Karen Read’s Retrial Kicks Off! The second murder trial began Tuesday for Karen Read, who is accused of killing her police officer boyfriend, John O’Keefe.

Read has been charged with second-degree murder, manslaughter and leaving the scene. We discuss the trial’s opening statements and discuss how this trial might differ from the 1st trial.
