Hearing Thursday on buffer zone for Karen Read trial

During a special motion hearing Thursday in the Karen Read case, prosecutors will request a buffer zone near the courthouse.

This request comes as the Read case has garnished pre-trial attention, with supporters attending hearings carrying posted and wearing"Free Karen Read" shirts.at the trial, ones that would keep demonstrations back at least 500 feet from the courthouse in Dedham. The restrictions would also ban people — and animals — from wearing any attire that suggests a"favorable or unfavorable opinion of either party.

"The Commonwealth seeks to unconstitutionally infringe upon the right of the people to enjoy their full and robust rights under the First Amendment and Art. 16 of the Massachusetts Declaration of Rights, as amended by art. 77 of the Amendments to the Massachusetts Constitution," the motion reads.

Read is accused of killing her Boston police officer boyfriend in 2022. Her lawyers have alleged that she is being framed amid a massive coverup, which the prosecution has denied.
