Jurors begin first full day of deliberations in Karen Read's murder retrial for the alleged hit-and-run death of Boston police officer John O'Keefe in 2022
Karen Read is charged with killing her police officer boyfriend John O’Keefe. She is being retried after her first case ended with a deadlocked jury last year.
