Why the Karen Read trial captured the nation's attention

The verdict is in: A jury found Karen Read not guilty of second-degree murder.

Read was accused of killing her boyfriend, Boston police officer John O'Keefe in Canton in January 2022. Prosecutors said she hit him with her car then left him to die in a snowstorm.

Read and her defense team said she was framed.
