BELCHERTOWN, Mass. (WWLP) - Protestors held signs across the state ahead of Karen Read's second murder trial. As jury selection for Karen Read's second trial starts on Tuesday, standouts took place across the country. A group of supporters held signs outside Hampshire County District Court on Su nday, demanding justice for the suspected murderer of Boston Police Officer John O'Keefe.  Karen Read’s final pretrial hearing being held Tuesday Denise Paquin of Barre is an advocate for Read. She expressed her disappointment with the outcome of the first trial, pointing to what she believed were inconsistencies in the state's case. "I don't understand why they didn't come back with a not guilty verdict," Paquin said. "To me, there seemed to be an awful lot of discrepancies." Protests were also seen in other communities around the state.  Read's second trial will also come with a change in her counsel. Victoria George, an alternate juror to Read's first trial, will now be added as one of her attorneys.  Read's defense team claims she's being framed for the murder. Some supporters of the "Free Karen Read" movement believe the police are at the root of the framing and more should be done at the top. "I think Colonel Noble really needs to restructure the State Police," Paquin said. Prosecutors argue that Read is the only person who could have killed O'Keefe. 22News will provide updates on the Karen Read case on air and online.
