Current Trial Karen Read Accused of murder of boyfriend police officer in a blizzard - Her defence is the cops killed him

[Kurve]

Karen Read claims law enforcement murdered her partner John, in a cover up conspiracy to frame her. John was working on the sex offenders registry.

The allegations are that Karen Read ran her partner over then left him there, in a blizzard.

What started with too many drinks at a bar in the small US town of Canton during a snowstorm, has ended in an intense legal battle and allegations of a sweeping conspiracy among law enforcement.

On January 28, 2022, a severely wounded police officer was found close to death on the front lawn of a friend's house in the midst of a blizzard.

No-one can agree how John O'Keefe got there.

Prosecutors in the state of Massachusetts allege that the off-duty Boston police officer was run down by his girlfriend during an argument.

But Karen Read insists she dropped John off at the house so he could keep drinking with his friends, and while she was angry at him, she did not mow him down with her car.

When she returned a few hours later to pick him up, she claims to have found him wounded, hypothermic and unconscious beneath a growing snow bank.
She was charged both with intentional homicide and with recklessness for driving drunk and accidentally killing her boyfriend.

It struck law experts watching the case as odd that two somewhat conflicting theories had been put forward.
It's a very divisive case.

I’ve watched this from the start and it’s one of the more bizarre ones

On one of the podcasts I listen to there was someone invested in this case. I can’t remember which podcast or who this person was but it was earlier this year. Anyway, I’m convinced that Karen Read is innocent. Most definitely someone has tried to frame her for killing her husband.

You might be right.

This was the podcast from the 31 minute mark to the 53 minute mark. It’s an interesting listen. Before they declared a mistrial, jurors have come forward afterwards saying that they were going to acquit Read on charges 1 and 3. That only left the 2nd lesser charge without a verdict.
Also, Trooper Proctor from 40 minute mark for approximately 2 minutes is very crude language when being questioned on his language towards Karen Read in private texts.
