Karen Read's Murder Trial: Jury Deliberating
Accused of Killing Boston Police Officer Boyfriend
The jury in the murder trial of Karen Read is currently deliberating after hearing evidence and arguments from both the prosecution and defense. Read, who is accused of killing her Boston police officer boyfriend, John OKeefe, pleaded not guilty and is currently awaiting the jury's verdict.
The Prosecution's Case
The prosecution alleges that Read killed OKeefe in January 2022 after dropping him off at a house party hosted by a fellow officer. Prosecutors claim that Read struck OKeefe with her SUV after an argument and then fled the scene. They presented evidence including witness testimony and security footage allegedly showing the incident.
The Defense's Case
The defense contends that Read did not kill OKeefe and is instead the victim of a police cover-up. They argue that OKeefe's fellow officers were involved in his death and have framed Read to protect themselves. The defense presented expert testimony and questioned the credibility of the prosecution's witnesses.
The Jury's Deliberations
The jury began deliberating on Friday after hearing closing arguments from both sides. They will consider all of the evidence presented during the trial and determine whether Read is guilty of murder beyond a reasonable doubt. A verdict is expected in the coming days.
