Karen Read is charged with second -degree murder, manslaughter, and leaving the scene of an injury or accident.

The allegations stem from the mysterious death of her Boston police officer boyfriend, John O'Keefe , who was found on the lawn of another Boston officer, Brian Albert , in a blizzard.

The trial snowballed into a global internet obsession by the time it ended in a hung jury last July .

Forensic pathologist Elizabeth Laposata will testify that O'Keefe 's injuries were not caused by collision or hypothermia.

O’Keefe was left to die in Albert ’s front yard during a blizzard for over five hours .

Albert 's dog attacked a dog and bit a woman who tried to intervene.

Albert rehomed his dog and moved out of the house he and his family had owned for decades .

Kerry Roberts was with Read when he discovered O'Keefe 's body on the lawn in 2022 .

She has since testified about noticing Read ’s taillight was broken, but didn’t mention it in her initial interview with law enforcement.

McCabe has maintained that she only made the search after O’Keefe was found in the snow.
