Attorneys for Karen Read​ are seeking a variety of evidence from the state ahead of her second trial, including unredacted documents from the investigation into the death of Sandra Birchmore​.

Karen Read's case has drawn frequent comparisons to that of Sandra Birchmore, who federal prosecutors say was killed by a former police officer who groomed and assaulted her.

Lawyers for Karen Read on Monday asked the judge presiding over the sensational case to order prosecutors to turn over a “forensically sound” copy of video footage of her SUV in a Canton police sallyport area, arguing the material could contain exculpatory information.

Karen Read's defense asked the court for permission to visit the former home of John O'Keefe and permission to delay releasing certain pieces of evidence to the prosecution, citing a profane message from an investigator.
