For the second time in a week, Judge Beverly Cannone denied Karen Read's attorneys' request for a mistrial after they accused the prosecution of misconduct.

Karen Read will not take the witness stand in the second trial about the death of her Boston police officer boyfriend as the defense has rested.

For weeks, all appearances were that prosecutors would call witnesses as part of a brief rebuttal case in the Karen Read retrial, giving them the opportunity to get the last word after damaging testimony from expert witnesses for the defense.

Read’s lawyers again asked Judge Beverly Cannone to issue a finding of not guilty before the case even gets to the jury.
