Karen Read's retrial for the death of her boyfriend, Boston police officer John O'Keefe, starts Tuesday. Read claims she was wrongly accused, stating she was framed by law enforcement. O'Keefe allegedly died after being struck by Read's SUV and left in a snowstorm. The judge declared a mistrial last year when jurors reached an impasse, with some expressing a unanimous inclination towards not guilty on serious charges. Prosecutors are expected to argue that Read's actions were intentional and will present witnesses, including O'Keefe’s family, to illustrate the deterioration of their relationship.
"Last year, the judge declared a mistrial after jurors said they were at an impasse and that deliberating further would be futile."
"Read's attorneys have said that O'Keefe was actually killed by someone else, possibly another law enforcement agent who was at the party."
