High court denies Karen Read's double jeopardy claim

• Read faces charges of second-degree murder, manslaughter and leaving the scene of a crash.

Why it matters: The decision means Read's high-profile murder case is still on track to be retried in April 2025.

Zoom in: Despite jurors' post-trial statements about their private deliberations on two of the charges, the court determined they never reached a real verdict, so Read doesn't face a double jeopardy situation.

Catch up quick: Prosecutors allege Read hit O'Keefe with her SUV during a snowstorm in January 2022 and left him to die.

• She says she was framed to cover up that law enforcement officers were actually responsible for O'Keefe's death.
