Norfolk Superior Court Judge Beverly Cannone has been sued for reinstating a buffer zone, limiting Karen Read supporters from demonstrating outside the Dedham courthouse.

DEDHAM, Mass. — Four Massachusetts residents are suing Judge Beverly Cannone over her decision to reinstate a 200-foot buffer zone outside Dedham’s Norfolk Superior Court for the retrial of Karen Read, arguing that their “constitutional guarantees” to protest have been violated.

An anti-protester "buffer zone" around the Norfolk Superior Court where Karen Read is on trial in the death of John O'Keefe is challenged in a federal lawsuit.
