Juror reveals why Karen Read walked free in boyfriend's death
- On June 18, 2025, Karen Read was acquitted of second-degree murder in Norfolk Superior Court in connection with the death of John O'Keefe, an officer with the Boston Police Department and her romantic partner.
- The verdict followed about two months of jury deliberations marked by uncertainty, due to conflicting evidence and concerns over a flawed police investigation.
- Jurors, including Paula Prado and Jason, expressed doubts whether Read's SUV struck O'Keefe and noted many holes in the investigation and unexplained injuries.
- Prado expressed complete confidence in Read's innocence, noting that while the verdict was a positive outcome for Read, it was deeply painful for the family.
- Disciplinary actions were taken against Massachusetts State Police members related to the case, and the department has reviewed procedures to improve oversight and accountability.
