Boston Police Commissioner Michael Cox is firing back after Karen Read’s defense attorney accused him of telling “a bald-faced lie” about his knowledge of the infamous case.

In a scathing letter to Mayor Michelle Wu last week, Alan Jackson called for a disciplinary review over Cox’s remarks about Kelly Dever , a former Boston police officer who testified during Read’s second trial. He also demanded Cox be referred for immediate inclusion on Suffolk County prosecutors’ Brady list, which is used to track law enforcement officials whose credibility has been called into question.

Jackson’s demands centered on comments Cox made to reporters in July, when he denied pressuring Dever into changing her testimony and claimed he didn’t even know she was associated with the case.
