DEDHAM, MASS. (WHDH) - To begin a new week in the Karen Read murder retrial, the defense got a small victory after Judge Beverly Cannone allowed them to submit derogatory texts that were sent by lead investigator and now fired Massachusetts State Trooper Michael Proctor, without having to call Proctor as a witness. The prosecution pressed back on the ruling, arguing that Proctor should be called to verify his own words and text messages. Three witnesses were called by the defense on Monday.
