The Karen Read Murder Trial: Canton Confidential - A podcast by NBC10 Boston

The sides in the Karen Read murder trial have one last chance to persuade the jury, but before their closing arguments, we got a sneak peek during important preparations in court. The defense is taking a new strategy on its third-party culprit claims and made some new requests of the judge, while making a somewhat rare request for the jury to consider a lesser charge. The prosecution, meanwhile, insisted the defense experts conflicted. Our experts, including attorney and YouTube analyst Emily D. Baker, dig into how the well-known theories involving the case may or may not come up in closing arguments, what Judge Cannone said about the jury slips and how the final days in court set the stage for deliberations.
