In a pivotal ruling, Judge Beverly Cannone determined that Boston magazine reporter Gretchen Voss is not required to disclose her off-the-record notes from an interview with Karen Read, a key figure in a controversial murder case. This decision reversed a prior order aimed at obtaining unredacted materials related to the case, recognizing the significance of protecting journalistic confidentiality. Voss argued effectively that her notes were distinct and disclosing them would hinder the free flow of information, a sentiment echoed by various journalism advocacy groups. Read, accused of killing her boyfriend, is awaiting her second trial.
