Karen Read is fighting to have murder charge tossed ahead of retrial, alleging ‘extraordinary’ misconduct
Karen Reed, Massachusetts Woman from SAIdentification card It was frame in a long -term law enforcement After the authorities accused her of the deadly run against her police friend, she is scheduled to return to the court to re -trial next month on charges of second degree killing and other crimes.
But her lawyers were busy trying to try to get more than others-if not all-from the case that was widespread.
In successive hearings on Wednesday, her lawyer in the state court claimed that she was a victim of “unusual government misconduct”, while they argued at the Federal Court that re -attempting two charges, including killing, was a doubling.
A separate investigation in The alleged miscarriage by the state soldier who led the investigation On the death of the Boston Police officer, John Okev is ongoing.
In addition to the second degree killing, reading was accused of unintended car killings while driving under the effect and left a collision that caused death after the prosecutors said that it had supported the Lexus SUVs to Okif on January 29, 2022, and left him to die outside the Buston police house at the time.
during The trial of nine weeks last summer concluded with the judge, announcing a light trialRead’s Defeense team claimed that the sergeant and others are likely to be responsible for death and conspired to read in the killing of Okif.
In a file that was partially revised last week at the Norfolk Upper County Court, reading lawyers asked for all charges. The reading was “very biased” after it seemed that the authorities had changed or blocked a security security clip that captured what the lawyers described as a decisive evidence – the light of the tail on the four -wheel drive vehicles for reading, according to the submission of the deposit.
During the reading trial, the prosecutors claimed that the tail light crashed when it supported its car to Okif. Prosecutors said that the broken light contains DNA in Okif.
But the Read defense team said that the video, which was recorded in the police facility, where SUVs were taken once at the detention, shows that the tail light was not damaged until it reached the facility in Canton, Mas.
During the state court hearing on Wednesday, defense lawyer Alan Jackson described the alleged misfortune as a pattern that justifies the chapter, NBC mentioned Boston.
Prosecutor Hank Brennan rejected these claims, saying that “there is absolutely no evidence” to tamper with. He said, “It is clear that it is unambiguously that a piece of tail light is well missing before that car reaches a canton.”
The Supreme Court judge, Beverly Canon, who presided over the first trial, did not judge the issue of the seat.
In a separate hearing on Wednesday, Rad lawyers asked a federal judge who refused the charge of murder and a second prosecution, leaving a collision place causing death, as they described as the “mistake” that Cannone committed after announcing the trial.
The defense sought to charge the charges after they said that two jury told lawyers that the committee had acquitted reading crimes. Cannone denied the request, saying that they had never reached a judgment in the open court.
A reading lawyer said on Wednesday that Cannone had never been surveyed to determine whether they had reached a decision on any of the allegations. The defense had no opportunity to interrogate jurors in an attempt to ensure fairness and neutrality, NBC Boston said.
A assistant lawyer responded that this fact -finding process could display the jury, and there is nothing in the state constitution that requires taking the steps described by the defense.
The judge, who supervises the matter, said that he would take the matter according to the advice, according to NBC Boston.
April 1 reading is scheduled to re -read.
