"Karen Read's High BAC Scrutinized in Fifth Week of Murder Trial"

In the fifth week of Karen Read's murder trial, a former state police toxicologist testified that Read was still legally intoxicated or close to it eight hours after allegedly hitting her boyfriend, Boston police officer John O'Keefe, with her SUV. The defense argues that the investigation was tainted due to the homeowner's relationship with local and state police and claims Read was framed. Multiple witnesses have described the couple's stormy relationship, and the defense has implicated other suspects, including a federal agent who testified about disposing of his phone during the investigation.
