In Karen Read's Massachusetts murder trial, the jury was deadlocked on manslaughter, leading to a mistrial, and her defense team seeks to prevent a retrial on murder charges due to double jeopardy.
Karen Read's defense team claims the jury in her Massachusetts murder trial had unanimously concluded she was not guilty of murder or leaving the scene of a deadly accident, and were deadlocked only on the remaining manslaughter charge before the judge declared a mistrial. They filed a motion to question all jurors and argue that for reasons of double jeopardy, the state of Massachusetts cannot retry Read on the murder charges. Read is accused of ramming her SUV into her Boston police officer boyfriend and leaving him for dead in a snowstorm.
