Pretrial Hearing Begins in Karen Read Murder Case

Karen Read's retrial for the alleged murder of her boyfriend, Boston police officer John O'Keefe, is set to begin on April 1, following a mistrial last July. Read is accused of intentionally backing her SUV into O'Keefe after a night of drinking, leading to his death in a snowstorm. In the lead-up to the retrial, both the prosecution and defense are filing numerous motions regarding evidence and witness testimonies, with the defense asserting that Read is a victim of a conspiracy involving law enforcement. Concurrently, a new docuseries titled 'A Body in the Snow: The Trial of Karen Read' is airing, allowing her to share her side of the story and claim her innocence. The series aims to provide insight into the case and the perceptions surrounding it, including the defense's argument that O'Keefe was involved in a fight with fellow officers before his death. As the trial approaches, media coverage continues to highlight the complexities and controversies surrounding the case.
