Karen Read's second murder trial is moving ahead as scheduled.
Thursday, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the First Circuit denied Read's federal appeal in an attempt to get two charges against her thrown out.
Read is charged with second-degree murder for allegedly hitting and killing her boyfriend, Boston Police Officer John O'Keefe, with her SUV in Canton back in 2022.
Her first trial ended in a mistrial with a hung jury.
Read's second trial is scheduled to begin on Tuesday with jury selection which is expected to take weeks.
