Dedham, MA - During the Karen Read murder trial, a Massachusetts State Police sergeant's testimony has cast doubt on the prosecution's narrative regarding the death of John O'Keefe. The sergeant, a veteran investigator, testified that the injuries sustained by O'Keefe did not definitively point to a vehicle strike, raising the possibility of other causes.
The testimony focused on the nature of O'Keefe's injuries and their potential incompatibility with being struck by a car. Defense attorneys have argued that the investigation was flawed and that alternative theories about O'Keefe's death were not adequately explored. The prosecution maintains that Read intentionally struck O'Keefe with her vehicle following an argument. The trial is ongoing, and the jury will ultimately decide whether the evidence supports the charges against Karen Read.
