Crimes of the Century CLE: Murder Trial of Karen Read
In the freezing winter of 2022, Boston Police Officer John O’Keefe was found dead in a snowbank outside a fellow officer’s home. His girlfriend, Karen Read, was accused of killing him with her SUV and leaving him to die. What followed were two high-profile trials - the first ending in a mistrial, the second in a full acquittal - that captured national attention and became a masterclass in the art of creating reasonable doubt.
In this engaging, story-driven CLE, we’ll walk through both trials, analyze the prosecution’s and defense’s theories, compare the two proceedings, and break down the strategies that led to the ultimate not-guilty verdict. Along the way, you’ll gain practical trial tips for defending circumstantial murder cases, managing pretrial publicity, and leveraging jury instructions to your advantage. Register today!
