In the Karen Read wrongful death case, the court denied Read’s emergency motion to reconsider and vacate the stay on former State Trooper Michael Proctor's deposition. Although Read's counsel argued that the court's original stay was based on a mistaken timeline regarding a leaked June 8th social media post, the court shifted its focus to a June 25th post by "Turtleboy" containing private details of Proctor allegedly suffering a panic attack during his deposition. While Proctor's attorneys accused Read's team of harassing questioning and leaking information, Read's defense asserted the leak came from a public bystander or security camera. Ultimately, the judge upheld the discovery stay due to ongoing privacy concerns, rejected an unrequested "notice pleading" tracking the parties' failed negotiations, and proposed a strict protective order to prevent further dissemination of sensitive deposition materials.
