Judge Beverly Cannone gave jurors in Karen Read’s second murder trial the day off Thursday, as lawyers look to hash out the final details of the criminal proceedings. The defense and prosecution are meeting for a “charging conference” where they will discuss the instructions Cannone will give to jurors before they begin deliberations in the case.

Karen Read returns to court after last year's murder trial ended with a hung jury in the death of her police officer boyfriend, John O'Keefe.
