State Police Investigator Testifies Under Scrutiny in Karen Read Murder Trial
In the high-profile Karen Read murder trial, Massachusetts State Police Trooper Michael Proctor, the lead investigator, will testify for the prosecution. Read is accused of hitting and killing Boston police officer John O'Keefe with her SUV and leaving him to die in a snowstorm. The defense claims a coverup, alleging O'Keefe was killed in a fight and dragged outside. Proctor is under internal investigation for his handling of the case, with the defense accusing him of planting evidence. The trial is expected to conclude by the end of June.
