The defense in the second trial of Karen Read has rested its case, saying Read was framed for the killing of her Boston police officer boyfriend.
Prosecutor Hank Brennan opened his closing argument by saying Read callously decided to leave O’Keefe dying in the snow, fully aware that he was gravely injured. He described that decision as “a choice” to let O’Keefe die. He also said Read was well beyond the legal alcohol limit when she drove at the time.
The jury in the Karen Read trial heard drastically different closing arguments Friday before deliberations began.
