The sound of the air conditioning and fans inside Norfolk Superior Court in Dedham have been an issue throughout both of Read's trials. Often during the first trial, when witnesses were testifying, their words could not be heard clearly in the courtroom because of the sound coming from the units, so Cannone ordered them to be turned off.

(WJAR) — Testimony continues in the Karen Read murder trial on Wednesday. This is a day after the judge denied the defense’s motion for a mistrial. The first trial ended in a mistrial. The Bristol County woman is accused of killing her Boston police officer boyfriend John O’Keefe by backing her SUV at him during a snowstorm in 2022.
