News about trial • Karen Read

The second murder trial of Karen Read, who is accused of causing the death of her Boston police officer boyfriend, entered Day 2 as witness testimony resumed Wednesday. Prosecutors say Read backed her SUV into John O'Keefe in 2022 after dropping him off at a party and returned hours later to find him dead.

Paramedic testifies Read said 'I hit him' repeatedly In response to questions from Jackson, Nuttall agreed that injuries to O'Keefe's face could have been caused by a punch to the face. This trial is expected to last six to eight weeks.

One of the trial's key witnesses, Kerry Roberts, who was O'Keefe's lifelong friend, spoke exclusively to "Good Morning America" on Wednesday morning, saying she is speaking out because she believes people have forgotten O'Keefe was the victim in this case.

In tearful testimony, the mother of a Boston police officer recounted Wednesday how her son was discovered unresponsive in a snowbank and disputed comments made about her in media interviews by Karen Read, whom prosecutors accuse of killing the officer. Peggy O'Keefe testified that she got a call around 6 a.m.
