address the firing.
The termination closes the internal affairs investigation, likely opening the door for this to be discussed during the trial and impacting how the jury views Proctor's testimony and the investigation's integrity. The prosecution's strategy in light of this firing is uncertain, but they may try to distance themselves from Proctor.
