Karen Read Hearing of May 24, 2023

Karen Read Hearing of Wednesday, May 24, 2023 in its entirety .

A quickly scheduled hearing called by the DA's office coming just before the long scheduled hearing of May 25th happened on Wednesday, May 24th 2023 at 10AM. The State moved to not allow the defense subpoenas of the phones of Jennifer McCabe and Brian Albert and to not allow either to testify at the May 25 hearing. Lawyers for both McCable and Albert objected to the defense's subpoenas. The State DA's office also objected. The attorneys for Karen Read said the material was evidence and material to the case, was specific in time frame, and was not a broad ''fishing expedition" as they said was characterized by the DA's office. The judge agreed with the DA's office, eliminating the need for a hearing on May 25th. The next hearing is scheduled for July 25, 2023 at 2pm. Canton Community intends to cover that hearing LIVE. 

Canton Community Tv was there. This is the hearing of Wednesday, May 24th in its entirety. You can see the video of this hearing here:
