Alan Jackson requested the inclusion of Officer Kelly Dever on Boston's Brady list, arguing her testimony during Karen Read's retrial compromised her credibility. Jackson's letter to Police Commissioner Michael Cox claimed Dever's assertion of experiencing false memories undermined the accuracy of her reports and statements. The issue arose after Dever testified she witnessed key individuals with the alleged murder weapon. Karen Read was acquitted of murder and manslaughter but convicted of drunk driving, raising claims of a law enforcement coverup by her defense team.
"Her reports, statements, and testimony can no longer be presumed accurate, and any case - current or prior - involving Officer Dever must be reviewed accordingly," Jackson wrote in the letter.
If she truly suffers from false memories, she is unfit to serve as a police officer," Alan Jackson told Boston Police Commissioner Michael Cox.
In a scathing letter to Boston Police Commissioner Michael Cox last week, Alan Jackson argued Officer Kelly Dever's 'false memory' claim warrants her inclusion on the list, which is used to track law enforcement officials whose credibility has come under fire.
Jackson's complaint stems from Dever's June 2 testimony that she was experiencing a 'false memory' when she told federal authorities she saw witness Brian Higgins and former Canton Police Chief Kenneth Berkowitz with the alleged murder weapon.
