Karen Read's retrial is uncertain as both the prosecution and defense met in court to discuss a potential delay pending a federal appeals court ruling. Her defense lawyer sought to postpone the trial from April 1 to April 28, citing the need for a decision on two charges previously denied by state courts. The prosecution agreed to the short delay but retains the option to challenge further postponements. Judge Cannone highlighted the difficulties of rescheduling, pointing out the extensive preparation already undertaken for jury selection.
Defense attorney Alan Jackson asked Judge Beverly Cannone Tuesday to delay the start of Read's murder trial as lawyers wait for a federal appeals court to weigh in on her case.
Months and months ago, we got the jury commissioner's office on this to get us the amount of jurors we need starting April 1... that process will take additional months if we change the date.
