Trial Begins for Ex-Cop Accused in Police Officer's Murder
Karen Read Faces Murder Charges in High-Profile Case
Did Rage Drive the Killer, or is a Police Cover-Up at Play?
The trial of Karen Read, a former Boston police officer charged with the second-degree murder of her boyfriend, Boston police Officer John O'Keefe, began this week with explosive testimony and a juror being excused.
Prosecution witnesses testified that Read had a history of domestic violence with O'Keefe and had threatened to kill him on multiple occasions. The defense, however, paints Read as an innocent victim, alleging that the Boston Police Department is engaging in a cover-up to protect its own.
The trial has garnered significant media attention due to its controversial nature and the high-profile nature of both the victim and the accused. As the proceedings unfold, the jury will weigh the evidence and determine whether rage or a police cover-up led to the tragic death of Officer O'Keefe.
