Karen Read and her defense team entered Norfolk Superior Court in Dedham Tuesday before calling more witnesses to the stand in<a class="excerpt-read-more" href=" More

Read, 45, is accused of fatally striking Boston Police Officer John O'Keefe and leaving him to die in the snow outside another officer's home after a night of drinking in January 2022. She's charged with second-degree murder, manslaughter and leaving the scene outside Boston.

Shortly after her lawyers played video that appeared to show the late John O’Keefe and ATF Agent Brian Higgins gesturing aggressively at one another in a bar in Canton, Massachusetts, Karen Read told reporters she wasn’t paying attention to the interaction.

As a verdict in the Karen Read murder retrial looms in the coming weeks, John O’Keefe’s cousin told Boston 25 exclusively they’re ready for the “nightmare” to be somewhat over.

Karen Read's lawyers pushed for a mistrial after the prosecution asked a witness about holes in John O'Keefe's sweatshirt. The holes were cut by an investigator long after the incident in Canton.
