from It's A Crime with Margaret McLean · host Margaret McLean
Send us Fan MailThe defense insists that their client Karen Read was framed for a murder she did not commit. They argue that she did not strike her boyfriend, Boston Police Officer John O'Keefe, with her SUV and leave him there to die all alone in a blizzard. Instead, they claim something sinister happened to John inside 34 Fairview in Canton, Massachusetts, the home of a fellow Boston Police Officer. They suggest he was beaten inside the house, attacked by a dog, and left outside to die. But how do they explain the debris field of broken taillight and glass near his body? The pieces of taillight match Karen's Lexus. Was there enough time and opportunity for a corrupt state trooper to smash out the taillight and secretly plant the evidence at the scene to frame her? Join former prosecutor Margaret McLean and author Kevin Lenihan for an enlightening discussion and timeline.#KarenReadTrian #KarenRead #crime #trials
