Hours after a 12-person Massachusetts jury found Karen Read not guilty of murdering her Boston police officer boyfriend John O'Keefe, several jurors have spoken out about how they came to their decision.
Read was accused by prosecutors of hitting O'Keefe with her SUV and leaving him to die during a snowstorm on Jan. 29, 2022. Her first trial in 2024 ended in a hung jury, but on June 18, she was acquitted on charges of second-degree murder and manslaughter.
The jury did, however, find her guilty on a drunk driving charge. She was sentenced to one year of probation.
Read's defense team has long alleged O'Keefe's death stemmed from an incident inside the Canton, Massachusetts house of fellow police officer Brian Albert. O'Keefe was found dead on Albert's front lawn, but he says O'Keefe never came inside.
Here's what jurors have said so far.
