Black Foreman: The Inside Story of the Karen Read Trial [9781668265697]

Overview

The searing inside story of the Commonwealth v. Karen Read trial from the perspective of the man who held the fate of the trial in his hands, perfect for true crime fanatics, armchair detectives, and TikTok investigators.

On the morning of April 1, 2025, Charlie DeLoach didn’t know Karen Read. He knew of her only in passing—a white woman accused of killing her boyfriend, a Boston police officer whose body was found in the snow. That was it. By the end of the trial, Charlie would know far more than he ever expected, and her fate would ultimately rest in his hands.

As jury foreman in the widely publicized Commonwealth v. Karen Read case, DeLoach recounts one of the most controversial murder trials in recent memory from a perspective rarely explored. Black Foreman is not the story of a defendant, an investigator, or a journalist—it is the story of a Black man from Boston placed at the center of the justice system and charged with rendering judgment.

Filtered through a lifetime of witnessing how policing, credibility, and institutional authority operate for Black Americans, DeLoach’s experience offers a singular and urgent lens. His awareness of historical patterns of bias and misconduct fundamentally shapes how the trial unfolds, making Black Foreman a distinctive and timely contribution to true crime and cultural nonfiction.
