The sides in the Karen Read murder trial have one last chance to persuade the jury, but before their closing arguments, we got a sneak peek during important preparations in court. The defense is taking a new strategy on its third-party culprit claims and made some new requests of the judge, while making a somewhat rare request for the jury to consider a lesser charge.

Plus, a juror's surprise note for the judge, how the jury appears to be holding on with the end finally in sight and whether the defense will
