Testimony in the trial of Karen Read, a Mansfield woman charged in the death of her Boston police officer boyfriend, John O’Keefe, will resume Friday morning.
Live updates will begin when the trial gets underway at 9 a.m. This story will be updated throughout the day with the latest testimony.
On Thursday, the jury heard from two medical examiners who described O’Keefe’s injuries, saying he died from blunt force trauma to the head that incapacitated him, followed by hypothermia.
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.
The trial is taking place in Dedham’s Norfolk County Superior Court.
