"Read, 45, was acquitted in June of murder and manslaughter charges in O'Keefe's January 2022 death. Prosecutors accused her of drunkenly mowing O'Keefe down with her SUV while dropping him off at an afterparty in Canton, but Read's attorneys were adamant she was framed in a vast law enforcement conspiracy. In the end, Read was convicted only of a drunk driving misdemeanor, for which she received a year of probation."
"Early in the morning of Jan. 29, 2022, the teen awoke to Read frantically shaking her and telling her O'Keefe hadn't come home. She testified she overheard Read "asking what could've happened," including questions such as, "could I have done something?" and "could he have gotten hit by a plow?" The teen also alleged she heard Read say, "maybe I hit him.""
Judge Daniel O'Shea dismissed a negligent infliction of emotional distress claim against Karen Read related to John O'Keefe's teenage niece while denying a broader motion to dismiss and allowing other wrongful death claims to proceed. Read was acquitted of murder and manslaughter charges in O'Keefe's January 2022 death but was convicted of a drunk driving misdemeanor and received a year of probation. O'Keefe lived with his young niece and nephew after both parents died, and Read had a semi-parental role. The niece testified she woke to Read panicking and overheard Read ask, "could I have done something?" and say, "maybe I hit him."
