Karen Read pleaded not guilty to murder charges in the death of Boston police officer John O’Keefe and is facing a retrial after a jury was unable to reach a verdict last year.
On Day 10 of testimony, evidence collection, weather conditions at the scene of O’Keefe’s death on the morning of Jan. 29, 2002, and calls Read made to O’Keefe before his body was found in the snow were the focus of the retrial.
Jurors heard expert testimony on the search for how long it takes to die in the cold was made. Read allegedly left her boyfriend to die in the snow.
