Karen Read murder case: Lawyers face off in marathon pretrial hearing
Briefly

Karen Read will undergo a retrial next month concerning the death of Boston Police Officer John O'Keefe. The initial trial resulted in a hung jury. The prosecution claims Read was intoxicated and reversed her SUV into O'Keefe intentionally, whereas the defense argues she is a victim of a conspiracy involving local law enforcement. They propose that O'Keefe was attacked after entering the home of fellow officers. A series of pretrial motions and witness exclusions are currently being addressed by Judge Cannone ahead of the retrial.
The prosecution argues that Read intentionally backed her SUV into O'Keefe while intoxicated, while the defense posits a conspiracy theory involving a local law enforcement family.
Karen Read's retrial is set to begin next month, as her defense team aims to exclude certain witnesses and manage interactions between prosecutors and jurors.
