Wednesday was a busy day in the high-profile Karen Read case, with two separate hearings scheduled.
The first hearing, in federal court, was held in the morning, followed by one in Norfolk Superior Court just after noon.
Read is accused of killing her boyfriend, Boston Police Officer John O'Keefe, by hitting him with her SUV outside a home in Canton in January 2022. She has pleaded not guilty, and alleges she was framed.
At her first trial last year, jurors were unable to reach a unanimous decision, leading to a mistrial. Her retrial is scheduled to get underway on April 1.
