The jury foreman in the Karen Read retrial called on the FBI to take its own look into the death of Boston Police Department officer John O’Keefe.
On June 18, the jury acquitted Read of second-degree murder charges. However, they convicted her of driving a vehicle while intoxicated, with a blood-alcohol concentration of .08% or higher.
Juror No. 1 told the Boston Herald that the FBI should do its own investigation into O’Keefe’s death.
“There are so many holes that need to be filled,” Juror No. 1 said. “Now that the FBI knows Karen Read is not a suspect, something happened, and multiple jurors feel that way.”

Read’s defense team maintained during the trial that Read never hit O’Keefe, instead blaming his injuries on an altercation with other men at the after-party.

According to witnesses who testified in court, while Read’s car was outside Albert’s house, she and O’Keefe weren’t seen at the after-party. Read told reporters that she saw O’Keefe enter the house prior to her driving away.
Fox News Digital reached out to the FBI for comment.
