The retrial of Karen Read, accused of killing her boyfriend, Boston police officer John O'Keefe, began with opening statements. The prosecution claims Read hit O'Keefe with her car after a night of drinking, citing a "Dateline" interview where Read admitted to possibly hitting him. The defense argues that O'Keefe's death was a result of a cover-up and that he was injured elsewhere before being placed outside in the snow. Read's first trial ended in a hung jury. The retrial jury has been selected, and the case continues with heightened security due to previous protests.
