No Karen Read trial Tuesday due to 'unavoidable circumstances'
Briefly

Karen Read's murder trial, concerning the death of her boyfriend Boston Police Officer John O'Keefe, faced delays with testimony from key witnesses, including Massachusetts State Police Sergeant Yuriy Bukhenik. Read is accused of intentionally running over O'Keefe while allegedly leaving him in a blizzard to die, a claim her defense rejects, framing the incident as part of a larger conspiracy. Arguments emphasize potential motives involving another guest, federal agent Brian Higgins, although police found no evidence of conflict with O'Keefe. The ongoing trial reveals a complex interplay of accusations and defenses.
Prosecutors allege Karen Read intentionally rammed her boyfriend, Officer John O'Keefe, with her SUV, while her defense accuses law enforcement of framing her in a conspiracy.
Read's lawyers have suggested a conspiracy involving law enforcement and afterparty guests, seeking to shift blame onto federal agent Brian Higgins.
Despite intense questioning about flirty texts exchanged between Read and Higgins, police testified there was no evidence of animosity between O'Keefe and Higgins.
The trial highlighted conflicting narratives as Read faces serious charges of intentionally harming O'Keefe while her legal team questions the integrity of the investigation.
