Mistrial declared in Karen Read’s case over killing of her Boston police boyfriend

Prosecutors say Read ran over John O'Keefe with an SUV and fled scene in 2022, but jury was unable to reach verdict

A mistrial has been declared in the Karen Read case after a jury was unable to reach a verdict on charges that she murdered her boyfriend, a Boston police officer.

The local district attorney's office quickly issued a statement saying that prosecutors intend to retry the case, which jurors first began hearing in late April.
