Long before she was charged with murder in the death of John O'Keefe, Karen Read had a successful career as a financial analyst and adjunct professor at Bentley College. And moments after she allegedly reversed her SUV into him on the front lawn of another officer's house on Jan. 29, 2022, she left him a voicemail that was replayed for the jurors, saying, “John, I hate you.” Read, who contends she was framed by police, has been supported by friends and family including William Read, a former dean at Bentley who put up $50,000 bail for his daughter. She has battled adversity before, undergoing multiple surgeries for Crohn’s disease before being diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, and her father told the Boston Globe, “Karen will never break down and she will never lose her resolve.”
