Jurors in Karen Read’s second murder trial traveled Friday to the site of John O’Keefe’s death in 2022. Read is accused of killing O’Keefe, her boyfriend and a Boston police officer, with her vehicle and leaving him in the snow outside a house in Canton, about 20 miles south of Boston. Read has pleaded not guilty to second-degree murder, vehicular manslaughter while intoxicated and leaving the scene of a collision resulting in death. Prosecutors say Read struck O’Keefe with her SUV after dropping him off at a party and returned hours later to find him dead. Defense attorneys say Read was a victim of a conspiracy involving the police. The night before O’Keefe was found dead, he and Read went out drinking at two bars with friends. Shortly after midnight, the couple climbed into Read’s SUV and drove to the Canton home of O’Keefe’s colleague for an after-party. There, O’Keefe got out of the vehicle, and Read later drove home.
