Karen Read Breaks Silence, Vows Civil Fight, Moves to Add Trial Lawyers to Defense

Her team has sought court approval to add out-of-state lawyers to her civil defense.

Overview

  • Karin Read used her first post-verdict interview to denounce prosecutors and state police, saying, “You lost. You lost big time.”
  • Attorney Alan Jackson said they are preparing potential civil cases with “nothing off the table,” including actions that could target the Massachusetts State Police and the Norfolk County District Attorney’s Office.
  • New Plymouth Superior Court filings seek permission for Alan Jackson, Elizabeth Little, and Caleb Mason to join Read’s defense in the O’Keefe family’s wrongful-death suit, with no opposition filed by the plaintiffs within the response window.
  • Read detailed personal losses during the prosecution, including selling her home, losing jobs at Fidelity and Bentley University, moving in with her parents, and not yet getting her Lexus SUV back from authorities.
  • Prime Video is developing a limited series with Elizabeth Banks portraying Read, which Read said is “not authorized by me in any way,” as she considers telling her story herself.
