The Canton Police Department audit dropped on the same day as the Karen Read retrial started and includes recommendations on how the crime scene surrounding the body of victim John O’Keefe could
Former Massachusetts State Trooper Michael Proctor has been named among the 150 witnesses for Karen Read's second trial in the death of Boston Police Officer John O'Keefe.
Karen Read's second trial is set to begin on Tuesday, after her first trial ended in a mistrial with the jury unable to reach a verdict.
Read is accused of hitting her boyfriend John O’Keefe, a Boston police officer, with her car and leaving him to die in a January 2022 snowstorm. Just as she did in her first trial, Read has pleaded not guilty to second-degree murder, manslaughter while operating under the influence, and leaving the scene of a crash resulting in death.
The judge in Karen Read's second trial ruled that the defense will not be allowed to blame Colin Albert as part of their third-party culprit defense.
The 200-page report pointed out several concerns in how the department handled evidence and interviewed witnesses in the 2022 killing of Boston police officer John O’Keefe outside a Canton home.
