A mistrial has been declared in the high-profile trial of Karen Read, accused of killing her police officer boyfriend, John O'Keefe, in January 2022. The jury was unable to reach a unanimous verdict despite several days of deliberation, leading Judge Beverly Cannone to call for a retrial. Read's defense attorneys argue she was framed and that O'Keefe was killed inside a friend's home before being left outside, while prosecutors claim she struck him with her car and left him to die. The trial featured extensive testimony and evidence, drawing significant public and media attention, and a status hearing is scheduled for July 22. Read's supporters have been vocal, alleging a cover-up by local law enforcement.
