Karen Read's fate in jurors' hands following month-long retrial with dramatic dashcam footage, expert testimony challenging vehicle collision theory, and powerful closing arguments.
Read was charged with second-degree murder after O'Keefe's body was found in the front lawn outside the Canton home of a fellow Boston police officer Jan. 29, 2022, during a snowstorm.
