Defendant Accused of Hitting Boyfriend and Fleeing the Scene
Testimony Continues in High-Profile Case
WEB Karen Read is facing trial for the January 2022 death of her boyfriend, Boston Police officer John O'Keefe. Read is accused of driving drunk and hitting O'Keefe, then leaving him to die. The trial has entered its second day, and testimony is ongoing.
On the first day of the trial, Read's defense argued that she was the victim of a conspiracy by the Canton Police to frame her for O'Keefe's death. However, prosecutors have presented evidence that Read was intoxicated at the time of the accident and that she fled the scene.
The trial is expected to continue for several days. Read faces life in prison if convicted.
