KAREN READ, THE BOSTON POLICE, AND THE BATTLE FOR TRUTH Why I Believe She Was Framed – and How a Blogger Became Her Loudest Ally By RICHIE D MOWREY for The Sassy Gazette (The Gossip You Didn’t Know You Needed) Executive Summary Karen Read’s murder trials will go down as one of Massachusetts’ most divisive legal sagas. On paper, it was about whether Read backed over her boyfriend, Boston Police Officer John O’Keefe, and left him to die in a blizzard. But in reality?

I’ve said from the start: I believe Karen Read is innocent. I believe she was targeted in a sloppy, politically protected cover-up, where the truth was bent, twisted, and buried. The DA’s Office? In my opinion, they’re no better than the cops they work with they lie, spin, and hide evidence when it suits them. And if it weren...
