US EditionRetrial of Karen Read begins in killing of Boston police officer boyfriend
- Karen Read, 45, began her second trial on April 22, 2025, in Canton, Massachusetts, accused of killing her boyfriend, Boston police officer John O'Keefe, in January 2022.
- The trial restarted after the U.S. Supreme Court rejected Read's double jeopardy appeal challenging the second trial following a mistrial caused by a deadlocked jury in 2024.
- Prosecutors allege Read hit O'Keefe with her SUV, left him to die in the snow, and presented location data and witness testimony including McCabe’s account and cell phone analyses.
- Digital forensics expert Ian Whiffin testified about O'Keefe’s phone location remaining near a lawn flagpole after 12:32 a.m., while a debated Google search for 'hos long to die in cold' was reportedly made by McCabe before the body was found.
- The retrial continues amid defense claims of a police conspiracy framing Read, emphasizing investigative bias and alternative suspects, while the court's denial of double jeopardy allows prosecution to proceed.
