Prosecutors Challenge Defense Motion to Dismiss Charges in Karen Read Case

Prosecutors argue the defense's claims lack legal merit and emphasize the jury's deadlock on all counts.

Prosecutors assert the defense's motion is based on hearsay and lacks a legal basis.
The jury declared a mistrial after being unable to reach a unanimous decision on any charges.
Defense lawyers claim jurors agreed to acquit on two charges but were deadlocked on manslaughter.
Legal experts note that the judge was not required to ask jurors about their stance on individual counts.
The defense seeks dismissal of charges or a post-verdict inquiry into the jury's deliberations.
