Karen Read files lawsuit alleging ‘gross misconduct’ by state police shielded real killers
Karen Read alleges Massachusetts State Police misconduct and conspiracy to cover up her boyfriend's death, seeking accountability for civil rights violations and wrongful prosecution.
- Karen Read, recently acquitted in the 2022 death of Boston Police Officer John O'Keefe, filed a sweeping civil lawsuit Monday in Taunton's Bristol Superior Court reprising material from her criminal trials and media interviews.
- Karen Read alleges O'Keefe was killed inside Brian and Nicole Albert's home at 34 Fairview Road in Canton during a late-night house party and that the defendants staged the scene as a hit-and-run by moving his body outside and not calling for help.
- The complaint alleges Massachusetts State Police investigators planted taillight fragments and glass, deleted footage, falsified reports, and that two defendants destroyed phones after a preservation order, citing Michael Proctor's secret texts and alleged evidence planting before his firing.
- Defendants have yet to respond to the new complaint, and five witnesses plan to sue Read and blogger Aiden Kearney for defamation, while Read seeks damages and a jury trial.
- Read's lawyers said they will move to consolidate this civil case with the O'Keefe family's wrongful-death suit, noting that Michael Proctor's firing could affect the Brian Walshe trial, while `neither Mr. O'Keefe nor his family have received justice.
