Jurors inKaren Read's second murder trialheard continued testimony from a digital forensics' expert key to the prosecution's case, after a day of intense cross-examination. Prosecutors sayRead, 45, struckJohn O'Keefe, her Boston police officer boyfriend, with her Lexus SUV after a night of heavy drinking and left him to die during a massive snowstorm in January 2022. Her lawyers say she was framed for the death in an elaborate conspiracy contrived by Massachusetts cops. Shannon Burgess, a digital forensics expert, laid out a timeline for the night O'Keefe died, using clock data from Read's vehicle and O'Keefe's phone that potentially ties Read to the crime. Her defense team has attempted to sow doubt about Burgess' testimony by questioning his credibility and accusing him of misrepresenting his academic credentials. Throughout the trial, they've sought to paint a broader picture for the jury of an investigation into O'Keefe's death riddled with bias, incompetence and deceit. Read's first trial ended in a hung jury in 2024. The whodunnit legal saga has for yearsfixated true-crime fansacross the country, spurring an array of podcasts, movies and television shows.
