Summary
Robert Peabody is a former prosecutor and attorney with Husch Blackwell's White Collar, Internal Investigations & Compliance practice group in Boston, Massachusetts. He provides insight on Karen Read second murder trial.
Karen Read, a 44-year-old financial analyst, is accused of hitting and killing her boyfriend, Boston Police Officer John O'Keefe, with her SUV in January 2022, after a night of heavy drinking, and leaving him to die in the snow. A mistrial was declared in July 2024 when a jury failed to reach a unanimous verdict after a months-long, contentious trial and five days of deliberation.
