More than 100 potential jurors will fill a Dedham courtroom Tuesday morning for the start of jury selection in Karen Read’s second trial — a process that will almost certainly take several weeks given the intense publicity surrounding the case.
In all, 275 potential jurors were summoned to Norfolk Superior Court for each day of the first week of jury selection, April 1 through April 4 — a higher than normal number due to the nature of the Read case. If a jury is not empaneled by the end of the first week of selection, 243 jurors have been summoned each day for the week of April 7 and beyond, according to a spokesperson for the trial courts.
