Karen Read case: Judge to hear arguments on motion to dismiss
The defense said in the motion that one piece of evidence withheld in the first trial is a video clip showing someone approaching the taillight of Read's SUV while it entered an area at the Canton Police Station on Jan. 29, 2022. Prosecutors didn't provide the defense with that footage until January 2025.
