Wednesday was a strenuous day in the top-class Karen Read case with two separate hearings.

The first hearing before the Federal Supreme Court took place in the morning, followed by one before the Supreme Court of Norfolk, shortly after noon.

Read is accused of killing her friend, the Boston police officer John O'keefe, by beating him with her SUV in front of a house in Canton in January 2022. She did not know her guilty and claimed that she was framed.

In their first legal proceedings last year, the jury could not make a unanimous decision, which led to a Mistrial. Your resumption is scheduled to get going on April 1st.

No live camera -feed was allowed in the federal hearing, but a livestream of the superior court's hearing is transferred in the video player above. You can also follow live updates from both hearings below:
