"This week, Amazon announced it was developing a series based on the trial of Karen Read. Elizabeth Banks is set to star, with The Sex Lives of College Girls producer Justin Noble showrunning and David E. Kelly serving as executive producer. The show's logline says it will examine "society's obsession with true crime, the allure of conspiracy, and the deepening crisis of trust in our institutions.""
"Karen Read was accused of murdering her boyfriend, Boston police officer John O'Keefe in 2022. Prosecutors alleged Read hit O'Keefe with her car while drunkenly backing up. Defense argued O'Keefe was killed in the house of fellow officer Brain Albert, then moved to frame Read. Defense pointed out that the lead investigator, Trooper Michael Proctor, was a close friend of the Albert family."
Amazon and Warner Bros. Television are developing a Prime Video series dramatizing the trials of Karen Read, with Elizabeth Banks starring, Justin Noble showrunning, and David E. Kelly as executive producer. The series draws on the Karen podcast from Law & Crime and Wondery and promises to examine society's obsession with true crime, the allure of conspiracy, and institutional mistrust. Karen Read was acquitted after two trials in a case alleging she killed Boston police officer John O'Keefe; prosecutors said she struck him with her car, while defense claimed O'Keefe was killed elsewhere and Read was framed. Read says she is not involved.
