#KarenRead tells reporters she will not testify to the jurors are her murder retrial. "They've heard a lot of me," she says. I asked her if she is still arguing a third-party culprit defense or just a Bowden defense (inadequate police investigation).

#KarenRead As I look at jury, I notice two of the jurors appear to have switched seats. A man who was seated nearest the witness stand is now seated in the back row near the middle. The woman who was in that seat has moved to the one closest to the witness stand. @WCVB
