A judge last week said the prosecutor in the Karen Read case used “poor judgment” in issuing a public statement defending his case but declined the defense request to remove the district attorney’s office from the trial.

Read is accused of killing her boyfriend, Boston police Officer John O’Keefe, with her SUV when she dropped him off at a fellow cop’s house in Canton, Massachusetts, early in the morning of Jan. 29, 2022, following a night of drinking. In the midst of a blizzard, Read left O’Keefe to die, prosecutors allege. He was found the next morning buried in snow and later pronounced dead. Her lawyers claim O’Keefe made it into the cop’s house that night where someone inside assaulted him and then dumped him outside in the snow to die which led to a vast conspiracy of law enforcement covering up the crime.

Read’s attorneys asked Superior Court Judge Beverly J. Cannone to throw Norfolk County District Attorney Michael Morrissey’s office off the case because of a video issued last August. In the video, Morrissey railed against the “harassment of witnesses” in the case. He said the people who were in the cop’s home that night were witnesses, not suspects as the defense contends.
