The defense and the prosecution in the Karen Read murder case made their arguments in front of a judge Wednesday for postponing her retrial until April.
Karen Read listens during closing arguments in her trial at Norfolk Superior Court on Tuesday, June 25, 2024 in Dedham, Mass. Read is accused of killing her boyfriend Boston police Officer John O'Keefe, in 2022. The Massachusetts woman was accused of killing her Boston police officer boyfriend, John O’Keefe, by hitting him with her SUV during a snowstorm in 2022.Her retrial is scheduled to begin Jan. 27.
Both sides filed a joint motion to delay the retrial until April 1, arguing they need more time to prepare. "I think the idea of a motion to continue in our joint request is in the interest not only of justice, but I think, inevitably, I truly believe it's going to have a more efficient and effective trial," Special Prosecutor Hank Brennan said."Not surprisingly, in a joint motion, I agree with the argument made by Mr. Brennan. You've heard that there will be new commonwealth experts. There are no reports yet. There have been no disclosures.
