The high-profile case against Karen Read is over after a jury found her not guilty of killing her police officer boyfriend, though they found her guilty on a far lesser charge.
The 45-year-old expressed relief to a crowd of supporters outside of the Norfolk County Superior Court after jurors deliberated for at least 22 hours in the emotional case.
Read could have faced a life sentence in prison for the murder charge, but instead she will only serve one year of probation.
Read was accused of second-degree murder and manslaughter in the death of John O’Keefe, a Boston Police officer, in 2022. On the night of his death, she dropped him off at a party in the home of a fellow officer.
