Karen Read Trial: Defense Witnesses to Testify Outside Jury's Presence
Day 27 of Trial
In a significant development, defense witnesses in the Karen Read murder trial will provide testimony outside the jury's presence. This decision was made after the defense argued that some witnesses needed protection from potential intimidation or harassment.
Background
Karen Read is accused of driving drunk and hitting her boyfriend, Boston police officer John O'Keefe, in January. She allegedly left O'Keefe to die at the scene. The trial has been closely watched due to the high-profile nature of the case.
The defense has maintained Read's innocence, arguing that she did not realize she had hit O'Keefe. However, the prosecution has presented evidence that Read was intoxicated and made a conscious decision to leave O'Keefe behind.
The trial is expected to continue for several more weeks.
