"The 45-year-old had been accused of drunkenly backing her SUV into her boyfriend, Boston Police Officer John O'Keefe, in 2022 while dropping him off at a house party in Canton. But Read's team had another theory: that O'Keefe was beaten inside the home, attacked by the family's dog, and dumped outside in the snow. Read, they claimed, had been framed in a vast law enforcement conspiracy."
"Read and members of her defense team recently donated to Democrat Adam Deitch, a former federal prosecutor who investigated Norfolk County authorities over their handling of the controversial case. Campaign finance records indicate Read chipped in $1,000, as did her father, William Read, and attorneys Alan Jackson and David Yannetti. Jackson and Yannetti helmed the high-powered defense team that won Read's acquittal on murder and manslaughter charges last spring."
Karen Read, her father William Read, and two of her attorneys each donated $1,000 to Democrat Adam Deitch, a former federal prosecutor now running for Norfolk County district attorney. Alan Jackson and David Yannetti, who led Read's defense and won her acquittal on murder and manslaughter charges, were among the donors. Read had been accused of backing her SUV into Boston Police Officer John O'Keefe in 2022, but her team argued an alternative theory that O'Keefe was assaulted inside, attacked by a dog, and dumped outside. The case prompted scrutiny of law enforcement and a federal probe.
