Karen Read’s trial for the alleged murder of Boston police officer John O’Keefe is set to begin next week after five days of jury selection. A jury of 16 will hear the case, which has drawn significant media attention and speculation. The defense has claimed that Read is being framed as part of a police coverup, while prosecutors are expected to present evidence to support their case that Read intentionally drove her car into O’Keefe while intoxicated. The trial is expected to last eight weeks.
