The highly publicized trial of a woman accused of hitting her Boston police officer boyfriend with her Lexus SUV and leaving him for dead outside in a snowstorm is nearing an end.
If convicted, Karen Read, 44, faces up to life in prison for the death of 46-year-old John O’Keefe, who died in the Boston suburb of Canton, Massachusetts, in the early hours of January 29, 2022. An autopsy found he died of hypothermia and blunt force trauma.
