The prosecution of Karen Read, who is accused of murdering her police officer boyfriend in January 2022, has garnered massive internet attention and drawn crowds to the Massachusetts courthouse where her second trial began in April.
Ms Read's first trial stemming from the death of her boyfriend, Boston police officer John O'Keefe, collapsed in July 2024 after the jury could not reach a verdict.
Mr O'Keefe was found unresponsive in the snow outside a colleague's suburban home and later pronounced dead.
Ms Read was charged with murder, although she maintains innocence and argues she is being framed by police.
She faces multiple charges and is accused of dropping Mr O'Keefe off at a fellow police officer's home after a night of drinking, hitting him with her car and driving away from the scene.
