News summary

Karen Read, accused of hitting her boyfriend Boston police officer John O'Keefe with her SUV and leaving him for dead in January 2022, is preparing for a retrial set for January 2025 after her first trial ended in a mistrial due to a deadlocked jury. In a recent interview, Read admitted to feeling angry with O'Keefe that night but firmly denied intentionally running him over, claiming she would never harm him. She described the distress she felt when O'Keefe did not return home and her subsequent search for him, ultimately finding his body in a snowbank. Prosecutors allege that Read was intoxicated and fled the scene after the incident, while her defense suggests she was framed amid a fight involving O'Keefe's friends. Read expressed the emotional toll the situation has taken on her life, describing her ongoing anxiety and stress. This case has garnered significant media attention and divided the community of Canton, Massachusetts.
