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.

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.
