Vindicated Karen Read thanks 'greatest' legal team as jurors deliver not guilty verdict in boyfriend's death
Karen Read, finally vindicated after two murder trials in the 2022 death of her former boyfriend, Boston cop John O'Keefe, thanked a vocal crowd of supporters Wednesday, minutes after jurors found her not guilty of all homicide-related charges.
She will serve a year on probation for drunken driving.
Read's father, William Read, credited her legal team for the result — which spared her the maximum punishment of life imprisonment as well as multi-year stints behind bars on a series of lesser charges.
