Summary
When a Boston cop ends up dead in the snow, the last person to see him alive becomes the center of a storm—was Karen Read a heartbroken girlfriend in crisis, or the scapegoat in a twisted cover-up? Prosecutors argue she backed into Officer John O’Keefe with her SUV and left him to die. The defense says she’s been framed by the very people sworn to protect. This case is unraveling in real time, built on emotional outbursts, contradictory witness memories, and a single chilling question: did she hit him—or just think she might have? Former prosecutor Eric Faddis joins us to dissect what’s real, what’s circumstantial, and what might just be courtroom theater. This isn’t just a trial—it’s a legal minefield where truth may be the first casualty.
