The Case That Tore a Town Apart
The murder case of Karen Read, the woman accused in the death of her boyfriend Boston Police Officer John O'Keefe, is set for trial this week in Norfolk Superior Court in Dedham. Prosecutors say Read, 44, dropped O'Keefe off at a house party after a night of drinking and then struck him several times with her car.
Read has been charged with second-degree murder. Her attorney, Janice Bassil, has said that Read acted in self-defense and that O'Keefe was the aggressor in the incident.
The case has drawn national attention and has divided the town of Canton, where Read and O'Keefe lived. Some residents believe that Read is guilty of murder, while others believe that she is innocent and that she was acting in self-defense. The trial is expected to last for several weeks.
