On Thursday, the prosecution concluded its case in the trial of Karen Read, who is accused of allegedly reversing her SUV into her boyfriend, Boston police officer John O’Keefe.

Crash reconstruction expert Judson Welcher concluded his testimony during the morning session at the Norfolk Superior Court in Massachusetts. He addressed the glass discovered at the crime scene, the suspension level of Read’s SUV at the time of the incident, and the speed at which her vehicle reversed, as reported by CrimeOnline.

Karen Read, 45, a former adjunct professor at Bentley University, has pleaded not guilty to second-degree murder and other charges. Her initial trial concluded with a mistrial after the jury could not reach a unanimous decision.

Prosecutors alleged that Read struck O’Keefe with her Lexus SUV during a snowstorm on January 29, 2022, following a night of drinking. They also introduced evidence of an admission that Read allegedly made the morning O’Keefe’s body was discovered, along with damage found on her vehicle and a timeline placing Read at the crime scene.

However, Read maintained that the crash never occurred and claimed she had been framed for O’Keefe’s murder. She reportedly said that fellow police officers beat O’Keefe inside friend Brian Albert’s home in Canton, before he was left outside and attacked by a dog.

After leaving the courthouse, Read labeled the prosecution’s case “unjust” and said she’s ready for her defense. She announced that her team will start with Matthew DiSogra, a director of engineering at DeltaV, a firm specializing in motor vehicle accident reconstruction, according to FOX News Digital.

The trial continues. Check back for updates.
