In the Karen Read murder case, significant developments have occurred regarding courthouse security measures for the upcoming trial. Supporters of Karen Read have challenged the constitutionality of a proposed buffer zone outside the Norfolk Superior Court, arguing against the state's request for such a measure. The ACLU has shown interest in the case, seeking to file an amicus brief concerning the prosecutors' request for a 500-foot buffer zone. Despite the controversy, Judge Cannone has expressed support for a buffer zone but deemed the requested 500-foot distance excessive. Instead, she has decided to implement a buffer zone, specifying that no individual may demonstrate within 200 feet of the Courthouse Complex during the trial. This decision aims to balance the need for courtroom security with the rights of protesters.
