Karen Read’s second trial started Tuesdsay with opening statements and witness testimony in the high-profile Massachusetts murder case. Read, who is accused of hitting her Boston police officer boyfriend John O’Keefe with her SUV and leaving him to die in the snow in Canton in 2022, is being retried less than a year after her first trial ended in a mistrial.
The 45-year-old Read is charged with second-degree murder, manslaughter while operating under the influence of alcohol and leaving the scene of personal injury of death. She has pleaded not guilty to all charges and argues she is being framed by several people, including law enforcement.
Eighteen jurors – nine men and nine women – have been seated after a grueling jury selection process that took 10 days. One of the alternate jurors from Read’s first trial is now a member of her legal team.
Prosecutors said in a filing last week that they plan to use Read’s own words against her at trial, and it’s expected that they will play clips from Read’s various media interviews that she has done in recent months. The jury saw two interview clips on Tuesday.
Karen Read opening statements
Special prosecutor Hank Brennan, the former Whitey Bulger attorney who was not part of the first trial, made the opening statement for the Commonwealth.
Brennan started by setting the scene in Canton, describing how firefighter and paramedic Timothy Nuttall responded to 34 Fairview Road in “near blizzard conditions” and found O’Keefe in the snow without a pulse.
“He looked up at Ms. Read and he said, ‘what happened?” And you’ll hear her words through firefighter Nuttall, she said ‘I hit him, I hit him, I hit him,” Brennan said. “We are here today because John O’Keefe was killed by the actions and conduct of that defendant, Karen Read.”
Brennan told the jury that data from Read’s cellphone and car will be a key part of the the prosecution’s argument. In addition to location information, Brennan said data showing the temperature of the cellphone battery “will be critical to your analysis of this case” – an element that wasn’t raised during Read’s first trial.
When it comes to Read’s SUV, Brennan suggested there is “black box” data that reveals different things than what were discussed in the first trial. He says she threw her Lexus into neutral and then reverse, and put her foot on the gas pedal to 75% acceleration.
“She clipped John O’Keefe, he fell backwards, hit his head, broke his skull,” Brennan said.
Brennan also brought up angry voicemails that Read left for O’Keefe after midnight. The prosecutor referenced a 12:59 a.m. message in which Read says “John, nobody knows where you are.”
“‘And this is where the plot and the cover-up begins,” Brennan said. “The evidence will make clear that she knew he was there. She did not call 911, she did not go back for him, she did not leave an anonymous tip. She left him.”
Brennan ended by playing a clip from an Oct. 2024 Dateline interview with Read.
“I didn’t think I hit him, hit him, but could I have clipped him? Could I have tapped him in the knee and incapacitated him? He didn’t look mortally wounded, as far as I could see,” Read says in the interview clip. “But could I have done something that knocked him out in drunkenness and in the cold, he didn’t come to again?”
Full opening statements in Karen Read’s second trial
01:25:13
Read’s lawyer Alan Jackson delivered the opening statement for the defense. During last year’s trial, it was attorney David Yannetti who spoke first to the jury.
Jackson started by telling jurors that the evidence will establish “there was no collision with John O’Keefe.”
“John O’Keefe did not die from being hit by a vehicle. Period,” he said. “The facts will show that, the evidence will show that, the data will show that, the science will show that and the experts will tell you that.”
Jackson said the investigation into O’Keefe’s death was “corrupted by bias, corrupted by incompetence, and corrupted by deceit.” He blasted former Massachusetts State Police Trooper Michael Proctor, the lead investigator in the case, as a “cancer” who never went into the Fairview Road home owned by Boston police officer Brian Albert or canvassed witnesses.
“You’ll see during the trial that he intentionally lied and fabricated evidence during the course of this investigation. He lied in reports, warrants, he lied under oath. He lied about the time that he actually secured Karen Read’s vehicle. Why?” Jackson asked. “He lied because he did not want it revealed that he had access to that vehicle and he had access to that taillight before any taillight fragments were found at 34 Fairview.”
At the end of his opening statement, Jackson asked the jury to find Read not guilty on “all three” verdicts. After the first trial concluded, some jurors told the defense that they had agreed that Read should be acquitted on two charges, but weren’t sure how to communicate that to the judge.
“Not guilty, not guilty, not guilty,” Jackson repeated.
Canton firefighter, paramedic Timothy Nuttall testifies
After opening statements, prosecutors began calling witnesses to testify at trial. Canton firefighter and paramedic Timothy Nuttall, whom Brennan referenced in his opening statement, was the first to take the stand.
He said snow was coming down heavily when he arrived at 34 Fairview and followed the sounds of women screaming. He said he saw O’Keefe laying on his back and took his pulse.
“I looked for any signs of breathing. I found none,” Nuttall said. “He was very cold to the touch.”
While he was attending to O’Keefe, Nuttall says he looked up and saw a middle-aged woman with blood on her face. He identified her in the courtroom as Read.
“I hit him, I hit him, I hit him,” Nuttall recalled Read saying. “I remember it very distinctly.”
He said he observed that O’Keefe had a “pretty good bump” over his right eye and several “notably deep” scratches on his right arm. The defense has argued that O’Keefe’s injuries came from a dog attack inside the Albert home and not from Read’s SUV.
In cross-examination, Jackson asked Nuttall about his previous meetings with prosecutors and pointed out that Nuttall testified in the first trial that Read said “I hit him” only twice.
“If you testified last year that you heard the phrase twice, and now a year goes by and you’re testifying in front of this jury this year that you heard it three times, those two statements are inconsistent with one another, correct?” Jackson asked.
“Yes sir,” Nuttall replied.
Kerry Roberts testifies in Karen Read trial
The next witness called was Kerry Roberts, a friend of O’Keefe who helped Read look for boyfriend on the night he died. But before Roberts testified, the prosecution played what appears to be an unedited clip of a Read media interview from the “Investigation Discovery” docuseries.
“I know I said I hit him, but did I really say it as many times as law enforcement’s claiming that I said it?” Read says in the video.
Roberts testified about getting a frantic 5 a.m. phone call from Read.
“The first thing she said was, ‘Kerry, Kerry, Kerry, John’s dead.’ And then she hung up,” Roberts said.
Read hung up but called back, Roberts said.
“The second time she said, ‘I think something happened to John. I think he got hit by a plow. He didn’t come home last night,'” Read said, according to Roberts.
Karen Read trial witnesses
There are 150 names that the prosecution and defense could call, but not all are expected to testify.
Among those who played a major role in the first trial and could testify again are former Trooper Proctor, who was fired for his conduct while leading the Read investigation, and Jennifer McCabe, who made the controversial “hos long to die in cold” Google search.
Also on the witness list are Brian Higgins, Brian Albert and Colin Albert. The defense has argued they could have killed O’Keefe during a fight inside Brian Albert’s home at 34 Fairview Road. Judge Beverly Cannone, however, has ruled that the defense cannot argue that Colin Albert, who was a teenager at the time, could be one of the men responsible for O’Keefe’s death.

Karen Read trial schedule
Roberts will be back on the stand when the trial resumes Wednesday morning at 9 a.m.
There will be a full day of testimony on Thursday. Cannone said there will be no witnesses on Friday as the court will instead hold a voir dire hearing for the prosecution’s crash reconstruction experts.
Karen Read’s first trial consisted of 29 days of testimony over nearly two months. The second trial may move faster, as Cannone said the court will be doing as many full days as possible, as opposed to half days of testimony that were a frequent occurrence in the first trial.
Court generally starts at 9 a.m. and goes until 4 p.m., Monday through Friday. They take a short morning break around 11 a.m. and a longer break for lunch at about 1 p.m.
At some point early on in the trial, the jury will take a trip to Fairview Road in Canton to view the crime scene. That visit will not be shown live for the general public.

Shaler’s Richard O’Brien and Nathan Myers go up for a block.
North Allegheny and Shaler are the top seeds for their respective WPIAL boys volleyball tournaments.
The WPIAL released the Class 3A and Class 2A brackets Friday afternoon after the regular season concluded with section finales Thursday evening.
There will be a new WPIAL champion in Class 3A with Shaler, the 2023 and 2024 titlist, moving down to Class 2A.
North Allegheny, runner-up to Shaler last year, won Class 3A gold five straight seasons from 2017-22, and it hopes to add a 23rd overall WPIAL championship trophy to its awards case.
The Tigers, one of 14 teams in the Class 3A field, will host either No. 8 Mt. Lebanon or No. 9 Gateway in next Thursday’s quarterfinals. The Blue Devils and the Gators play their first-round game Tuesday at Mt. Lebanon.
Seneca Valley, runner-up to North Allegheny in Section 3, also received a bye as the No. 2 seed and will await the winner of Tuesday’s first-round game between No. 7 Canon-McMillan and No. 10 Central Catholic at Canon-McMillan.
The other four Tuesday first-round matchups have No. 13 Upper St. Clair at No. 4 Hempfield, No. 12 Baldwin at No. 5 Pine-Richland, No. 14 North Hills at No. 3 Latrobe and No. 11 Peters Township at No. 6 Penn-Trafford.
The top four and ties in each section with seven or more teams and the top three and ties in each section with six teams or fewer punched their ticket for the playoffs. A total of 26 teams qualified.
Twelve Class 2A teams will join the 14 from Class 3A with the hopes of reaching the WPIAL championship games set for the weekend of May 24 at Peters Township’s AHN Arena.
From the WPIAL playoffs, three teams in Class 3A and three from Class 2A will continue on in their respective state tournaments.
Shaler, gunning for its third WPIAL championship overall and first in Class 2A, not only won WPIAL Class 3A titles the past two years but followed those WPIAL runs with a PIAA runner-up finish in 2023 and last year’s state title at Penn State.
The Titans (13-1) captured the Section 2 title with an unblemished 8-0 record. Their only loss in the regular season was to North Allegheny, 3-0, on March 18.
Shaler’s hopeful run this year begins in the quarterfinals next Thursday against the winner of No. 9 Hopewell’s game Tuesday at No. 8 Derry.
The other top seeds in Class 2A are No. 2 Ambridge, No. 3 Seton LaSalle and No. 4 North Catholic. They, too, earned byes to Thursday‘s quarterfinals.
Mars is the defending Class 2A champion.
The Fightin’ Planets, the third-place team from Section 2 behind Shaler and North Catholic, have a challenging road in front of them as the No. 6 seed in the bracket.
Mars opens the playoffs Tuesday at home against No. 11 South Park with the winner advancing to meet Seton LaSalle.
The other two first-round games Tuesday will have No. 12 McKeesport at No. 5 South Fayette, and No. 10 Deer Lakes at No. 7 Thomas Jefferson.

For the third consecutive time, Saint Lucia’s stellar players Sheldon Descartes and Joseph Clercent have claimed the title at the Eastern Caribbean Volleyball Association (ECVA) Senior Men’s Beach Volley Ball Championship.
On Sunday, this top-ranked duo demonstrated their dominance in the sub-regional competition with an impressive three-peat.
Team Saint Lucia defeated Bermuda’s Benjamin Barnett and Sean Tucker in the final match (21-14, 15-21, 15-8) at the Buckeye Beach Facility in Cul de Sac, wrapping up three days of intense competition featuring 12 teams.
Barnett, who struggled in the previous year’s group stage alongside former partner Kyle Hamilton, found more success this time with Tucker. The Bermudians powered through pool play, securing a victory over Anguilla’s Aiden Hazzard and Da’Qwan Fredericks and edging out Saint Lucia’s Diallo Albert and Lindan Clarke in the qualifiers.

Their most challenging test came in the semifinals, where they triumphed over Dominica’s Mervin Mingo and Bill Frederick in a grueling marathon match that ended 32-30, 21-16. However, the final presented a formidable challenge against the reigning champions. Descartes and Clercent had already bested Barnett and Tucker in previous pool play (21-18, 21-9) and moved past Hazzard and Fredericks in the quarterfinals.
The Saint Lucian duo then dominated St Vincent & the Grenadines’ Ronaldo Franklyn and Shadron Delpesche before overcoming St Kitts & Nevis’ Julian Bristol and Jedediah Pencheon, the only team to take a set from them throughout the entire tournament, in the semifinals.
On the women’s side, St Kitts & Nevis’ Shajunee Gumbs and Shanicia Dyer claimed the gold, decisively avenging earlier losses to defeat Bermuda’s Hailey Moss and Megan Hands (21-14, 22-20) in the final.
Defending champions Thornia Mitchell and Renisha Stafford of Grenada settled for bronze after defeating Saint Lucia’s Clio Phillip and Tenayestlgni Joseph.
Gumbs and Dyer faced a challenging path to victory. After dropping group-stage matches to Saint Lucia’s Phillip/Joseph and Grenada’s Mitchell/Stafford, they fought through a thrilling three-set of 12 match against Grenada’s Teasia Jones and Sienna Dominique. They surged through the knockout rounds, toppling Saint Lucia’s Denila Prospere and Chenoa Evans before exacting revenge on Phillip and Joseph to reach the final.
The tournament showcased an impressive 56 matches, with participation from eight of ECVA’s 14-member nations.
The spotlight now shifts to St Kitts & Nevis, the next host for the Under-21 Beach Championships in June.
Last year’s U-21 silver medalists, Saint Lucia’s Kurtrice Jules and Marie-Therese St Clair, are determined to improve and claim the gold this time.

Keep Nassau Beautiful and local graduate student Rhin Jones recently coordinated an event at Main Beach April 26, “The Last Castle on the Beach.” Small crowds gathered to watch international artists Andy Gertler from the Sand Master’s TV show, Sue Beatrice of Sand Sculpt USA, and local sculptor Jenn Cook create a “turtle conservation” themed sand sculpture at the Main Beach volleyball courts. Several groups shared educational materials at the event, including the Island Art Association, Amelia Island Sea Turtle Watch, and the Museum of Science & History (MOSH). The grand finale of the day, after the picture taking, was the crowd “smash down,” taking down the sculpture and adding the sand to the volleyball courts.
Attendees were reminded that sandcastles, holes, moats, and beach equipment like chairs and umbrellas can create dangerous obstacles for sea turtles searching for nesting spots. Once eggs hatch these obstacles can create traps for the small hatchlings trying to reach the water.
Jones organized the project as part of her master’s degree in biology through Miami University’s Project Dragonfly. Among the program requirements is completion of a Community Leadership Challenge. Her goal was to plan an event using art to focus on a conservation issue. A brainstorming session came up with the “Last Sand Castle on the Beach” and sand artists Sue Beatrice and Andy Gerter agreed to come and sculpt.
The project reflects Keep Nassau Beautiful’s dedication to conservation, sustainability, and beautification efforts in Nassau County, Florida.
