Karen Read's legal team is pushing back against her upcoming retrial on charges connected to the death of her boyfriend, Boston police officer John O'Keefe. After a mistrial was declared in July 2022, her lawyers filed motions citing potential double jeopardy violations and alleging that Read was framed to shield other officers. The Massachusetts supreme judicial court ruled for a new trial on all initial charges. A federal court is set to address Read's claims, with a deadline for the state's response due before a hearing in early March 2023.
Lawyers for Karen Read argue she was framed by law enforcement officials in connection with the death of her boyfriend, Boston officer John O'Keefe.
Following a mistrial in July, Read's attorneys seek to prevent her retrial, claiming that jurors were only deadlocked on the manslaughter count.
The Massachusetts supreme judicial court recently allowed a new trial on all charges against Read, despite her attorneys' claims of constitutional violations.
A federal judge has set a deadline for the state's response by February 26 and scheduled a hearing for March 5 to address Read's motion.
