Jury selection for Karen Read’s retrial on murder and other charges in the death of her Boston police officer boyfriend, John O’Keefe, resumes Thursday with just one more seat to fill.
The court requires 12 deliberating jurors and four alternates.
At the end of the day on Wednesday, there were 15 people chosen, clearing the way for an expected start to opening statements next week.
Auditors found a series of shortcomings and flaws but no signs of a coordinated effort to frame Read for the crime by the Canton Police Department.
The lead investigator, former Massachusetts State Trooper Michael Proctor, lost his job last month after an internal review looked into his behavior after the revelation at Read’s first trial that he sent lewd text messages with details about the active investigation to people who were not privy to sensitive law enforcement proceedings.
The trial is expected to take six to eight weeks once the full jury is seated.
Jury selection began on April 1.
