Karen Read is on trial for the alleged murder of her boyfriend, Boston police officer John O'Keefe, who was found dead after Read reportedly struck him with her SUV and left the scene. Prosecutors claim her actions were intentional, while her defense believes she is a victim of a conspiracy involving law enforcement. The first trial resulted in a mistrial, and the current case will use many of the same witnesses, as jurors assess the couple's troubled relationship leading to O'Keefe's death.
Read's defense team argues that evidence will reveal a conspiracy involving law enforcement, suggesting that she is being framed for a crime she did not commit.
Prosecutors assert that Read's actions were intentional when she struck O'Keefe with her SUV, presenting a narrative of relationship troubles leading up to his death.
A mistrial was previously declared due to jurors' inability to reach a consensus, setting the stage for this second trial to closely mirror the first.
The trial includes nine men and nine women serving as jurors, with both sides expected to call similar witnesses from the first trial to present their cases.
