Karen Read was found not guilty for the 2022 death of her Boston police officer boyfriend John O’Keefe, more than one year after her first trial ended in a hung jury.

Read was accused of hitting her boyfriend with her car and leaving him to die in a snowstorm, but alleged she was the victim of a cover-up by his fellow officers. Her 2024 trial ended in a hung jury.

Read's lawyers say John O’Keefe was beaten, bitten by a dog, then left outside a home in Canton in a conspiracy orchestrated by the police that included planting evidence against Read.
