BOSTON (WWLP) – A woman from Mansfield charged in the 2022 death of her boyfriend, who was a Boston police officer, was back in court Wednesday.
Karen Read has been charged with second-degree murder in the death of Officer John O’Keefe last January outside a home in Canton. She is accused of hitting O’Keefe with her car and leaving him to die in the snow. She has pleaded not guilty.
According to NBC Boston, during the court hearing defense lawyers argued that they need more access to evidence in the case. Prosecutors responded, saying the defense has misrepresented evidence.
No major decisions came out of Wednesday’s hearing. Read is due back in court for a hearing on May 25.
