A former juror from the first Karen Read trial, attorney Victoria George, has joined her defense team! I break down the legal implications and why this is such an unusual move. One thing to note is that she was not a deliberating juror.
The First Circuit Court of Appeals has ruled against Karen Read's claim of double jeopardy, meaning she can be retried on all three charges. I explain the court's reasoning, which focused on whether a mistrial was necessary and whether a verdict had been formally rendered in the first trial.
Jury selection for the Karen Read retrial is set to begin on April 1st, 2025. I discuss the expected timeline, the challenges of selecting an impartial jury, and what to expect in the coming weeks.

| 0:00.0 | Welcome back to the Emily Show, which is our Monday podcast, breaking down everything that's going on in the law. |
| 0:07.2 | Either stories I'm not covering on stream, stories that we haven't had a chance to cover on stream in a minute, or everything that's happened between streams, because it's amazing the speed at which the cases I am covering are moving. |
| 0:20.7 | And with a travel week last week, |
| 0:22.7 | plus a very busy band mom week in my life, a lot has popped off in court. And isn't that the way |
| 0:28.1 | before trial? So today we're talking about the number one thing y'all have been asking me about, |
| 0:32.3 | which is Karen Reid's new defense attorney. I know. Is this going to impact the trial? Is this allowed? Is this strange? |
| 0:39.4 | Well, I've never seen a former juror on a trial become a attorney for the defendant on the retrial. |
| 0:46.8 | So that's new to me as well, but we're going to talk about it. We're also going to talk about that last hurdle to Karen Reed's trial starting. |
| 0:53.9 | Her attorneys had actually asked for more time because the First Circuit was still deciding |
| 0:58.0 | her case while they've decided. |
| 1:00.2 | So this case is going to be starting jury selection April 1st, which will be right after |
| 1:05.0 | this podcast drops. |
| 1:06.8 | So welcome to the very last second of March, the very last moment, because of course, everything |
| 1:15.2 | is ramping up before jury selection starts in the Karen Reed case. |
| 1:18.8 | And then as the Karen Reed case gets underway in trial, on the QuickBits YouTube channel |
| 1:24.0 | and on the audio feed, there will be daily breakdowns of what's happening |
| 1:28.1 | in the case in court the way we've done with other trials. And then the podcast on Mondays |
| 1:34.0 | will have as best I can updates on the other cases that I'm covering. Because once we get |
| 1:40.3 | into trial, it's going to be busy. That last trial was, what, 10 weeks long? |
| 1:49.8 | I think three weeks of it, we're talking about whether or not it was snowing and where everybody sat at a basketball game. |
| 2:03.6 | Let's hope it goes a little faster this time. But you know what about. I know you want the facts, so let's get into it. |
| 2:06.6 | Thank you to today's sponsor, Loomi. |
