Four months have passed since a jury acquitted Karen Read for the murder of Boston police officer John O’Keefe. Some involved in the three-year saga have seen their reputations permanently tarnished. Others are riding the case’s notoriety to newfound fame and monetary rewards. The obvious question remains: if Karen Read didn’t kill John O’Keefe, who did? Scrutiny has swung from the accused to the accusers: the Canton Police Department, Massachusetts State Police and Norfolk County District Attorney’s Office. As for Karen, there’s no indication she plans to leave the spotlight. A movie is in the works. So is a tell-all book. Then again, so is a civil trial in which she stands to lose tens of thousands in future proceeds. For John’s loved ones and many others, the drama is far from over—it’s just entered a new, equally contentious chapter.
