in the high-profile trial of a Massachusetts woman accused ofKaren Read, 44, had pleaded not guilty to charges of second-degree murder, vehicular manslaughter while intoxicated, and leaving the scene of a collision in the Jan. 29, 2022, death of Boston officer John O’Keefe, 46, in Canton.
Prosecutors intend to retry the case, District Attorney Michael W. Morrissey said in a statement shared with HuffPost.The case had deeply divided residents of Canton, Massachusetts, as well as people who followed proceedings on social media. But Read and her attorneys have claimed she framed it as a question: “Did I hit him?” and “Could I have hit him?”Read’s defense team and her supporters countered that Read was framed in a massive cover-up by state and local authorities. They alleged that O’Keefe’s injuries were caused when he walked into the home Albert shared with his wife, Nicole, and was brutally beaten, attacked by the Alberts’ dog and dragged to the spot outside where he was later found.
After Read left O’Keefe, she called him 53 times. When she couldn’t find him, she called and texted friends and relatives — but never called 911, said Lally, who played snippets of furious voicemails she left for O’Keefe.
