Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court to Hear Key Appeals in Karen Read Case

The Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court has agreed to review several aspects of the ongoing Karen Read murder case, including her appeal to dismiss two charges and the implications of a new special prosecutor appointed for her retrial. The Norfolk District Attorney's Office announced that a high-profile attorney, known for defending notorious mobster Whitey Bulger, will lead the prosecution in the upcoming retrial. Legal experts are weighing in on what this change in the prosecution team means for the case. Meanwhile, a movement advocating for Karen Read's release is gaining momentum, as supporters gather to call for government accountability and protest against the handling of her case. Read's new legal team has also filed a wrongful death lawsuit related to the death of John O'Keefe, which is central to the murder charges against her.
