Karen Read’s new trial date could be determined Monday
We could get a date soon for the new Karen Read murder trial.
Read’s defense team and prosecutors are expected in court Monday to consider the next steps.
After a mistrial, prosecutors made it clear that they intend to retry Read, who’s accused of hitting her Boston police officer boyfriend, John O’Keefe, with her SUV and leaving him to die in the snow.
Read’s defense team says five jurors have come forward and confirmed the jury was only unable to agree on the manslaughter charge. Now, they’re looking to hold a post-verdict inquiry to confirm the jurors found her not guilty of second-degree murder and leaving the scene.
Prosecutors are asking the court to deny that request, and if the judge does agree to hold such a hearing, legal experts say there’s a real chance prosecutors could be barred from retrying Read for murder.
The new date must be before July first 2025, exactly one year after the mistrial was declared.

Here’s what Mass. voters had to say about Biden’s decision to step aside
Politicians from both parties were quick to react Sunday to President Joe Biden’s announcement that he’s abandoning his reelection bid, but it’s the voters who will determine the next president, of course.
NBC10 Boston talked with some Massachusetts voters on Sunday to gauge how they’re taking the news. They tell us they are not so surprised, especially with all the recent calls in the Democratic party for Biden to step aside. Now they say they hope that a new candidate can bring renewed energy for the upcoming election.
“I think we knew this was maybe coming,” Rob Perkins said. “It’s just hard when you’re in that position with that much power to step outside yourself and see kind of the reality for what it is.”
“I was expecting it,” Jeff Shaw said. “I know, I’m sure it was a very difficult decision for Biden to take, you know this is something he’s been aspiring his whole life, serving the country, but I think it was the right one. It was a selfless choice.”
For some, there was no coming back after his disastrous debate performance against former President Donald Trump, and they believe this was the best decision.
“He needs to give somebody else a chance, he’s forgetting, getting up there in age, making mistakes on his words,” Deidra Glover said.
“Once I saw some of the big wigs in the party you know Pelosi and Schumer, and those guys announcing that they think he should go, I figured he would do the right thing,” Damian Sugrue said. “I think it’s going to give the Democrats a much better chance to beat Trump, which I think is the ultimate goal.”
“They’re really just gonna have to coalesce and figure out what the path forward is going to be for the next candidate,” Shaw said. “I think you’re already seeing a lot of the endorsements that are kinda coming in.”
With the election just around the corner, voters say they do feel there is enough time for a new candidate to lay their proposals on the table and win their vote come November.
