Karen Read’s Defense Claims She Was Framed by Police in Boyfriend’s Death
Prosecutors Present Evidence Linking Karen Read to Fatal Hit-and-Run Incident
According to reports from NTD, Karen Read is accused of hitting her boyfriend, police officer John O’Keefe, with her SUV and leaving him in the snow to die. Her legal team asserts that she was framed by the police. Testimony from snowplow driver Brian Loughran indicates that he did not see O’Keefe’s body during his route, casting doubt on the police’s accusations against Karen Read. However, prosecutors argue that Karen Read was intoxicated, had a history of conflicts with O’Keefe, and pointed to broken taillight pieces near the body as evidence supporting their case.
