Prosecutors Push for Karen Read Murder Retrial in Massachusetts' Highest Court

The court will hear arguments on whether Read can be retried after a mistrial for allegedly killing her police officer boyfriend.

Karen Read faces charges of second-degree murder and leaving the scene of an accident in the death of her boyfriend, Boston police officer John O'Keefe.
A mistrial was declared in June after the jury reported being deadlocked, with no verdict announced in open court.
Read's defense argues double jeopardy should prevent a retrial, citing claims by jurors that they had agreed on her acquittal for certain charges.
Prosecutors maintain that the mistrial was necessary due to the jury's inability to reach a unanimous decision.
The Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court is set to hear oral arguments on the case on November 6, with a retrial scheduled for January.
