Cover Up or Cold-Blooded Murder? The Case of Karen Read

Karen Read was charged with second-degree murder for the death of her boyfriend, Boston Police officer John O’Keefe. According to prosecutors, Karen deliberately hit John with her car while dropping him off at a friend’s house, leaving him to die in the snow. But her defense team claims that she is the victim of a cover up, perpetrated by the police. Karen was supposed to go to trial this month, but now, it is delayed due to new evidence. In today’s Headlines, Candice is joined by legal analyst Josh Ritter to discuss why the trial date was pushed, and what we can expect to see from both sides when they finally face a jury.
