Karen Read has pleaded not guilty on three charges related to the 2022 death of her cop boyfriend John O'Keefe.
Karen Read's defense lawyer urged jurors to find her not guilty in the murder trial of Boston Police Officer John O'Keefe, arguing there was no collision with her SUV
Prosecutor Hank Brennan opened his closing argument by saying Read callously decided to leave O’Keefe dying in the snow, fully aware that he was gravely injured. He described that decision as “a choice” to let O’Keefe die. He also said Read was well beyond the legal alcohol limit when she drove at the time.
A broken taillight. A dead cop. A bombshell admission. The jury is now deliberating over whether Karen Read killed John O'Keefe.
