Karen Read Murder Trial Jury Deliberates Verdict
News summary

Jurors are deliberating the fate of Karen Read, accused of killing her boyfriend, Boston police officer John O’Keefe, by hitting him with her SUV after a night of drinking in January 2022. Prosecutors argue Read drunkenly struck O'Keefe and left him to die in the snow, supported by her alleged admission, ‘I hit him.’ The defense contends that O'Keefe was beaten inside a house and his body placed outside, framing Read to cover up the real crime. The trial, which has captivated public attention, saw more than 70 witnesses and multiple juror dismissals. Read faces charges including second-degree murder and vehicular manslaughter, with the possibility of life in prison if convicted.
