Karen Read's supporters​ have been making silent hand gestures to her instead of cheering when she enters and exits court.

Karen Read supporters gathered outside a Dedham courthouse in support of Read during the first full day of jury deliberations in her murder retrial.

A large crowd of supporters gathered outside a Dedham courthouse, expressing optimism and some concern as they awaited a verdict.

Ronald Estanislao was a member of the jury during Read's first trial and says he is watching history repeat itself.

The same issue arose at Read’s first trial: multiple jurors, in the wake of Cannone declaring a mistrial, reported to Read’s defense that they agreed to acquit her on two of the three counts, but they didn’t know they could return a partial verdict. That led to a lengthy appeals fight that was appealed to but not taken up by the U.S. Supreme Court.
