Karen Read's retrial for the alleged murder of her boyfriend, Boston police officer John O'Keefe, begins Tuesday. The first trial ended in a mistrial last year after the jury failed to reach a verdict. Read is accused of hitting O'Keefe with her car and leaving him to die during a blizzard in January 2022. She maintains her innocence. This retrial includes a surprise addition to Read's legal team: an alternate juror from the first trial. The case garnered national attention during the first trial, lasting over two months.
