Prosecutors rested Friday in the case of a woman accused of hitting her Boston police officer boyfriend with her SUV and leaving him for dead in a snowbank.
Karen Read has pleaded not guilty to second-degree murder and other charges in the January 2022 death of Officer John O’Keefe. The 16-year Boston police veteran was found unresponsive outside a Canton home. He was pronounced dead hours after being taken to the hospital. An autopsy found O’Keefe died of hyperthermia and blunt force trauma. The manner of death was undetermined, a medical examiner testified for the prosecution.
