DEDHAM, Mass. (AP) — Prosecutors in Massachusetts say they plan to retry Karen Read for the death of her Boston police officer boyfriend. She’s accused of striking him with her SUV and leaving him to die in a snowstorm. The judge declared a mistrial after jurors said they were at an impasse and that deliberating more would be futile. But Read’s defense now says four jurors said they unanimously agreed to acquit her of murder and leaving the scene where John O’Keefe died. They want the judge to prevent prosecutors from trying her again on those charges. Both sides will be back in court July 22.
