Karen Read's defense team is seeking to dismiss two of the three charges against her, following a mistrial in which the jury was reportedly deadlocked. Read is accused of hitting her boyfriend, Boston police officer John O’Keefe, with her car and leaving him to die in a snowstorm in January 2022. Her lawyers argue that jurors had unanimously agreed she was not guilty of second-degree murder and leaving the scene of an accident, but were divided on manslaughter charges. The defense contends retrying her on the agreed-upon charges would constitute double jeopardy, while prosecutors maintain that no formal verdict was recorded, thus the charges should remain. The judge is expected to rule on the motion in the coming days amid continued protests from both sides of the case.
