Karen Read's Retrial and New Documentary Revive Debate Over Officer's Death

With her retrial set for April 2025, a new docuseries explores Karen Read's defense claims of a law enforcement cover-up in the death of Boston Police Officer John O’Keefe.

Karen Read faces charges including second-degree murder and vehicular manslaughter for allegedly running over her boyfriend, John O’Keefe, in January 2022.
Her defense argues she was framed by law enforcement and alleges O’Keefe died after an altercation with fellow officers.
The 2024 trial ended in a mistrial after a deadlocked jury, with nine jurors favoring conviction on vehicular manslaughter and three opposing.
A new documentary series, 'A Body in the Snow: The Trial of Karen Read,' delves into the case, defense claims, and preparations for the upcoming retrial.
If convicted of second-degree murder in the retrial beginning April 1, 2025, Read could face a life sentence.
