On April 1, 2025, jury selection commenced for the retrial of Karen Read, who is accused of second-degree murder in the 2022 death of her boyfriend, Boston police officer John O'Keefe. The process began with 92 potential jurors entering Norfolk Superior Court in Dedham, Massachusetts. Judge Beverly Cannone addressed the group, explaining the case's nature and the importance of impartiality. During preliminary questioning, 78 admitted to prior knowledge of the case, and 40 had already formed opinions, highlighting the challenge of assembling an unbiased jury given the case's extensive media coverage.
By the end of the day, two jurors—one man and one woman—were seated after individual interviews and questionnaire assessments. The court aims to select a total of 16 jurors, comprising 12 primary jurors and four alternates. Judge Cannone indicated that the trial is expected to last between six to eight weeks. To ensure the jury's impartiality, she expanded the buffer zone outside the courthouse to prevent demonstrators' influence, responding to reports from the first trial where jurors overheard protests during deliberations
