Karen Read retrial begins April 1 with 91 witnesses

News summary

Karen Read’s retrial for the alleged murder of Boston Police Officer John O’Keefe is set to begin on April 1, with her defense team submitting a list of 91 potential witnesses, including recently fired Trooper Michael Proctor. Proctor, who had been the lead investigator in the case, was terminated due to policy violations, including sending derogatory messages about Read and sharing sensitive case information. The defense aims to portray Read as a victim, asserting that O’Keefe was killed inside a home and later left outside, contrary to the prosecution's claim that she struck him with her vehicle. Proctor's involvement in the case remains crucial, as both parties have listed him as a potential witness, despite his controversial conduct during the investigation. The defense's list also includes members of the Albert and McCabe families, who are central to their conspiracy theory, and various experts. As the retrial approaches, the judge will consider pending motions, including a request to delay the trial.
