Karen Read's Defense CRUMBLES: Judge Rules No Evidence of Police Conspiracy

Justice moved closer for fallen Boston Police Officer John O'Keefe today as Judge Beverly Cannone demolished Karen Read's baseless conspiracy defense. In a pivotal June 12, 2025 ruling, the judge found ZERO evidence supporting Read's wild claims that Officer O'Keefe was murdered by other people and she was framed in an elaborate police cover-up.
The prosecution's case remains rock solid: Karen Read, intoxicated after drinking at multiple bars, deliberately reversed her Lexus SUV at 24 mph into her boyfriend during a violent argument, then fled the scene leaving him to die in a snowbank. The defense's desperate attempt to blame homeowner Brian Albert and ATF agent Brian Higgins was rejected by Judge Cannone, who found no evidence either man had any motive to harm Officer O'Keefe.

Defense attorney David Yannetti's last-ditch motion for directed verdict was swiftly denied, with prosecutors highlighting the defense witnesses' "conflicting testimony" and obvious "bias and advocacy." The defense's failure to call Brian Albert, Brian Higgins, or even fired investigator Michael Proctor to testify speaks volumes - they knew these witnesses would destroy their conspiracy fiction.

This video analyzes why the judge correctly limited the defense's ability to falsely accuse innocent law enforcement officers of murder. We examine the solid evidence showing Read's guilt: her intoxication, the couple's deteriorating relationship, the physical evidence of vehicular homicide, and her consciousness of guilt in fleeing the scene.

As closing arguments approach Friday morning, the prosecution stands ready to secure justice for Officer John O'Keefe. Assistant District Attorney Adam Lally and Special Prosecutor Hank Brennan will present the clear, compelling case against Karen Read, who faces second-degree murder charges and life in prison for her heinous crime.

The defense's conspiracy theory has crumbled. The evidence is overwhelming. It's time for the jury to deliver justice for a fallen hero who deserved better than being left to die by someone who claimed to love him.
