A Massachusetts woman is seeking to have some charges against her dismissed following a mistrial in the murder trial of her police officer boyfriend. Karen Read, a former finance professional, was dating Boston police officer John O'Keefe, whose body was found on a colleague's front lawn in Canton after a nor'easter in January 2022.
The trial ended in a mistrial when jurors deadlocked after 26 hours of deliberation. Prosecutors allege that Read ran over O'Keefe with her SUV during a drunken fight and left the scene, leading to his death from hypothermia.
