"While jurors found Read not guilty of murder and manslaughter, O'Keefe's family remains unconvinced. Echoing prosecutors, they allege Read argued with O'Keefe before he died and struck him with her SUV in a drunken rage before leaving her boyfriend of two years to die in a blizzard. For her part, Read has long maintained she was framed in a law enforcement conspiracy."
"During a September hearing on the wrongful death suit, Read made the bombshell announcement that she plans to bring legal action against several witnesses and Massachusetts State Police investigators involved in her case. Sheehan Phinney attorney Damon Seligson, who's leading Read's civil defense, said the affirmative claims include allegations of conspiracy, civil rights violations, and negligent training, supervision, and retention of troopers."
Karen Read is changing her civil defense team after several Melick & Porter attorneys withdrew and Tang & Maravelis lawyers were added. Read was acquitted of murder and manslaughter and convicted only of a drunk driving misdemeanor in the 2022 death of Boston Police Officer John O'Keefe. O'Keefe's family alleges Read struck him with her SUV in a drunken rage and left him to die in a blizzard. Read contends she was framed in a law enforcement conspiracy and that O'Keefe was mortally wounded after joining a party at 34 Fairview Road. Read plans to pursue legal claims against witnesses and Massachusetts State Police investigators, with affirmative allegations including conspiracy, civil rights violations, and negligent training, supervision, and retention of troopers.
