Read Retrial Judge Rejects Jury's Question
Tap title to read story
In Karen Read's murder retrial, the judge refused a jury question deemed "theoretical," concerning hung jury implications. Earlier, the judge addressed three jury questions regarding evidence and verdict implications related to charges of manslaughter and OUI (operating under the influence). Read, accused of striking and killing John O'Keefe, is defended by claims of a police conspiracy. The judge's refusal echoes last year's mistrial, also resulting from jury deliberation challenges.
