"The one-minute trailer for "Accused: The Karen Read Story" opens with a frantic Read digging through snow to uncover the lifeless body of her boyfriend, Boston Police Officer John O'Keefe. Not long after, Read is shown in handcuffs as police arrest her on suspicion of murder. As shown in the trailer, the sensational case would come to divide the town of Canton, where prosecutors alleged Read drunkenly backed her SUV into O'Keefe and left him to die outside a fellow Boston police officer's house party in January 2022."
"The clip also features some dramatized behind-the-scenes legal maneuvering by Read's lead defense attorneys, David Yannetti and Alan Jackson, as well as cries of support from "Free Karen Read" crowds and Turtleboy blogger Aidan Kearney. "It's like I was the only suspect," Read - played by "Arrow" actress Katie Cassidy - says in the trailer. "Everybody's so damn sure. Burn me at the stake already.""

The trailer depicts defense attorneys David Yannetti and Alan Jackson working behind the scenes and shows public support from "Free Karen Read" crowds and commentator Aidan Kearney. Katie Cassidy portrays Read, delivering lines expressing isolation and outrage. Read has maintained she was framed in a law enforcement conspiracy, endured a mistrial in 2024, was acquitted in a retrial, and faces ongoing civil litigation.
