"Local News Read claims witnesses from her criminal case "concocted a plan" to frame her for killing her former boyfriend. In a blistering lawsuit filed this week, Karen Read sued several witnesses and investigators she alleges "concocted a plan" to frame her for killing her boyfriend, Boston Police Officer John O'Keefe. Read was acquitted of murder and manslaughter charges in O'Keefe's death following her second high-profile murder trial this spring. While prosecutors alleged Read drunkenly backed her SUV into O'Keefe while dropping him off at a house party in Canton on Jan. 29, 2022, jurors ultimately convicted her only of a drunk driving misdemeanor."
""Now, after being acquitted of all charges relating to Mr. O'Keefe's death, Ms. Read brings this action to recover for and address the actions of those actually involved in Mr. O'Keefe's death and the law enforcement officers who abjectly failed to ensure that justice was sought and served," her lawsuit states. Filed in Bristol County, where Read now lives, the complaint could be consolidated with a separate wrongful death suit O'Keefe's family filed against Read in Plymouth County. A footnote in the new lawsuit states Read will seek to combine the two cases "for discovery and trial efficiencies.""
Karen Read filed a lawsuit accusing several witnesses and investigators of conspiring to frame her for the January 29, 2022 death of Boston Police Officer John O'Keefe. Read was acquitted of murder and manslaughter charges after her second trial and was convicted only of a drunk driving misdemeanor. The complaint, filed in Bristol County where Read lives, names multiple private witnesses and three Massachusetts State Police officials and seeks potential consolidation with a wrongful death suit filed by O'Keefe’s family for discovery and trial efficiencies. Some witnesses have announced plans to sue Read and a blogger for defamation. O'Keefe was found unresponsive in the snow after a Canton house party.
