Karen Read’s defense team says jurors were unanimous on acquitting her of murder

Defense lawyers for Karen Read say jurors unanimously concluded she was not guilty of murder or leaving the scene of a deadly accident, and were deadlocked on the remaining manslaughter charge before a mistrial was declared. The disclosure was made Monday in a defense motion to dismiss two charges against the woman accused of hitting her Boston police officer boyfriend with her SUV and leaving him for dead in a snowstorm. Read's lawyers say they're aware of three jurors who described their conclusions. They want permission to question all 12 as they push against a retrial on the deadlocked charges. They say trying her again for murder would be unconstitutional double jeopardy.
