Read, 45, is accused of killing her boyfriend, Braintree native and Boston police officer John O'Keefe, by backing into him with her SUV outside a Canton home in January 2022 and leaving him to die in a snowstorm following a night of drinking. But defense attorneys for Read say she was framed for O'Keefe's death.

Karen Read, who is accused of killing her boyfriend in Massachusetts in 2022, has appealed her case to the highest court possible, the U.S. Supreme Court. Read, whose retrial is currently in jury selection in Norfolk Superior Court, is asking the country's highest court to drop two of her three charges.

Jury selection has begun in the retrial of Karen Read, less than a year after a judge declared a mistrial on charges that she was responsible for the death of her Boston police officer boyfriend.

The murder retrial of Karen Read, accused in the death of her boyfriend, a Boston police officer, is nearly ready to begin as juror selection concludes. SCOTUS responds to her request to halt the retrial.

Read’s attorneys had filed an emergency appeal for a delay in the trial, contending that trying her again on second-degree murder and leaving the scene would be double jeopardy.

One more to go, as 15 jurors have been seated as of Wednesday in Karen Read's second murder trial. The Bristol County woman is accused of backing into Boston police officer John O'Keefe with her SUV and leaving him to die in 2022.
