DEDHAM, Mass. — Karen Read’s retrial begins on Tuesday, April 1, with jury selection.
Read, 45, of Mansfield, is accused of hitting John O’Keefe, her Boston police officer, with her Lexus SUV in Canton on January. 29, 2022, and leaving him to die in the cold after a night of drinking.
The defense has sought to portray Read as the victim, saying O’Keefe was actually killed inside the Albert family home at 34 Fairview Road in Canton and then dragged outside and left for dead.
She has pleaded not guilty to charges of second-degree murder, manslaughter while operating under the influence, and leaving the scene of a crash resulting in death.
Read’s retrial will kick off at 9 a.m. when the first batch of prospective jurors will be brought into Dedham’s Norfolk Superior Court for questioning.
On Monday, Judge Cannone released the list of 150 witnesses that the prosecution and defense could call during the trial.
