Karen Read Trial: Defense Challenges Forensic Evidence
Karen Read Trial LiveKaren Read Trial Live: Key Testimony Unfolds as Defense Challenges Prosecution’s Case
DEDHAM, Mass. — May 8, 2025 — The high-profile murder trial of Karen Read continued Wednesday in Norfolk Superior Court, with the defense aggressively challenging forensic evidence and witness accounts in the death of Boston Police Officer John O’Keefe.
Read, 44, is accused of second-degree murder, manslaughter while operating under the influence, and leaving the scene of a fatal collision in the January 2022 death of O’Keefe, her boyfriend. Prosecutors allege she struck him with her SUV outside a Canton home after a night of drinking, leaving him to die in a snowstorm. The defense, however, claims Read is being framed and that O’Keefe was beaten inside the home before being placed outside.
Today’s Key Developments:
Forensic Expert Testimony: A prosecution witness testified that damage to Read’s SUV was consistent with striking a person, but under cross-examination, the defense highlighted inconsistencies in the analysis, suggesting the evidence could have been mishandled.
Cellphone Data Scrutinized: The defense questioned the reliability of location data placing Read at the scene, arguing that records do not definitively prove her vehicle struck O’Keefe.
Witness Credibility Challenged: A friend of O’Keefe’s who was at the home that night faced sharp questioning over his initial statements to police, with the defense implying possible bias due to his law enforcement connections.
Emotional Testimony
Earlier in the trial, O’Keefe’s family gave tearful statements describing him as a devoted uncle and public servant. Meanwhile, supporters of Read—who has maintained her innocence—gathered outside the courthouse with signs reading 'Free Karen Read' and 'Justice for John.'
What’s Next?
The trial, expected to last several more weeks, will resume Thursday with additional forensic experts and possibly testimony from first responders. Legal analysts suggest the case hinges on whether the prosecution can conclusively tie Read’s vehicle to O’Keefe’s injuries amid the defense’s claims of a cover-up.
