Attorneys for Karen Read​ are seeking a variety of evidence from the state ahead of her second trial, including unredacted documents from the investigation into the death of Sandra Birchmore​.

Karen Read's case has drawn frequent comparisons to that of Sandra Birchmore, who federal prosecutors say was killed by a former police officer who groomed and assaulted her.

Lawyers for Karen Read on Monday asked the judge presiding over the sensational case to order prosecutors to turn over a “forensically sound” copy of video footage of her SUV in a Canton police sallyport area, arguing the material could contain exculpatory information.
