Summary

Karen Read faces a jury once again in what some are calling “the retrial of the century.” Prosecutors allege Read hit her boyfriend, Boston Police Officer John O’Keefe, with her SUV, leaving him to die in the snow, while she claims that she is not only innocent, but that someone close to O’Keefe is framing her for murder. This week’s Court TV Podcast features key testimony from the Commonwealth’s case: Christina Hanley, a trace analyst with the Massachusetts State Police Crime Lab.
