The special prosecutor in Karen Read ’s retrial slammed her rabid fanbase’s “campaign of intimidation and abuse” in a scathing statement on Monday — less than a week after she was found not guilty of murdering her Boston cop boyfriend.
Hank Brennan, who was assigned after Read’s first case ended in a mistrial, also took a swipe at the financial analyst, declaring his investigation yielded no other suspects in the death of 46-year-old John O’Keefe.“District Attorney Michael Morrissey appointed me, giving me full discretion to independently assess the case and follow the evidence no matter where it led. After an independent and thorough review of all the evidence, I concluded that the evidence led to one person, and only one person,” Brennan said in the statement. “Neither the closed federal investigation nor my independent review led me to identify any other possible suspect or person responsible for the death of John O’Keefe,” Brennan wrote in a statement.

Than I have and my team,” she said outside the court. The prosecution argued that Read slammed O’Keefe with her SUV during a blizzard and left him to die in a snowbank while she was drunk after a night of partying.The defense, meanwhile, argued that Read was nothing but a scapegoat for the police who were purposefully conspiring against her. O’Keefe’s friends, the McCabe and Albert families, who served as key witnesses during the case, believed that the verdict was a “miscarriage of justice.” “Today we mourn with John’s family and lament the cruel reality that this prosecution was infected by lies and conspiracy theories spread by Karen Read, her defense team, and some in the media. The result is a devastating miscarriage of justice,” they wrote last week.
