With no verdict in sight just yet, Judge Beverly Cannone dismissed jurors in Karen Read’s retrial for the weekend at 4:30 p.m. Deliberations will resume Monday at 9 a.m., she said, reminding the jury to avoid independent research and be cautious of their social media use.
Both sides in Karen Read’s murder retrial appeared in court Thursday for a hearing before they deliver closing arguments to jurors on Friday. The hearing is known as a charge conference, where the parties hash out instructions the jury will receive before they start deliberating. Jurors weren’t present for Thursday’s proceedings.
For the second time in a week, Judge Beverly Cannone denied Karen Read's attorneys' request for a mistrial after they accused the prosecution of misconduct.
