The first week of jury selection in the Karen Read trial came to a close on Friday inside Norfolk Superior Court in Dedham, Massachusetts. Ten jurors have been seated so far. Read's first trial ended with a mistrial due to a "starkly divided" hung jury.
Two true crime reporters have filed a lawsuit against Massachusetts State Police for allegedly blocking them outside the courthouse where Karen Read is on trial.
The suit against Norfolk Superior Court Judge Beverly Cannone says she has violated "the constitutional guarantees of free speech and due process."
Court officials have said they aim to seat a total of 16 jurors for Karen Read's upcoming trial, including four alternates.
With 10 jurors already in place for the second Karen Read trial, a new pool of several dozen potential jurors filled a Dedham courtroom Friday morning. In all, 72 new potential jurors arrived for jury duty on Friday. Of that 72, 66 said they had seen, heard or talked about the case and 43 said they had already formed or expressed an opinion.
As jury selection continues for the second trial of Karen Read, her team is pursuing every avenue to have the murder charge against her dismissed.
