Within hours of a mistrial being declared in the Karen Read murder trial, Massachusetts State Police announced that Trooper Michael Proctor, the lead…

had been relieved of duty and reassigned from his role as an investigator with the Norfolk District Attorney's Office.to determine his work status during the ongoing internal affairs investigation. His car, gun and gear have been taken away, which is standard practice.

The trooper's fate with the department will be determined by an internal investigation and the state's POST Commission, which handles allegations of police misconduct. Sources tell the NBC10 Boston Investigators Proctor is also part of a federal probe looking into the handling of the case.Security expert Todd McGhee, a former trooper with the Massachusetts State Police, says if the POST Commission puts on the Brady List, any testimony he makes will essentially be "useless.

"The world is watching how this case plays out," he said."So I believe there's going to be very little options available other than what the trial board and the duty status hearing will yield with results."
