Friday saw a rare joint filing by both sides in the Karen Read murder case as both sides came together to request a delay in future hearings and the trial as neither side has received crucial pieces of evidence from multiple outside sources and companies.
The laundry list of outstanding requests, detailed below, included data from Verizon and Google, test results from the Massachusetts State Police crime laboratory, and an outstanding briefing from the United States Attorney’s Office for the District of Massachusetts.
The briefing from the U.S. Attorney’s Office is especially key as mentions of the briefing were recently used by the defense to make non-corroborated claims that there was an investigation into the prosecution of the case by the U.S. Attorney’s Office and a statement attributed to the office that the trial could not move forward.
Both sides are asking for the next motion hearing be delayed from February 15, 2024, until March 12, 2024, a cancellation pending rescheduling of the final pre-trial conference on February 26, 2024, and a delay of the trial date from its current March 12, 2024, trial date, which would now become the next motion hearing.
Karen Read is accused of killing boyfriend John O’Keefe by hitting him with her car after a drunken argument in January of 2022. Her alleged use of supporters such as “Turtleboy” Aidan Kearney (Turtleboy) to allegedly intimidate witness in the case has resulted in charges against Turtleboy with a grand jury still investigating the pair’s actions.
Read herself was recently the subject of a search warrant that saw two of her cell phones taken as part of the grand jury investigation. No new charges were filed as of yet against Turtleboy or Read in that investigation, as the grand jury has yet to conclude.
This is an on-going news story.
