A retired forensic pathologist testified Monday that some of the injuries suffered by a Boston police officer who was left for dead in a snowbank were inconsistent with being struck by his girlfriend's heavy SUV.
Karen Read pleaded not guilty to second-degree murder in the death of Officer John O’Keefe. Prosecutors contend she struck O'Keefe with her SUV and then left the scene in January 2022. He was found unresponsive hours later outside the Canton home of another Boston police officer who was hosting a party. An autopsy found he died of hypothermia and blunt force trauma.
