A Massachusetts attorney who served as an alternate juror in the mistrial of Karen Read last year has joined her defense in her second murder trial.

In her only interview, Victoria George told VF, “I waited for nearly a year after the mistrial, hoping the court system would work as intended to remedy some of the wrongs in this case.”

Read is accused of killing her boyfriend, a Boston cop, in 2022. She maintains she was framed by police. Here's a refresher on the case — and a look at what's happened since last year's mistrial.
