Karen Read’s Lawyers Claim Double Jeopardy: New Trial Unfair After Jury’s Unclear Verdict
Karen’s lawyers say that the jury should not be trying her again because they already made a decision. They think the jury decided to say Karen was not guilty of two of the serious charges, but they didn’t tell the judge which ones. Karen’s lawyers think this means she can’t be tried again for those charges. The police disagree and think Karen should face all the charges again.
