The jury will return Friday for a fourth day of deliberations in the murder trial of Karen Read, a Mansfield woman charged in the death of her Boston police officer boyfriend, John O’Keefe.
Jurors have spent about 14 hours discussing the case since closing arguments on Tuesday.
Read, 44, is charged with second-degree murder in the death of O’Keefe, who was found cold to the touch and unresponsive on Jan. 29, 2022, outside of a home in Canton.
Norfolk County prosecutors say Read struck O’Keefe with her SUV while driving intoxicated. Read’s attorney, David Yannetti, said during the trial’s opening statements that her car never struck O’Keefe and that others are to blame for his death.
