Governor Maura Healey is supporting the decision to relieve state trooper Michael Proctor of duty.
Proctor admitted to serious misconduct during the trial of Karen Read, which ended with a mistrial on Monday.
Healey says while she supports the decision, she says the matter is still under an internal affairs investigation so she cannot say much else.
Proctor has had his gun, state vehicle and gear taken away, which officials say is standard when a trooper is relieved of duty.
