Karen Read's legal team has accused investigators and witnesses of conspiracy during a hearing for the wrongful death lawsuit filed by the family of John O'Keefe, following her acquittal on murder charges.
Following her acquittal on murder charges in the death of Boston Police Officer John O'Keefe, Karen Read is now pursuing civil action against multiple parties involved in the investigation. Her legal team claims a conspiracy to frame her for O'Keefe's death. This counters the wrongful death lawsuit filed by the O'Keefe family, who allege Read drunkenly killed O'Keefe and left him to die in the snow.
The civil suit also targets two Canton bars, accusing them of over-serving Read the night O'Keefe died. The complexity of the case has led the judge to predict a lengthy legal process, potentially delaying the trial for two years. Read's defense is based on the claim that O'Keefe was killed inside a property owned by a fellow Boston police officer and that his body was later moved to the front lawn.
