Grand Juror Charged with Leaking Confidential Information from High-Profile Murder Trial

A federal grand juror has been charged with leaking confidential information related to the high-profile Karen Read murder trial. Jessica Leslie, a member of the grand jury pool, was accused of sharing details about the sealed testimony and evidence presented during the proceeding.

According to court documents, Leslie allegedly shared the names of witnesses who testified before the panel, as well as details from their statements and other evidence that was under seal. The alleged leaks were carried out between May 26, 2022, and July 5, 2024, a period spanning over two years.

The grand juror’s actions have sparked widespread concern among legal experts and officials in the region. Many believe that this type of leaking can undermine the integrity of the judicial system and compromise the fairness of criminal trials.

Karen Read, who is accused of murdering her former boyfriend John O’Keefe in 2022, had her trial conclude with a not-guilty verdict. However, she still faces a wrongful death lawsuit brought by the O’Keefe family.
