Prosecutors Seek Phone Records in Karen Read Case

Prosecutors in the Karen Read murder case are intensifying their efforts to obtain evidence by requesting phone records from Read's mother, Janet, and father, William, for late December 2021 to January 2022. This request aims to uncover potential impeachment evidence related to Karen's varying statements after allegedly hitting her boyfriend, John O’Keefe, with her SUV. The prosecution has already secured Karen Read's phone records and seeks to compare them with her parents' to investigate inconsistencies. Additionally, they are requesting access to un-aired footage from media interviews with the Reads to further support their case. Karen Read's defense criticized these moves as a 'fishing expedition.' Prosecutors plan to call William Read as a witness in the upcoming trial to address conflicting statements he reportedly made about the incident.
