Jury selection for Karen Read's retrial is set to begin as both the prosecution and defense address pre-trial matters in court. Prosecutors are requesting access to Read's communications with her defense attorney, suggesting that she waived attorney-client privilege by publicly discussing her culpability in the January 29, 2022, collision that led to the death of Officer John O'Keefe. Read's defense is planning to argue that another individual is responsible for the officer's death, and challenges to their third-party culprit defense are pending resolution by the judge.
Prosecutors argue that Karen Read waived the attorney-client privilege by disclosing her thoughts on the collision in public interviews, thus allowing access to her communications.
Special prosecutor Hank Brennan highlighted the importance of Read's communications during the defense's attempt to present a third-party culprit theory in the case.
