About this episode
One year after her acquittal, Karen Read is back in court—this time as the plaintiff.
In this special update episode, we break down the explosive civil lawsuit Karen Read has filed against the Massachusetts State Police and the Town of Canton. The complaint alleges misconduct, bias, and institutional failures that Read claims contributed to her prosecution in the death of Boston Police Officer John O'Keefe.
We examine the text messages at the center of the lawsuit, the responses from law enforcement agencies, Karen Read's appearance on the Today Show, and the growing web of civil litigation surrounding the case—including the wrongful death lawsuit filed by O'Keefe's family and the ongoing legal battles involving witnesses from the criminal trial.
What happens next, and what could discovery reveal?
All allegations discussed in this episode are claims made in court filings and have not been proven in court.
