Karen Read accused of backing into boyfriend and leaving him to die *NOT GUILTY* (Guilty of OUI) (1 Viewer)

This woman didn't do this. I'd be willing to bet that someone in the house did it. Someone in the house looked up "How long will it take for somebody to die in the cold." Karen couldn't have done that search.

Is there a cover up conspiracy?

Karen Read asks court to dismiss civil lawsuit filed by family of John O'Keefe

Karen Read is asking for a court to dismiss the civil lawsuit filed against her by the family of Boston police officer John O'Keefe.
www.cbsnews.com www.cbsnews.com


Karen Read is asking for a Massachusetts court to dismiss the civil lawsuit filed against her by the family of Boston police officer John O'Keefe, who she was acquitted of killing last month.
O'Keefe's family filed the wrongful death lawsuit against Read and two Canton bars in August 2024 in Plymouth Superior Court.

Karen Read seeks to dismiss lawsuit​

On Wednesday, Read's attorneys filed a motion to dismiss the lawsuit. The filing did not provide additional details on why Read seeks to dismiss the lawsuit.
"Pursuant to Superior Court Rule 9E, the Defendant, Karen Read, hereby notifies the Court that she served a Motion to Dismiss pursuant to Superior Court Rule 9A upon all parties on July 9, 2025," the filing said.
Read was accused of killing O'Keefe, a Boston police officer who she was dating, after a night of heavy drinking in 2022.
In June, she was found not guilty of second-degree murder, manslaughter while operating under the influence of alcohol, and leaving the scene of bodily injury and death in the death. Jurors found Read guilty only of operating under the influence.
On July 3, Read added three new attorneys to represent her in the civil case. Aaron Davis, Charles Waters, and Damon Seligson were added to her legal team. Alan Jackson, David Yannetti, Bob Alessi and Elizabeth Little, Read's attorneys from her criminal trial, are not currently involved in her civil case.

Lawsuit filed by John O'Keefe's family​

The lawsuit also includes the two bars Read was drinking at on January 28, 2022, C.F. McCarthy's and the Waterfall Bar and Grille in Canton.
The O'Keefe family seeks at least $50,000 in damages for what the lawsuit calls "conscious pain and suffering, fear of impending death, wrongful death, lost value to next of kin, severe and profound emotional distress manifesting in bodily symptoms, and other compensable damages."
In a civil lawsuit, there is a much lower legal standard than what exists in a criminal case like Read's high-profile trial that played out in Norfolk Superior Court.

No thanks. Not a bit of interest in her life nor anything she nor Jackson have to say.

Now if it were about the victim, I'd read it in a heartbeat but he's not here going on TV and talk shows talking of HIS life.

They are only suing her for $50k. She should just settle out of court. It would be cheaper than paying her lawyer fees.

The money would likely just go to John's niece and nephew. She is just a selfish cow.

For the family to go this low, I suspect what is important to them is she is found "guilty" and they wouldn't settle with her. Civil trials are also used to get more evidence and she will be deposed and have to testify in this one. Not that she can be retried but more info could definitely be publicized, etc. and I'd like to see her squirm under real questioning. I don't think she'd do well.

Karen Read plans to sue Massachusetts State Police, McCabe and Albert family members, Michael Proctor and more

Karen Read was back in a Massachusetts courtroom Monday for a hearing in the civil suit that was filed against her by John O'Keefe's family.
www.cbsnews.com www.cbsnews.com

​


Karen Read was back in court Monday for a hearing in the civil lawsuit that was filed against her by John O'Keefe's family. Her legal team revealed that she plans to sue Massachusetts State Police and other key players in the high-profile murder case.
In June, a jury acquitted Read on the most serious charges she faced in the death of O'Keefe, her Boston police officer boyfriend. Read had been accused of hitting O'Keefe and leaving him to die in the snow outside 34 Fairview Road in Canton after a night of heavy drinking in January 2022.
In a civil trial, there is a much lower legal standard for proof of guilt. The lawsuit, filed by O'Keefe's family last year after Read's first criminal trial ended in a mistrial, is seeking at least $50,000 in damages.
"It's the often-used example of the O.J. Simpson trial where he was found not guilty but then was sued in civil court, was found liable," said WBZ legal analyst Katherine Loftus.

Karen Read plans to sue​

Read's lawyer Damon Seligson told the court that she has plans to sue Massachusetts State Police, Lt. Brian Tully, Sgt. Yuri Bukhenik and fired Trooper Michael Proctor for violating her civil rights and conspiracy. Seligson said she also intends to bring claims against Brian Albert, Nicole Albert, Matthew McCabe, Jennifer McCabe and Brian Higgins, who were inside the home at 34 Fairview on the night O'Keefe died, for civil conspiracy and violation of Read's civil rights.
"The individuals in the house diverted attention away from themselves toward Ms. Read," Seligson alleged. "Then they collectively conspired to ensure that what happened in the house was not explored and investigated."
Additionally Read plans to sue the town of Canton for negligent failure to secure the garage in the Canton police sallyport.
"The days of Karen Read being on the defense are over," Read's attorney Alan Jackson said outside court.

Karen Read civil lawsuit​

Unlike the criminal trial that took place in Norfolk Superior Court in Dedham under Judge Beverly Cannone, the civil suit is being heard in Plymouth Superior Court with Judge Daniel O'Shea presiding.
Paul O'Keefe, the brother of John O'Keefe, is the lead plaintiff in the lawsuit. Also listed as plaintiffs are O'Keefe's parents and his niece, who he was taking care of at the time of his death.
The lawsuit argues that Read's negligence and "reckless disregard for safety" that night caused O'Keefe's death. It also alleges that Read "outrageously created a false narrative" about O'Keefe's death.
"Karen drives drunk. She reverses her SUV. She knocks J.J. down. She leaves him to die in the cold. And Read knows that she strikes the plaintiff," O'Keefe family lawyer Marc Diller alleged. "The facts demonstrate that Ms. Read should have known that her extreme and outrageous conduct would be detrimental to these vulnerable plaintiffs."
Additionally, the O'Keefe family is suing C.F. McCarthy's and the Waterfall Bar and Grille in Canton. They say the two bars are liable for serving Read alcohol that night.
In her criminal trial, Read was found guilty of operating under the influence of alcohol and received a year of probation.
After the hearing, Read was asked how it felt to be back in the courtroom. "Nothing like it did before," Read said. "The hard part is over."

Karen Read moves to dismiss part of lawsuit​

Read is arguing to dismiss the O'Keefe family's claim of "emotional distress" from the lawsuit, as the defense says the family was not present at the time of the alleged collision.
"The Defendant's statements in which she questioned and/or denied striking the Decedent with her vehicle (allegedly creating a false narrative) or speculated that a snowplow may have struck the Decedent, do not rise to the level of intent toward the Plaintiffs," a filing from the defense states.
Read's legal team will be somewhat different for the civil case. Alan Jackson, the lead defense attorney in her criminal trial, will be representing her again in the lawsuit. She will also be aided by attorneys Aaron Davis, Charles Waters and Seligson.
Judge O'Shea said he envisions "a very long and complex process" for the civil case. He will decide whether some of the claims can be dismissed before another hearing on Nov. 21.
"My sense is that nobody is going to be ready to go to trial by the springtime," he said.

Tom was/is covering this and I was going to come in and state there was a hearing but I never got around to it.

Another thing a civil trial does versus a criminal trial is she is not protected from having to answer questions. They should mention that. it isn't that it is just a lower bar. Both things are quite different.

No surprise her and Jackson are going the route they are, they are definitely the types. Much like Barry Morphew and Iris.

Mass. State Police union ended support for Michael Proctor appeal before withdrawal

The state police union president said he hopes the "decisive move closes a deeply embarrassing chapter in State Police history."

Mass. State Police union ended support for Michael Proctor appeal before withdrawal​

By
The decision by former Massachusetts State Police trooper Michael Proctor to withdraw his appeal of his termination came after the union representing troopers voted to pull its support of the appeal just days before scheduled hearings.
The executive board of the State Police Association of Massachusetts, which previously supported Proctor’s appeal, voted unanimously to “sever all support for his appeal” after the discovery of new evidence on his personal cell phone.
It’s not clear what exactly was found on Proctor’s phone, but prosecutors said they uncovered discoverable information in several pending murder cases he investigated, including that of Myles King.
“We hope this decisive move closes a deeply embarrassing chapter in State Police history,” SPAM President Brian Williams said in a statement provided by a spokesperson.
The move essentially left Proctor without a lawyer to represent him. Daniel Moynihan, the lawyer representing Proctor, serves as counsel for the union.
It’s a rapid reversal of position for the union, which previously criticized the decision to fire Proctor.
“The decision to terminate was guided by expedience, the relentless drumbeat of conspiracy theorists and the intense glare of the media spotlight. Sadly, in the end it was easier for the Department to terminate Michael Proctor than it was for them to stand tall and face the critics,” Williams said in March, when Proctor’s firing was announced.
Proctor was set to appear before the Civil Service Commission for the final three of five scheduled days of hearings on his appeal starting Tuesday. The hearings were set to address his claim that he was treated differently than other troopers.
State Police terminated Proctor in March largely due to his conduct in the Karen Read investigation, during which he sent a series of unprofessional and derogatory texts about Read, including one where he said he wished she would kill herself.
But a recent extraction of Proctor’s cell phone uncovered what the Norfolk County District Attorney’s office described as “materials that it reasonably believes to be discoverable.” That includes texts and chats as well as video and audio files.
The extraction also recovered emails and photos on the phone, prosecutors wrote in a court filing last week.
That is a sharp contrast to what Moynihan, Proctor’s lawyer, represented in a court filing this summer. In the filing, Moynihan said Proctor had obtained a new phone last year and installed software that automatically deleted its data every 30 days.
“Therefore ... it is unlikely Mr. Proctor has any relevant information in his possession concerning this case,” Moynihan wrote in a motion filed in the King case.
Prosecutors said they anticipated completing their review of the information from Proctor’s phone on Friday.
“Michael Proctor’s sudden withdrawal of his appeal wasn’t an act of humility — it was self-preservation," said Alan Jackson, the lawyer who led Read’s criminal defense. “He learned investigators have recovered text messages from his private phone dating back years, and he wanted no part of what those text messages would reveal. He didn’t accept accountability — it hunted him down.”

Scandal Involving Cops In Karen Read Case Worsens - LAmag

Phone data from ex-trooper Michael Proctor may upend 19 murder cases as fallout from the Karen Read case widens.

Scandal Involving Cops In Karen Read Case Worsens​

Los Angeles defense attorney Alan Jackson, who represented Read, continues to demand answers about what he calls a frame job of his client and an ensuing coverup

The fallout from the phone records of former Massachusetts State Police Trooper Michael Proctor, which were initially revealed during the trial of Karen Read, could jeopardize as many as 19 murder cases, including one where a murder suspect’s grisly crime is connected to a West Hollywood art gallery, according to a recent court filing.

The 19 defendants whose cases involve information retrieved from Proctor’s cell phone or iCloud data by federal investigators probing the work of Norfolk County detectives in several high-profile homicides, including Read and Brian Walshe, the Massachusetts man who allegedly dismembered his wife Ana while awaiting sentencing in connection with a federal art fraud case reported by Ron Rivlin, the owner of Revolver Gallery on Sunset Boulevard.

Proctor had been fighting to get his job back until last month, when Norfolk County prosecutors admitted in a court filing that his personal cellphone data contained “images of intimate body parts” and other “highly sensitive” information. The union that represent State Police troopers declined to continue to represent him in his fight, and he ended it.
The new disclosure, according to court filings, means previously undisclosed Brady material connected to Proctor that could prove exculpatory to at least 19 defendants charged with murder or in connection with a murder in Norfolk County, the District Attorney’s Office helmed by career Massachusetts politician Michael Morrissey. Proctor was fired by the Massachusetts State Police in March after being forced to vulgar text messages he sent to a group text chat that included his superior officers about Read in her first trial, which ended in a hung jury.
But those text messages are continuing to haunt Morrissey’s office and could taint other prosecutions as the fallout from Read’s high-profile case spreads far beyond the Norfolk Superior courthouse where her second trial on murder charges ended in an acquittal on the most serious charges this summer. Last week, another police official, Canton, MA Police Sergeant Sean Goode, was placed on paid leave connected to unspecified allegations of misconduct.
Goode is now among a growing number of law enforcement officers suspended, disciplined, or reassigned following their involvement in Read’s prosecution. She and her legal team have steadfastly maintained she was the victim of a police frame job and ensuing cover-up to protect the homeowner, a Boston cop, who was hosting a house party when her boyfriend, John O’Keefe, was found dead outside the home in Canton. O’Keefe was also a Boston police officer.
The same prosecutor’s office was responsible for the investigation into the murder of Sandra Birchmore, a pregnant 23-year-old teacher’s aide whose body was also found in her Canton apartment after a blizzard a year before O’Keefe’s remains were recovered in a snowbank. Birchmore’s death was investigated as a suicide by Proctor’s colleagues in the Norfolk County District Attorney’s Office despite overwhelming evidence that the last person who saw her alive – former Stoughton Police Detective and MassCops union official Matthew Farwell – had reason to kill her because he believed she was pregnant with his child.
Farwell visited Birchmore before she was found dead, and left her home to be at his wife’s side for the birth of their third child, according to a federal indictment.
Prosecutors say Farwell, who is slated to be arraigned on a superseding indictment connected to the death of Birchmore’s 8 to 10-week-old male baby this week, staged her death to look like a suicide and may have gotten away with it if the FBI had not begun its own investigation into the case. Farwell was arrested by the FBI in August 2024 and has been held since.
