Here’s a look at a timeline of the entire case, from the key 6-hour period surrounding O’Keefe’s death and the ensuing legal battle over who is responsible.
Karen Read is expected back in a Massachusetts court to face a second murder trial in the death of her Boston police officer boyfriend in a case that has rallied pink-wearing supporters to her cause in their belief of a vast criminal conspiracy. Read, 45, has pleaded not guilty to second-degree murder, vehicular manslaughter while intoxicated and leaving the scene of a collision resulting in death. The case stems from the death of her boyfriend, Boston police officer John O’Keefe, whose body was found bruised and battered in the snow on January 29, 2022, outside the home of a fellow officer in the suburb of Canton, Massachusetts. Her murder trial last year ended in a mistrial after the jury deadlocked on the charges and reported it could not come to a unanimous verdict. Read’s retrial began April 1 with jury selection. Opening statements are set to begin Tuesday, and the trial is expected to last about six to eight weeks. Here’s a look at a timeline of the entire case, from the key six-hour period surrounding O’Keefe’s death and the ensuing legal battle over who is responsible.

Members of the Proud Boys who were convicted by a jury on several counts related to the January 6, 2021, Capitol attack – each of whom were later pardoned or had their sentences commuted by President Donald Trump – are now suing the Justice Department for what they say was a “political prosecution.”
