What immediate impact did Karen Read's media interviews have on the second trial's progression, considering the jury's questions and focus on specific charges?

Karen Read, accused of killing her boyfriend in a hit-and-run, gave multiple media interviews after her first trial ended in a mistrial. These interviews, deemed ill-advised by some legal experts, may have influenced the jury's focus on a lesser charge of operating under the influence (OUI). Jurors asked several questions about the OUI charge, suggesting her strategy might be paying off.
