Focus turns to demeanor of girlfriend charged in Boston officer's death on second day of trial
BOSTON (AP) — The demeanor of a Massachusetts woman charged in the death of her Boston police officer boyfriend and the words she uttered at the crime scene were the focus Tuesday on the second day of her trial. Karen Read has been charged with second degree murder and other charges in the 2022 death of Officer John O’Keefe. The 16-year veteran of the Boston police was found unresponsive outside a Canton home. He was taken to the hospital and, hours later, pronounced dead. An autopsy found O’Keefe died of hyperthermia and blunt force trauma. Read has pleaded not guilty to the charges. Testimony from two police officers and two firefighters who arrived on the scene early Jan. 29, 2022, described a chaotic scene in which O’Keefe was laying face up and Read was attempting to give him CPR. She had blood on her mouth, possibly from giving him mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. They described Read as distraught and screaming and that O’Keefe had no pulse and wasn’t breathing. They also described interactions with Read, in which she made statements that appear to implicate her in O’Keefe’s death.
