Karen Read Case Back In Court This Week

The closely-watched Karen Read case will be back in court in Massachusetts this week after a jury came back deadlocked. 

 

The Norfolk Superior Court judge in the case is holding a hearing on motions to dismiss two of the three charges against Read. 

 

The defense says the jury in her first trial in connection with the death of her Boston cop boyfriend John O'Keefe had decided to acquit on second-degree murder and another charge. 

 

Prosecutors say Read killed O'Keefe with her SUV and left him to die in a snowstorm in 2022, while the defense claims she's being framed by corrupt cops. 

 

The hearing is scheduled for Friday, and her second trial is tentatively set to begin next January.
