Jurors in the long-running murder trial of Karen Read must decide whether she was a callous girlfriend who drove off after running over her Boston police officer boyfriend with her luxury SUV, or whether police framed her to cover up a brutal beatdown by his fellow officers.
Prosecutors contend Read struck O'Keefe with her Lexus SUV, leaving him unconscious outside in the snow after a night of bar hopping. Read's lawyers argue O'Keefe was dragged outside after a basement beating and believe O'Keefe's injuries are not consistent with an SUV impact.
Dr. Frank Sheridan, a retired forensic pathologist, testified that O'Keefe should have had more bruising if hit by the SUV, suggesting the injuries were consistent with an altercation. He also noted scratch marks could be from a dog, contradicting the prosecution's claims.
