The highly anticipated trial of Karen Read, accused of murdering her boyfriend, Boston police Officer John O’Keefe, in 2022, begins Monday with opening statements.
You can watch the Karen Read trial live on nbcboston.com, NECN, NBC Boston streaming platforms (including Roku, Peacock, and Samsung TV), and NBC10 Boston’s YouTube page. Each evening of the trial at 7 p.m., return for analysis and updates.
After a five-day jury selection process, 12 jurors and four alternates will be officially selected Monday. They will play a crucial role in determining Read’s fate.
Prosecutors and the defense will each have 45 minutes on Monday morning to deliver their opening statements. The defense plans to argue that Read is being framed and that someone else is responsible for O’Keefe’s death. However, the judge has restricted the defense from making this argument during the opening statements, emphasizing the need to present evidence during the trial.
The trial is expected to span six to eight weeks, with full-day sessions on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, and half-day sessions on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Stay tuned for ongoing coverage and developments in this high-profile case.
