Read was accused of fatally striking her boyfriend with her SUV and leaving him to die in the snow.
Read is accused of striking her boyfriend, John O’Keefe, with her SUV and leaving him to die in the snow — but her supporters say she's the victim of a vast police conspiracy.
Last year, the judge declared a mistrial after jurors said they were at an impasse and that deliberating further would be futile.
The family of police officer John O'Keefe filed the wrongful death lawsuit against Read and two bars where they had been drinking on the night of his death.
WHAT'S HAPPENING
The 44-year-old was accused of backing her SUV into John O’Keefe and leaving him for dead while she was intoxicated, but supporters argued she was the victim of a police conspiracy.
Massachusetts State Police Trooper Michael Proctor admitted the texts were “unprofessional and regrettable.”
Aidan Timothy Kearney, known as "Turtleboy," has led a movement to "Free Karen Read," a woman accused of running over and killing her boyfriend, a Boston police officer.
