Special prosecutor Hank Brennan has requested phone records from Verizon and video footage from WFXT-TV related to the Karen Read case. The new evidence stems from a 2023 television special in which Read’s family was interviewed, shedding light on potential new leads in prosecuting the Mansfield woman accused of striking her boyfriend, Boston Police Officer John O’Keefe, with her car.
Brennan believes that the phone records of Read’s father, William Read, could provide crucial information about her whereabouts and communication on the night of O’Keefe’s death. He also seeks the full video of the interviews conducted by Boston 25 for further insight.
The prosecutor plans to use William Read’s testimonies and media statements as potential evidence in Karen Read’s upcoming trial. He aims to establish a pattern of behavior where Karen Read would call her parents after engaging in domestic disputes with her boyfriend during late hours and under the influence of alcohol.
Brennan’s request for the new evidence suggests that he is delving deeper into the case to strengthen the prosecution against Karen Read. With the upcoming trial scheduled for January, the focus on the information provided in the television special could potentially shed new light on the events surrounding O’Keefe’s tragic death. This development is crucial in pursuing justice and bringing closure to the case.
