DEDHAM, Mass. (AP) — A jury found Karen Read not guilty of second-degree murder Wednesday in the death of her Boston police officer boyfriend John O’Keefe.
Read, a Mansfield resident, was found guilty of a lesser charge of drunken driving.
The verdict comes nearly a year after a separate jury deadlocked over whether Read killed O’Keefe in 2022.
Read was accused of striking O’Keefe with her SUV during a blizzard and leaving him to die in the snow in Canton.
The case attracted international attention, with many people siding with the defense argument that Read was framed by police.
