Judge Beverly Cannone ruled that the prosecutors' requests for phone records were inadequate, siding with Karen Read's defense, which argued the requests did not meet legal standards.
Special prosecutor Hank Brennan argued that Read's late-night calls to her parents were telling, suggesting that her actions indicated awareness of wrongdoing after allegedly hitting Officer O'Keefe.
Brennan claimed that calling her parents at 1:30 a.m. was particularly significant, stating: 'In the absence of any other calls, it is terribly remarkable that she is panic-calling her parents...'
Defense attorney Elizabeth Little described the prosecutors' motions as an unacceptable 'fishing expedition' and emphasized the potential privacy violations involved in accessing third-party records.
