Karen Read Trial - Opening Statements- P...

True Crime Today
About this episode
In the high-profile retrial of Karen Read, special prosecutor Hank Brennan delivers the prosecution's opening statements, laying out the Commonwealth's case against Read in the death of Boston police officer John O'Keefe. Brennan asserts that Read intentionally struck O'Keefe with her SUV and left him to die in the snow outside a house party in Canton, Massachusetts, on January 29, 2022. He emphasizes Read's alleged statements at the scene, including, "I hit him, I hit him, I hit him," and references a television interview where Read speculates about possibly injuring O'Keefe. Brennan also introduces new evidence, such as data from O'Keefe's cellphone indicating a drop in battery temperature, suggesting he was left outside in freezing conditions.
