Karen Read is on trial for the murder of Boston Police Officer John O'Keefe, charged with several offenses including second-degree murder. The prosecution argues that she fatally struck him in a drunken rage while he was returning from an afterparty. Conversely, Read's defense suggests a coverup to protect a fellow officer involved in the incident. Testimonies from witnesses, including a snowplow driver, are crucial in establishing what occurred that night, highlighting contrasting accounts of the timeline and visibility at the crime scene.
Did you see a 6-foot-1, 216-pound man lying on that lawn? No. My view was clear and my snowplow was equipped with lights that shone extremely bright.
Very strong. I remember clearly what I saw or didn't see in the early morning hours of Jan. 29, 2022, in the area of 34 Fairview.
The defense claims Read was framed in a coverup intended to protect the family and friends of the homeowner, a fellow Boston officer.
Prosecutors allege Read backed her SUV into O'Keefe in a drunken rage, leading to his death after a night of bar-hopping.
