Karen Read Not Guilty of Murder: Karen Read, once accused of murdering her police officer boyfriend John O’Keefe, is now a free woman. Tears rolled down her face as a Massachusetts jury found her not guilty of murder and vehicular manslaughter, ending a gripping, high-profile trial that captivated the nation for over two years. Prosecutors had claimed she drunkenly ran over O’Keefe and abandoned him in the snow, but the jury rejected that version of events. Though convicted of only driving under the influence, the courtroom erupted with cheers as supporters celebrated her acquittal. The troubled relationship, the media frenzy, and a failed trial in 2024 all led to this moment: Karen Read walks away, cleared but forever changed.
