Karen Read's Retrial Scheduled for January 2025 After Mistrial in Boyfriend's Death

Judge to consider defense motion to dismiss charges in August hearing as legal battle continues

Karen Read's retrial date is set for January 27, 2025, following a mistrial declared earlier this month.
The mistrial was declared after jurors were deadlocked, with a split decision on the manslaughter charge.
Defense attorneys argue that jurors unanimously agreed to acquit Read on second-degree murder and leaving the scene charges.
A hearing on the defense's motion to dismiss these charges is scheduled for August 9.
Prosecutors maintain that the motion to dismiss is legally unfounded and plan to retry all charges.
