Karen Read Acquitted of Murder in John O'Keefe's Death

A Norfolk Superior Court jury in Dedham acquitted Karen Read of second-degree murder and manslaughter in the 2022 death of Boston police officer John O'Keefe, convicting her only of drunken driving.

The jury acquitted Read of second-degree murder, manslaughter and leaving the scene, and found her guilty of the lesser charge of drunken driving after deliberating at least 22 hours since 13 June^[1]
Prosecutors said Read hit O'Keefe with her SUV outside a house party in Canton in January 2022; the defense said he was killed inside the home and she was framed^[1]
It was the state's second attempt: the first trial ended in a mistrial due to a hung jury on 1 July^[1]
Read was sentenced to one year of probation and the "24D" alcohol-education program; jurors had briefly signalled a verdict at the lunch recess before knocking again to say they had none^[3]
Analysts on GBH's Boston Public Radio said the second-degree murder charge looked like overreach and the evidence left "so much reasonable doubt"^[2]
