Karen Read walked out of court a free woman after more than three years and two trials over the death of her boyfriend, Boston police officer John O'Keefe, who was found on the lawn of a fellow officer's home after a night of heavy drinking.

The jury has reached a verdict in the retrial of Karen Read, the Massachusetts woman accused of drunkenly striking her Boston police officer boyfriend and leaving him to die in the snow in January 2022.

Read, 45, was charged with second-degree murder, manslaughter while operating under the influence and leaving the scene of an accident causing injury or death in the 2022 death of her boyfriend, Boston police officer John O’Keefe.
