Verdict Reached in Karen Read Trial on Fourth Day of Deliberations
June 18, 2025
Karen Read was found not guilty of murdering her Boston police officer boyfriend, John O'Keefe. The 45-year-old ex-college professor teared up and hugged her attorney as the verdict was read. Minutes earlier, there was chaos and confusion. It appeared there was a verdict and then there wasn't. Large crowds of Read's supporters, wearing pink, are keeping a vigil outside Boston. They were under court order to stay quiet so the jurors could not hear them.
