Karen Read, an American woman accused of killing her boyfriend in January 2022, has been found not guilty of second-degree murder.
The jury also found her not guilty of vehicular manslaughter while intoxicated and leaving the site of the collision. But she was convicted of driving while intoxicated.
A July 2024 trial stemming from the death of Boston police officer John O'Keefe collapsed after the jury could not reach a verdict on the charges against Ms Read.
She had pleaded not guilty to the charges, with her lawyers arguing that she was being framed for Mr O'Keefe's death.
As the verdict was read out, a loud cheer could be heard inside the courtroom from outside the Massachusetts courthouse where a large crowd had gathered, many wearing pink to show support for Ms Read. She hugged her defence attorneys and cried after the verdict was announced.
