Massachusetts Prosecutors Plan To Retry Karen Read For Boyfriend's Death

An empty flagpole is seen outside the residence where the body of John O'Keefe, a Boston police officer, was found on Jan. 29, 2022, outside the home, Thursday, June 27, 2024, in Canton, Mass.

Prosecutors in Massachusetts have announced their intention to retry Karen Read for the death of her Boston police officer boyfriend. The case involves allegations that she struck him with her SUV and left him to die in a snowstorm. The judge declared a mistrial after jurors were unable to reach a unanimous decision.

Read was facing charges of second-degree murder and leaving the scene of an accident resulting in death. The incident occurred after a night of drinking when she allegedly dropped the victim off at a fellow officer's house. The upcoming court date on July 22 will determine the next steps in the legal proceedings.
