What was Karen Read's blood alcohol level on the day John O'Keefe died? Here's what we learned this week

A woman accused of leaving her Boston police officer boyfriend for dead in a snowbank after a night of drinking was still legally intoxicated or close to it roughly eight hours later, a former state police toxicologist testified Tuesday.dropped John O’Keefe off at a house party hosted by a fellow officer in January 2022, struck him with her SUV and then drove away.

In the only day of court this week, we heard testimony about Karen Read's reported blood-alcohol level on the day of John O'Keefe's death, and defense attorneys continued to grill ATF Agent Brian Higgins over his phone records.The defense, which has been allowed to present what is called third-party culprit evidence, argues that investigators focused on Read because she was a “convenient outsider” who saved them from having to consider other suspects.

“You knew when you were throwing that phone and the destroyed SIM card in the Dumpster, that from that day forward, no one would ever be able to access the content of what you and Brian Albert had discussed by text messages on your old phone,” attorney David Yannetti said.After a full day of hearing from witnesses on Tuesday, no testimony is scheduled in the trial for the rest of the week. The case is scheduled to resume on Monday, June 3.
