A Massachusetts jury acquitted Karen Read of the murder charges concerning her boyfriend, Boston police officer John O'Keefe. This verdict followed her initial prosecution that led to a mistrial. Read maintained her innocence, and the jury's decision was met with excitement from her supporters outside the courthouse. Despite being found not guilty on the more severe charges, she was convicted of operating under the influence. The verdict followed a tense deliberation process that included a temporary retraction by the jury before they confirmed their final decision.
"I just want to say two things. Number one is I could not be standing here without these amazing supporters who have supported me and my team financially, and more importantly, emotionally, for almost four years."
"And the second thing I want to say is no one has fought harder for justice for John O'Keefe than I have."
