The family of a Boston police officer filed a wrongful death lawsuit Monday against Karen Read, the Massachusetts woman whose murder trial in the officer’s death ended with a hung jury in July. The civil suit, filed in Plymouth County Superior Court by the estate of John O’Keefe, also accuses two bars of wrongful death for allegedly serving Read alcohol when she was already intoxicated on the night of Jan. 28, 2022.
On July 1, after five days of deliberations, a judge declared a mistrial when jurors could not reach a unanimous verdict on the charges. According to Read’s lawyers, four jurors have since come forward and said the entire panel reached not guilty verdicts on two charges: second-degree murder and leaving the scene of a collision. The jury remained deadlocked on the remaining manslaughter charge, according to the lawyers.
