The Karen Read Trial 2.0- (Day 11: Morning) LIVEWATCH WITH ATTORNEYS

SO FAR: Yesterday, Officer Kevin O'Hara closed the day by testifying that he and the Mass, State Police found O'Keefe's missing shoe and several pieces of Karen Read's broken taillight when they dug in the snow around the location where the victim was found. Defense tried insinuating through cross that the shoe and glass seemed too close together and open the possibility that a bad actor planted that evidence. Who does the jury trust?

WHAT TO EXPECT:
Additional State witnesses.

WHAT IT'S ABOUT:
During a long and widely watched trial last year, Karen Read was prosecuted for murder in the 2022 death of her boyfriend, Boston Police Officer John O’Keefe. Allegedly a victim of hitting him with her vehicle. Read is charged with Intentional Murder, Vehicular Manslaughter (Accidental) and Leaving the scene of a "hit and run."

The trial, which included allegations of police misconduct and of a wide-ranging conspiracy among law enforcement officers to frame Read in the killing, ended in a hung jury.

BACKGROUND:
O’Keefe, 46, had been a police officer for 16 years. He was found unresponsive on a snowy January morning outside the suburban home of Brian Albert, a now-retired Boston police sergeant.

O’Keefe was pronounced dead shortly after, and the medical examiner attributed the cause to blunt force trauma to the head and hypothermia. Read, then an equity analyst who had been dating O’Keefe for two years, was arrested in connection with his death days later.
