The countdown is on to Read's retrial next month, and there are several hearings on the agenda this week. The post Livestream: Karen Read back in court following contentious hearing, motion to dismiss appeared first on Boston.com.
Karen Read returned to court following a contentious hearing where her defense team and prosecutors disputed payments to crash reconstructionists. The defense paid nearly $24,000, claiming it was for reimbursement, though the judge has yet to rule on its propriety. Read's retrial is scheduled for next month, with several hearings this week. The defense filed a motion to dismiss, alleging prosecutorial misconduct, including suppressed videos and jury misleading. Prosecutors denied these claims, accusing the defense of misrepresentation. Additionally, Read faces a federal court hearing where her attorneys seek to drop two charges, citing double jeopardy concerns, though the Supreme Judicial Court rejected her appeal.
