DEDHAM – Lawyers for Karen Read are looking to get their hands on Norfolk County District Attorney Michael Morrissey’s personal emails and phone records.
A defense filing made Thursday asked the court to order the prosecution to produce all communications made by Morrissey “from his personal email address and/or cell phone that constitute material and relevant evidence in this matter.”
The defense says that Morrissey used his personal email to contact Stoughton District Court personnel and judges about the witnesses intimidation case against Aidan Kearney, the blogger known as “Turtleboy” who is covering Read’s case.
WBZ-TV has reached out to Morrissey’s office for comment. “The DA’s office has no comment because the case is pending,” a spokesperson said. “Any response will be made in court.”
Read’s attorneys also filed to get transcripts of courtroom sidebar discussions that took place during the first trial. The prosecution, meanwhile, revealed this week it seeking unredacted audio recordings, notes and texts between Read and a reporter for a 2023 interview with Boston Magazine.
