Karen Read<\/strong> is heading back to court for round two — a judge just greenlit a second murder trial in the death of her BF, John O’Keefe<\/strong> … weeks after declaring it a mistrial following a hung jury.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

Massachusetts Judge Beverly Cannone<\/strong> has penciled in Read\u2019s retrial for January 27, 2025 … dropping the news Monday in front of both the prosecution and defense attorneys.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

The date isn’t locked in yet because Read’s lawyer, David Yannetti<\/strong>, mentioned to Judge Cannone he’s got another trial lined up right before then.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

But, Read’s retrial might not even go down … Cannone said she’ll be hearing arguments August 9 on a defense motion to dismiss the case, and she’s expecting an earful from both sides before making her ruling.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

The move comes after Read’s lawyer, Alan Jackson<\/strong>, argued earlier this month a retrial would amount to double jeopardy.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

He argued in the legal docs the judge should\u2019ve acquitted Read — accused of drunkenly running over Jackson in ’22 — on both the murder charge and the charge of leaving the scene causing injury and death … because the jury unanimously found her \u201cnot guilty\u201d<\/strong><\/a> on those charges.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n
