Karen Read Appeal Before Supreme Judicial Court This Week

The case of Karen Read heads to the state's highest court this week.  Read is seeking to have two of the three charges against her related to the death of her Boston cop boyfriend John O'Keefe dismissed. 

 

Read's attorneys say multiple jurors from her first trial that ended in a mistrial had decided she was innocent of two of the charges, second-degree murder and leaving the scene of a death. 

 

The trial judge ruled that the decision was not given in court, and agreed with prosecutors that she should be tried again on those charges.
