A lawyer for a woman accused of killing her Boston police officer boyfriend says a key prosecution witness conducted an incriminating internet search hours before the body was discovered. Karen Read is accused of striking John O’Keefe with her SUV in January 2022 and leaving him for dead in a snowbank in Canton, Massachusetts.

Defendant Karen Read looks at witness Jen McCabe as she McCabe takes the witness stand to testify during Read’s murder trail, Wednesday, May 22, 2024,, at Dedham Superior Court in Dedham, Mass. Read is facing charges including second degree murder in the 2022 death of her boyfriend Boston Officer John O’Keefe.

But Read’s attorney showed jurors cellphone data Wednesday that suggested McCabe also did an internet search for variations of “how long to die in cold” four hours earlier. Jackson said it was “awfully convenient” that McCabe disavowed the search, which he said would exonerate his client. He also pressed McCabe on why she told grand jurors a dozen times that Read said, “Did I hit him?” or “Could I have hit him,” and not the definitive, “I hit him” that she now says she heard.
