The Bigger Picture
The Karen Read retrial has become more than just a criminal proceeding; it has morphed into a referendum on law enforcement accountability and the transparency of the Massachusetts justice system.
Supporters of Read have staged public rallies and spread awareness online with hashtags like #FreeKarenRead, arguing that she’s a scapegoat in a far-reaching cover-up.
“This case is about more than one woman—it’s about what happens when those in power protect their own,” said one protester outside the courthouse.
Stay tuned as more revelations emerge that could determine whether Karen Read is guilty, or the victim of a massive miscarriage of justice.
