Lawyers on either side of the Karen read murder process are forbidden to share prejudices outside the court.
Judge Beverly Cannone of Norfolk Superior Court published the GAG command on Friday in a victory for special public prosecutor Hank Brennan.
Read is confronted with a second murder process from 1 April, accused of Boston's police officer, John O'Keefe with her SUV on January 29, 2022.

Her first murder process ended with a hung jury on July 1 and the new process was only a few weeks away, which is likely to be gekked again by her army of supporters.
Brennan asked for the GAG command to limit what the lawyers of Reads outside the court said after they had complained that they were witnesses awaiting and wrongly undermined his case.
He also had the problems with Read himself was allowed to reveal what happened during the major jury procedure, which are secret.
Brennan said: “The continuous, deliberate, targeted poisoning of the potential jury pool is not only wrong and unfair, it must be stopped.”

Judge Cannone broke back an earlier request because no test date had been established, but this time it accepted the test start.
“Based on these interviews and the consistent, publicly reported interactions of the defense with reporters and bloggers during the first trial, the court agrees with the Commonwealth,” she ruled.
“An order that restricts extrajudicial statements from the counselor is suitable and necessary to guarantee a fair and impartial lawsuit and believes that there is no reasonable, less restrictive alternative to the order available.”
Read, however, will still be free to say what she wants, what she fourth by saying: 'I like to talk. I like to reveal the truth 'after the hearing.
Cannone last month ended the procedure dramatically with a shaky courtroom erupting, with reference to 'proof' that she said everything is changing.
The evidence with regard to claims that the defense has in secret expert witnesses witnesses that the jury believed they were working independently.
“The implications of that information can have far-reaching effects on this defense and defense advisor,” she said the court.

Before Cannone called on the unplanned break, Brennan revealed in court that Read's Defense Team had communicated with experts in the field of reconstruction of accidents of ARCCA Inc. hired by the FBI about their testimony before the first process of Read.
Brennan read what E -mails seemed to be between the defense and ArcCa and pointed to a $ 23,925 account of which he said the ArcCA sent to the defense.
“The Commonwealth, as I understand, was not aware of promised rewards or incentives or payments,” said Brennan. “They trusted a mutual discovery order of this court for that information.”
Cannone, who visibly vibrated as she spoke, said the Bombshell -Payment request and said: “The Commonwealth has only given the court information that causes me serious concern.
'The implications of that information can have far-reaching effects on this defense and defense advisor.
“So for that reason I'm going to suspend today so that when we meet again to tackle these problems, all affected are prepared in the right way.”
Judge Cannone had previously declared a mistrial in July last year after jury members were unable to reach a unanimous judgment before he ruled that reading could be recovered at all three charges.
Lawyer Robert Alessi makes a heated point in court for the read defense team
Special public prosecutor Hank Brennan asked for the GAG command to limit what the lawyers of Reads outside the court said they complained that they were confused witnesses and wrongly undermined his case
Within the e -mails, the director of ARCCA of Accident Wederbouwbouw Daniel Wolfe also praised the questions of lawyers of the defense Alan Jackson and reportedly written: “If you don't want me to say this, that's fine,” said Boston.com.
“That is not a process per ambush, that is cheated,” said Brennan. 'I don't care if the arcca witnesses witnesses during the process. I don't care about their opinion. But I care that it is unfair, unbalanced and hidden. '
Read also submitted a Habeas Corpus Claim to the American court in Boston and asked to reject two of her charges. The judge still has to say about this.
Last week the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court rejected the motion to reject both counts after Read's lawyers had unofficially agreed to release her in her first trial in her first trial to release her of a fatal accident, Boston.com reported.
The defense also argued that admission to all charges would violate the double dangerous protection of Read.
Read was accused of ramming her Boston Police Officer friend with her SUV while she was drunk in January 2022 before he let him die in a snowstorm
Read's lawyers argued that researchers focused on Read because she was a 'handy outsider' who saved them to regard law enforcement officers as suspects
Read was accused of second -degree murder, manslaughter and leaving the scene of crime after the death of her friend John O'Keefe.
According to autopsy results, O'Keefe died of hypothermia and blunt strength trauma.
Read's lawyers have portrayed her as the victim and say that O'Keefe was actually killed in Albert's house and then dragged out.
They argued that researchers concentrated on reading because she was a 'handy outsider' who saved them to regard law enforcers as suspects.
The defense of Read said that their theory that she was framed in a huge conspiracy of the police, was supported by SMS -Trooper Michael Proctor – who led the investigation into the death of O'Keefe – about Read, which he reads out loud before the court last summer.
In the reports, Proctor Read a 'Wack Job' and a 'C ** t' and called her a 'babe' with 'no a **', while she also made light from her 'Fall River accent'.
In other messages he joked about sniffing her phone for nude photos during the examination.
Proctor claimed that “these juvenile, unprofessional comments had no impact on the facts, the evidence and integrity of the investigation.”
Read's lawyer Martin Weinberg argued that five jury members later said they were only aware of the number of manslaughter.
Public Prosecutors were satisfied that there was no basis for rejecting the charges of second -degree murder and leaving the scene. They argued that her lawyers should have felt a mistrial
He added that they were unanimously agreed in the jury room that she was not guilty of the accusations of second -degree murder and leaving the stage.
But they hadn't told the judge.
Read told Boston 25 News that she is ready for a second test and is not worried about who is in the follow -up team.
“I don't care with whom I have been confronted,” she told the station. “I have the truth. I have the best lawyers. Do your worst. '
Reading could end in prison – a fate that she said she “thinks about it after every day,” but she said, “It doesn't worry me like it did three years ago.”
Weinberg had encouraged the court to allow a evidence where jury members could be asked if they had reached the final non -culprit statements about one of the charges.
Public Prosecutors were satisfied that there was no basis for rejecting the charges of second -degree murder and leaving the scene.
They argued that her lawyers should have felt a mistrial 'inevitable or inevitable' and that they had every opportunity to be heard in the courtroom of the trial.
