The Karen Read murder trial is scheduled to begin next month, but an important hearing was held in the case on Tuesday.
Defense attorneys argued prosecutors engaged in"deception" and that the DA isn't a"neutral, impartial prosecutor," while an assistant district attorney called the defense's strategy"a three-card monte trick"murder trial is scheduled to begin next month, but an important hearing was held in the case on Tuesday that could affect the trajectory of the trial.
"That conflict was never described to the grand jury and we've been rebuffed at every single turn," he said. "Any one of these examples would be enough to dismiss the charges as they sit here today, but the cumulative effect of this deception is too much for the court to ignore," Jackson said in asking for the dismissal of the indictment.
"The defense is trying to say, 'Look the other way.' It's a three-card monte trick. 'Look at this relationship, look at that relationship.' The defense is obfuscating from the extensive evidence. They don't want you to look at that. They want you to look at who texted who when," he said. Norfolk County District Attorney Michael Morrissey demanded that harassment of witnesses in the prosecution of Karen Read over the death of her boyfriend, Boston Police Officer John O'Keefe, "needs to stop."
