Jurors begin deliberations in Karen Read's second murder trial after Friday's closing arguments and judicial instructions from Judge Beverly Cannone.

It took eight weeks and dozens of witnesses, but on Friday, Karen Read's retrial shifted to its most critical phase: jury deliberations.

Judge Beverly Cannone also denied the defense team’s motion for a mistrial based on what Read’s lawyers called “intentional misconduct” from prosecutor Hank Brennan.

The defense rested its case Wednesday, saying Read was framed for the killing of her Boston police officer boyfriend.

Crash reconstruction expert Dr. Daniel Wolfe testifies that damage to Karen Read's 2021 Lexus SUV taillight is inconsistent with hitting John O'Keefe.

Both sides in Karen Read’s murder retrial appeared in court Thursday for a hearing before they deliver closing arguments to jurors on Friday. The hearing is known as a charge conference, where the parties hash out instructions the jury will receive before they start deliberating. Jurors weren’t present for Thursday’s proceedings.

For the second time in less than a week, Karen Read's defense team called for a mistrial in her retrial. Here's what else happened on day 29.
