Defense rests in second trial of Karen Read, charged in death of Boston police officer boyfriend
Briefly

In Karen Read's second trial, her defense team claims she was framed for the death of her boyfriend, Boston police officer O'Keefe, after a night of drinking. Read is charged with second-degree murder, manslaughter, and leaving the scene of the incident. The prosecution maintains she intentionally hit O'Keefe with her SUV. However, the defense argues she was merely expressing concern in a desperate moment and highlights evidence inconsistencies contradicting the prosecution's version of events. Notably, expert testimonies challenged the prosecution's narrative, further complicating the case against Read.
"The defense's case rests on the assertion that Karen Read was framed for her boyfriend's death, citing conspiracy and planted evidence."
"The prosecution claims Read intentionally struck O'Keefe and left him to die, while defense stresses her genuine concern in a desperate situation."
