Watch the full coverage of the live stream on The Emily D. Baker YouTube channel: https://youtu.be/Q6X5fgMQG2k During a July 13, 2026, criminal court hearing, defense attorney Alan Jackson argued for the disqualification of special prosecutor Mr. Cosgrove from any further involvement regarding Karen Read's cell phone search warrant and witness intimidation investigation. Jackson contended that Cosgrove breached the required standard of prosecutorial independence by admitting coordination with the conflicted Norfolk County District Attorney's Office. In response, Cosgrove argued that Read lacks standing because there is no actual conflict, as his prosecution focuses on Aidan Kearney rather than Read. He further attempted to discredit the defense by citing prior judicial findings regarding a lack of candor. Ultimately, the judge took the matter under advisement amid ongoing discovery disputes over why Read's cell phones have not yet been returned despite multiple court orders.
