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 Monday 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.
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.
The prosecution rested its case last week and the defense began calling witnesses on Friday.
Jurors heard from a Canton snow plow driver, a retired emergency room physician and a digital investigator who testified about the “hos (sic) long to die in cold” Google search by a witness in the case.
Judge Beverly Cannone told jurors she expects the case to be ready for deliberations this week.
