Security for Karen Read's first trial cost Massachusetts State Police more than a quarter of a million dollars.

The State Police security involved uniformed troopers monitoring the crowds of pink-clad demonstrators who came out in support of Read, as well as counter protestors. They also directed traffic, and patrolled the outside of the courthouse.

Prosecutors in the Karen Read case are requesting additional data from the defendant’s SUV that they argue would further bolster their case, pinpointing the vehicle’s “precise locations” the morning that former Boston police officer John O’Keefe died.
