to set dates going forward for the high-profile murder case against her involving her Boston police officer boyfriend that ended in a mistrial earlier this month.
A boisterous crowd of about 150 people, many dressed in pink and carrying signs claiming Read is innocent, greeted her with cheers as she arrived at court. A smaller group of about a dozen people, dressed in blue, came out in support of O’Keefe.Here's what we learned Monday about the new timeline for the case, and what a second trial could look like:The next hearing in the case will be on Aug.
The defense also argues Cannone abruptly announced the mistrial without questioning the jurors about where they stood on each of the three charges Read faced and without giving lawyers for either side a chance to comment. A brief hearing in the Karen Read case set the calendar for her retrial, as well as when Judge Beverly Cannone will hear arguments on whether to dismiss two of the charges brought over the death of Read's boyfriend, Boston Police Officer John O'Keefe.Two legal experts told NBC10 Boston they think it's unlikely that either of the charges against Read will be dismissed following the Aug. 9 hearing.
There had been some talk about whether Jackson would be back, and the fact that he was not in attendance for Monday's hearing only fueled that speculation.Coyne said he thinks the prosecution will look to pare down its witness list in the second trial. Over 50 witnesses were called by the commonwealth the first time around.
