Prosecutors in the Karen Read case are asking a judge to exclude testimony from the defense team's digital expert, Richard Green.

DEDHAM – Special prosecutor Hank Brennan, who was brought in for Karen Read's upcoming second trial, is asking the court to exclude testimony about witness Jen McCabe's "ho [w] long to die in cold" Google search that was a sticking point of controversy in the first trial.

The prosecutors in the retrial of Karen Read want to keep out the testimony of a digital forensics expert who alleged that a friend of John O’Keefe’s searched “hos long to die in cold” on Google. Read’s first trial in the death of her Boston police officer boyfriend O’Keefe ended in a mistrial on July 1.

Prosecutors argue in a motion that Richard Green's testimony is not based on fact and would only confuse the jury in Karen Read's retrial.
