Massachusetts State Trooper Michael Proctor has been suspended without pay following a duty status hearing, amid ongoing internal and federal investigations into his conduct during the Karen Read murder trial. Proctor, the lead investigator, was criticized for sending vulgar and demeaning text messages about Read, which he admitted were unprofessional but claimed did not compromise the investigation. The suspension follows the trial’s mistrial declaration due to a hung jury. Massachusetts State Police Interim Superintendent Col. John Mawn accepted a three-member panel's recommendation for Proctor's suspension. Governor Maura Healey condemned Proctor’s remarks, highlighting their impact on public trust in law enforcement. Proctor's future with the department will depend on the outcomes of the ongoing investigations.
