During closing arguments, prosecutors said they’ve shown Karen Read killed her boyfriend when she hit him with her car after a night of drinking. Read’s defense team says there was no collision, and that the investigation into O’Keefe’s death was flawed from the start.

The Boston-area woman was accused of killing her police officer boyfriend in 2022. The jury was dismissed for the weekend and will resume on Monday.

Defense attorneys for Karen Read rested their case Wednesday, bringing her retrial for the death of her Boston police officer boyfriend one step closer to its blockbuster conclusion.

Karen Read will not take the witness stand in the second trial about the death of her Boston police officer boyfriend as the defense has rested.

For weeks, all appearances were that prosecutors would call witnesses as part of a brief rebuttal case in the Karen Read retrial, giving them the opportunity to get the last word after damaging testimony from expert witnesses for the defense.
