A Look into the High-Profile Murder Case
Assistant District Attorney: John Calcagnini
Defense Attorney: Frank Gagen Jr.
Karen Read, 44, of Mansfield, Massachusetts, is currently on trial in the United States for the murder of her boyfriend, Boston police officer John O'Keefe. O'Keefe was discovered deceased in the snow in the early hours of January 29, 2023, in the Boston suburb of Canton.
Prosecutors allege that Read intentionally struck O'Keefe with her vehicle, resulting in his death. Read has pleaded not guilty to the charges and claims she is not responsible for O'Keefe's demise.
The trial has attracted significant media attention and has been marked by several controversial moments. Read initially faced manslaughter charges, which were later upgraded to second-degree murder. She has been released on bail and is currently awaiting the outcome of the trial.
The trial is expected to continue for several more weeks. Witness testimony is ongoing, and the jury is expected to deliberate at the conclusion of the proceedings.
