The prosecutor in the Karen Read murder case is seeking to obtain communications between the defendant and her lawyer, David Yannetti, claiming that the defendant has waived her attorney-client privilege. Read is accused of striking her boyfriend, John O’Keefe, with her car and leaving him to die in a snowstorm. The prosecutor is seeking all texts, emails, or written communications between Read and Yannetti during a specific time frame. The prosecutor argues that Read disclosed information about her culpability in various public interviews, thus waiving the privilege of confidentiality. He also filed for access to unedited recordings of a documentary series that featured Read and her defense team. The prosecutor claims that the access given to the documentary crew was unprecedented. The mistrial of Read’s case ended in a retrial scheduled to begin on April 1. This story is ongoing, with updates expected as more information is revealed.
