Karen Read's 2nd Murder Trial Day 17 — Watch LIVE Witness Testimony

Testimony continues Friday (May 16, day 17) in Karen Read’s second trial in Massachusetts. Norfolk County Superior Court Judge Beverly Cannone is presiding. Read's lawyer Robert Alessi will continue questioning Maureen Hartnett of the Massachusetts State Police Crime Lab. Read, 45, is charged with the January 2022 death of her boyfriend, John O'Keefe, 46, who was an officer with the Boston Police Department. Prosecutors say she was drunk when she backed her car into him. Her defense is that O'Keefe was murdered by Brian Albert, a Boston police detective, and Brian Higgins, a federal ATF agent, and she is being framed through a broad Massachusetts police conspiracy. Read's first trial ended in a mistrial after the jury deadlocked, though jurors later revealed they voted to acquit on the murder and and the leaving the scene charge but were deadlocked on manslaughter. Legal affairs journalist Meghann Cuniff will live stream the proceedings to try to give her followers a place to watch and discuss the trial. ****************************************************************************** Become a member of Meghann's YouTube channel to show your support:    / @meghanncuniff   Subscribe to Legal Affairs and Trials with Meghann Cuniff: https://www.legalaffairsandtrials.com...
