Karen Read's attempt to have her murder charge dismissed in Massachusetts is being denied.
Read is accused of killing her Boston police officer boyfriend, with her trial ending in a mistrial due to a hung jury in July.
Read's lawyers had argued her second degree murder and leaving the scene charges should be dismissed because a number of jurors told them the jury had voted to acquit Read of two of her three charges.
The judge said an acquittal must be public in an open court, meaning Read was never acquitted on two charges.
Read's new trial is set to begin in January.
