A Massachusetts jury on Wednesday acquitted Karen Read on all charges related to the death of her former boyfriend, Boston Police Officer John O'Keefe, who died more than three years ago. The verdict occurred during Read's second trial, after the first ended in a mistrial last year. Read did not testify in either trial. Read had been accused of hitting O'Keefe with her car outside a Boston house party and then leaving O'Keefe to die in a snow storm. However, her defense claimed the ex-cop was beaten and bitten by a dog and left in the cold, per the New York Post.
