Karen Read claims murder charge in police officer boyfriend's death is double jeopardy

A Massachusetts woman is asking the state's highest court to throw out some of the charges against her after her murder trial for the death of her police officer boyfriend ended in a mistrial amid emerging allegations of a corrupt cover-up involving his own colleagues.

Karen Read, a 44-year-old former finance professional, was dating John O'Keefe, a 46-year-old Boston police officer found dead on another Boston police officer's front lawn in Canton on the morning after a nor'easter in January 2022.
