Not only has Read pleaded not guilty to murder, among other charges, her legal team argued Read was framed by an influential family who lived in the Canton, Massachusetts, home, as part of a top-to-bottom cover-up.
The lead investigator, Massachusetts State Trooper Michael Proctor, a friend of the homeowner, allegedly "searched (Read's) phone (for) nude photos" without a warrant and texted his friend on his personal phone that he "hoped (Read) would kill herself," Read's lawyer, David Yannetti said Monday morning.
