Massachusetts Man Charged in 'Duckgate' Witness Intimidation Case

Richard Schiffer Jr. faces charges for allegedly using rubber ducks and fake currency to support Karen Read, accused of killing her boyfriend.

Richard Schiffer Jr. is accused of witness intimidation, harassment, and littering in connection with the Karen Read murder trial.
Schiffer allegedly distributed rubber ducks and fake $100 bills with messages supporting Read and implicating others in the case.
The incidents occurred in Canton, Massachusetts, where the murder of Boston Police Officer John O'Keefe took place.
Read's trial ended in a mistrial, and she is set for retrial in January on charges of killing O'Keefe with her SUV.
Schiffer and other Read supporters claim their actions are protected by the First Amendment, arguing Read was framed.
