Karen Read’s second trial began with jury selection on April 1, 2025, and prosecutors are already raising concerns about how her involvement in true crime documentaries may taint the proceedings. In newly filed court documents, the state argues that Read’s participation in shows like A Body in the Snow could influence public perception and potential jurors. They claim these media appearances contain out-of-court statements that could unfairly shape the narrative and undermine a fair trial.


Read’s defense counters that the prosecution is trying to weaponize media coverage to silence her and distract from the misconduct of law enforcement involved in the original investigation. Central to their argument is former State Trooper Michael Proctor, who is expected to testify despite having been fired for sending vile, biased texts about Read during the first trial. With media attention growing and a mistrial already behind them, both sides are preparing for a courtroom battle where public opinion and institutional trust are on trial just as much as Read herself.
