The first week of jury selection in the Karen Read trial comes to a close on Friday inside Norfolk Superior Court in Dedham, Massachusetts. Ten jurors have been seated so far to start the final day of jury selection this week.

As jury selection continues for the second trial of Karen Read, her team is pursuing every avenue to have the murder charge against her dismissed.

Court officials have said they aim to seat a total of 16 jurors for Karen Read's upcoming trial, including four alternates.

Karen Read's lawyers told the Supreme Court they have “powerful evidence that the jury in her prior trial found her not guilty” on two counts.

If the Supreme Court decides to take up Karen Read's appeal, prosecutors would likely respond at a later stage of the process.

Read's lawyers are seeking to ensure that "Read is not unconstitutionally forced to stand trial for criminal offenses, including murder, of which she has already been acquitted," according to court papers.
