I think this is going to be twice what the first trial was, just in terms of magnitude and witnesses,” Karen Read told VF.

Read, 45, is accused of killing her boyfriend, Braintree native and Boston police officer John O'Keefe, by backing into him with her SUV outside a Canton home in January 2022 and leaving him to die in a snowstorm following a night of drinking. But defense attorneys for Read say she was framed for O'Keefe's death.
