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.

Tuesday marks Day 30 of witness testimony in Read’s second trial. Attorneys are expected to argue motions, including what the defense’s next ARCCA witness will be allowed to testify before Dr. Elizabeth Laposata returns to the stand.

A new court filing by Karen Read’s defense team could indicate she will not testify in her retrial for the January 2022 killing of her boyfriend, Boston police officer John O’Keefe, as questions swirl about whether she will take the stand in the case’s waning days.

Karen Read's defense presents expert testimony that Officer O'Keefe's fatal injuries resulted from falling backward, with facial wounds caused by a separate impact.

A broken taillight. A dead cop. A bombshell admission. The jury is now deliberating over whether Karen Read killed John O'Keefe.
