We delve into the case of the very chatty Karen Read grand juror, who was indicted for leaking confidential grand jury information and pleaded guilty on August 4th, 2025. We discuss the initial media reports, the details of the indictment, and the common practice of grand jurors serving on multiple cases.

Find out how the leak became public, leading to serious consequences, including the loss of the leaker's job at the Department of Children and Families, a position she had worked years to achieve. The defendant communicated with a former friend, to whom she disclosed grand jury information, believing it would remain private. The government's perspective, highlighting that the defendant divulged information across several months, including witness identities, testimony topics, and even a sealed indictment before arrests were made!

The joint recommendation for a sentence of incarceration for one day (deemed served) and 24 months of supervised release, aimed at deterring similar offenses in the future.
