The jury in the high-profile Karen Read murder trial asked the presiding judge a question that suggests they might be leaning toward an acquittal on most charges.

Jurors asked Judge Beverly Cannone if they would be considered a hung jury if they were able to find Read not guilty of two charges but unable to decide on a third.

Cannone said she couldn’t respond.

“To me, it’s a theoretical question and we don’t answer theoretical questions,” the judge responded. “I tell the jurors they’re not to be concerned with the consequences of their verdict.”

Read, 45, is accused of striking her Boston cop boyfriend with her car and leaving him for dead outside a house party in January 2022. She’s facing second-degree murder and manslaughter charges, as well as related counts.

This is her second trial after the first ended in a mistrial last year.
