Karen Read murder trial: List of more than 160 witnesses prosecution, defense could call

DEDHAM, Mass. — The jury selection process began Tuesday morning in the high-profile Karen Read murder trial.

Read is charged with running down John O’Keefe, her Boston police officer boyfriend, and leaving him to die in a blizzard in the town of Canton on Jan. 29, 2022.

Read’s defense has argued that she is being framed and that O’Keefe was beaten and attacked by a dog inside the home of another Boston police officer.

Before jury selection began, Judge Beverly Cannone said that she wouldn’t exclude Read’s attorneys from using a third-party culprit defense during the trial as long as it’s “developed” through witness statements and evidence. That third-party defense won’t be allowed during initial statements.

Cannone also announced a list of more than 160 witnesses that the prosecution and defense could call during the trial. The names are as follows:
