Just as she oversaw Read’s initial trial last summer, Cannone will preside over January's highly anticipated retrial. The post Judge Beverly Cannone back on the bench for Karen Read’s retrial appeared first on Boston.

BOSTON (WWLP) – Judge Beverly Cannone is set to preside again over January’s Karen Read murder retrial. Judge Cannone oversaw Read’s first murder trial for the death of her boyfriend, Boston Police Officer John O’Keefe. It ended in a mistrial when the jury couldn’t come to a verdict.

Norfolk County Judge Beverly Cannone, who declared a mistrial in the first Karen Read trial, will return to the bench for the second trial, according to the state’s Trial Court.
