💨 Abstract

Karen Read was acquitted of murder charges in the death of her boyfriend, Boston police officer John O’Keefe. After two trials, the jury found reasonable doubt that she hit him with her SUV. Prosecutors accused her of leaving him to die in a blizzard, while her defense argued police misconduct and a cover-up. O’Keefe’s family is pursuing a wrongful-death lawsuit. The case highlighted alleged police misconduct and a potential cover-up.
