RAW COURT AUDIO-Karen Read to Face New Trial in January 2025 for Boyfriend's Death

  • Resumen

  • Karen Read, who stands accused of running over her boyfriend, John O'Keefe, in January 2022, will face a new trial on January 27, 2025. The swift hearing, live-streamed by Boston 10, also addressed the defense's motion to dismiss charges against Read, but the judge ruled that a hearing regarding that motion will take place on August 9. Read was present during the hearing but did not speak to the judge.

    Read is charged with second-degree murder in connection with the death of her boyfriend, 46-year-old John O’Keefe. Prosecutors allege that Read ran over O'Keefe with her SUV in late January 2022 after a night out drinking, according to NBC Boston. Despite evidence the prosecution claims proves Read backed over O’Keefe while leaving the driveway of his friend's home, her attorneys have consistently argued that she is the victim of a cover-up and was falsely accused. Initially, Read was charged with manslaughter in connection with O'Keefe's death, but the charge was later upgraded to second-degree murder. She also faces charges of motor vehicle manslaughter while driving under the influence and leaving the scene of a collision causing injury and death, as reported by Boston.com.

    A mistrial was declared on July 1 after a two-month, highly publicized trial, when the jury could not come to a unanimous decision on Read's guilt. Reports from Boston.com, NBC Boston, and MassLive.com highlighted the intense public and media scrutiny the trial received.

    Following the mistrial, Read's lawyers filed a motion to dismiss two of the charges against her. The Patriot Ledger reported that according to the motion, the jury was only deadlocked on one of the charges she faced, with all jurors agreeing that she was not guilty of second-degree murder or leaving the scene of a collision.

    The decision on the defense's motion to dismiss will be determined in August. Read's legal team remains steadfast in their claim of her innocence, continuing to argue that she has been wrongfully accused in a case they describe as a cover-up. The upcoming trial in January 2025 is expected to attract significant attention as new evidence and arguments are presented.'
