A Boston Police Officer, John O'Keefe, tragically died from blunt force trauma to the head and hypothermia during a snowstorm in Canton, Massachusetts. His girlfriend at the time, Karen Read, was accused of fatally running him over in a drunken fight and fleeing the scene.

The trial, which ended with a hung jury, is set for a second trial, with both sides requesting a delay to April 1. The state Supreme Court is considering dismissing two charges if the case proceeds to trial, including second-degree murder.
