Jurors in Karen Read's second murder trial are set to visit the Canton home where her boyfriend, Officer John O'Keefe, was found unresponsive. Read is accused of deliberately hitting O'Keefe with her SUV, but her defense claims a coverup, arguing he may have been beaten inside the home. They requested the SUV be present to assess injury consistency. This retrial follows a hung jury in her first trial. Tight restrictions have been imposed on juror privacy during the trial, and contrasting witness accounts add complexity to their relationship dynamics.
Jurors will visit the site where Read's boyfriend was found unresponsive, as her attorneys argue for a fair assessment of the crime scene in her murder trial.
Read's defense claims she was framed, suggesting O'Keefe's injuries indicate he was beaten inside the home rather than struck by her SUV.
Judge Beverly Cannone has enforced strict rules to protect the jurors, barring any media presence during their viewing of the scene.
Witnesses have contrasting accounts of the relationship dynamics, with Read's arguments with O'Keefe being disputed by a friend who saw them enjoying their time together.
