Karen Read murder trial complete coverage: Day to day data, story links, witness lists
The Karen Read murder trial began on April 29 in Norfolk Superior Court in Dedham.
This landing page serves as a complete guide to trial coverage, including the complete witness lists, when each witness was first called to the stand, and links to each day’s coverage.
By the conclusion of the first week, prosecutors had called 12 witnesses. That number had more than doubled to 26 witnesses by the end of week two. Thirty-nine had been called at the end of week three. ATF Agent Brian Higgins, a central figure in the case, closed week four out as the 43rd witness. The fifth week of trial, which consisted of a single day, saw seven more people testify, bringing the total to 50.
Read, 44, of Mansfield, is charged with second-degree murder, motor vehicle manslaughter and leaving the scene of a collision causing death. The charges stemmed from the death of O’Keefe, a 16-year member of the Boston police force and Read’s boyfriend of two years, in the early morning of Jan. 29, 2022.
In lists released April 15, prosecutors Adam Lally and Laura McLaughlin included 87 names. Defense attorneys David Yannetti, Alan Jackson and Elizabeth Little included 77 names, with much overlap with the prosecution’s list.
Here’s who has been called so far in the case and the full witness lists submitted by both the prosecution and the defense. The daily list is compiled on the first day that a witness testifies in front of the jury.
The included lists are as they were submitted. The names and ranks listed in day-by-day are updated to reflect any changes in rank or other detail from the submitted lists.

Karen Read murder trial: Defense has concerns about placement of jury box, by Flint McColgan, April 19.
A full jury has yet to be seated in the Karen Read murder trial but the defense has expressed concerns over whether each juror will see what they’re supposed to see.
Karen Read case: The theories of a Canton murder, by Flint McColgan, April 20.
The murder case of Karen Read, set for trial this week in Norfolk Superior Court in Dedham, is one complex beast.
A Google search Saturday afternoon of just the defendant’s name in quotes returned more than nine million results. Any cursory examination of the discussion on any web forum, be it Reddit or X — the platform formerly known as Twitter — is a rabbit hole that could suck one in for hours, days, or even months.
Many observers are, rightly or wrongly, obsessed with the finer details of the case and have staked strong claims on the guilt or innocence of the 44-year-old former financial analyst and Bentley University lecturer from Mansfield. She’s accused of killing her boyfriend of two years, Boston Police Officer John O’Keefe, in Canton on Jan. 29, 2022.
Karen Read case: Prosecutors challenge bringing DA to witness stand, by Flint McColgan, April 23.
The prosecutors in the Karen Read case are challenging her defense’s ability to bring their boss to the witness stand in the upcoming trial.
…
Attorneys from both sides filed lists of possible witnesses before jury selection got started last week. The prosecution listed 87 potential witnesses. The defense listed 77 of their own potential witnesses, but with a great amount of overlap with the prosecution’s list. However, one name stood out: Norfolk District Attorney Michael Morrissey.
Karen Read murder case: Final jury seated for trial, by Flint McColgan, April 24.
Attorneys in the Karen Read murder case have seated a jury of 19 for the upcoming trial.
A total of 12 jurors will decide the fate of Mansfield’s Read, 44. The other seven will serve as alternates. The Norfolk District Attorney’s office confirmed that five new jurors were seated Wednesday after the case had lost five others seated in days before due to various reasons, including pleas of hardship. Jury selection began on April 16.
Karen Read murder trial will be held in smaller courtroom, by Flint McColgan, April 25.
The Karen Read murder trial, which has become a hot-button case not only locally but for true crime lovers across the nation, will be held in a much smaller courtroom.
‘Turtleboy’ partially barred from Karen Read in-court trial coverage, by Flint McColgan, May 10.
Aidan “Turtleboy” Kearney, a blogger who has extensively covered the Karen Read case and is indicted on multiple counts of witness intimidation in it, is partially barred from attending the case in person.
Scenes from the Karen Read murder trial: Chaos (and police!) in the media line, by Flint McColgan, May 13.
Could the media become the message in the Karen Read murder trial?
Early Monday morning, five Dedham Police officers responded to the media line at Norfolk Superior Court in Dedham for a report of assault.
Karen Read trial surprise: ATF Agent Brian Higgins’ medical records put into evidence, by Flint McColgan, May 23.
The final witness who the Karen Read defense team has named as a possible alternative killer of John O’Keefe is expected to take the stand Friday — and, in a strange move, prosecutors put his medical records on file.
Brian Higgins is a Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) agent with keycard access to an office in the Canton Police Department, officers there have testified earlier in the Read trial.
Scenes from the Karen Read murder trial: Overheating and sirens disrupt proceedings, by Flint McColgan, May 25.
The struggle of balancing comfort and efficiency in a courthouse as old as Norfolk Superior Court in Dedham came to a minor head Friday when proceedings were halted to bring a fan in for the Karen Read trial jury.
Karen Read murder trial: A look at the forensic evidence: Cups, bags, taillights and web searches, by Flint McColgan, May 26.
At around 6 a.m. on a snowy January day in 2022, a sleepy residential street in Canton was ablaze with the blue lights of police cruisers, soon joined by an ambulance and fire truck as one of the three women surrounding the body of a Boston Police officer screamed and wailed.
When John O’Keefe was rushed away by ambulance to Brockton’s Good Samaritan Medical Center, where he would soon be pronounced dead, local police took the initial steps to collect evidence for a case that would ultimately be the investigative responsibility of the Massachusetts State Police unit assigned to the Norfolk DA’s office.
Karen Read murder trial: ‘I wish’ a common phrase in high-level witness testimonies, by Lance Reynolds, May 27.
Three high-level witnesses in the Karen Read murder trial have uttered “I wish” on the stand as they tried to prove there’s no backing to a claim by the defense that they’re part of a frame job.
The witnesses – Brian Albert, Matthew McCabe and Jennifer McCabe – testified they “wish” they had seen John O’Keefe enter 34 Fairview Road in Canton in the early hours of Jan. 29, 2022, or his body laying on the property’s front lawn that cold, snowy morning.
Karen Read murder trial catches the eye of New England Patriots champion: ‘It hits home’, by Lance Reynolds, June 7.
The Karen Read murder case has been in the national spotlight for months, and a former Patriots player says the ongoing trial at Norfolk County Superior Court “hits home.”
Kyle Van Noy, a two-time Super Bowl Champion with the Patriots who now plays in Baltimore, lived a “couple blocks away” from 34 Fairview Road in Canton, the property where John O’Keefe’s body was found covered in snow the morning of Jan. 29, 2022.
While no longer in New England, Van Noy took to X on Thursday to express his thoughts on the case.
Gov. Healey ‘disgusted’ at State Police trooper’s comments on Karen Read, by Chris Van Buskirk, June 13.
Remarks made by a state police trooper who led the investigation into accusations that Karen Read killed a Boston policeman were “disparaging” and “objectifying,” Gov. Maura Healey said Thursday at the State House.
State Police Trooper Michael Proctor admitted this week to “inappropriate” and “regrettable” comments he made in texts to friends and co-workers during his investigation into Read, who is accused of killing John O’Keefe two years ago when she allegedly rammed her vehicle into him.
Massachusetts governor urged to overhaul State Police after trooper’s vulgar texts in Karen Read murder case as Facebook users rip agency, by Joe Dwinell, June 17.
Blistering criticism of a State Police investigator’s crude comments in the Karen Read murder case has a top law enforcement watchdog renewing its demand the governor overhaul the agency — as Facebook users rip into troopers online.
It’s so bad that a forced receivership of the Massachusetts State Police should be considered, “before someone else does it,” said Dennis Galvin, president of the Massachusetts Association for Professional Law Enforcement (MAPLE).
Gov. Maura Healey: Next State Police commander could be outsider, by Matthew Medsger, June 17.
The next leader of the scandal-plagued State Police may come from the outside, said Gov. Maura Healey.
Healey, speaking after a semi-regular leadership meeting with state House Speaker Ron Mariano and Senate President Karen Spilka Monday, was responding to questions about whether or not the State Police as an institution is in need of outside intervention.
The questions come after Trooper Michael Proctor admitted on the witness stand last week to “inappropriate” and “regrettable” comments he made via text messages to friends and coworkers during his investigation of Karen Read, who is accused of killing Boston Police Officer John O’Keefe two years ago.
Gov. Healey defends state police after ‘disgusting’ remarks from Michael Proctor in Karen Read trial, by Chris Van Buskirk, June 18.
Gov. Maura Healey defended the Massachusetts State Police Tuesday in the wake of “disgusting” comments made this month by a trooper serving as the lead investigator in the Karen Read murder case.
Remarks from Trooper Michael Proctor about Read, including that the murder suspect is a “whack job” and that she “hopefully … kills herself,” have placed the law enforcement agency squarely back into the spotlight after years of scandals have called into question its integrity.
Healey, who already condemned Proctor’s comments, pushed back on criticism leveled at the entire agency during an interview on WBUR’s “Radio Boston,” arguing Proctor is an “individual” who does not represent the rest of the state police.
Opinion columns
Howie Carr: Karen Read trial is a corrupt Canton townie sideshow, May 18.
Paul Revere used to summer every year in Canton, but he wouldn’t recognize the place today.
One thing, though, hasn’t changed since the 18th of April in ’75 — the locals still love their midnight rides, but with one big difference.
Paul Revere wasn’t hammered out of his mind when he was on horseback, spreading the alarm to every Middlesex village and farm.
Howie Carr: Butt-dials and other Canton oddities in the Karen Read trial, May 22.
Canton, Massachusetts is the butt-dial capital of the world.
That’s my first takeaway from the testimony yesterday in the Karen Read murder case.
Another takeaway is the more often you say “Honestly” or “To be honest,” the more likely it is that you’re not. Honest, that is.
Howie Carr: ‘Hos (sic) long to die in cold’ search dooms Karen Read prosecution, May 23.
This trial’s over, except for the movie deals and the book contracts.
Meatball Mike Morrissey and the McAlberts were never going to get a murder conviction on Karen Read.
But after yesterday morning’s cross-examination of Honest Jen McCabe, everything going forward is just a formality. The hack prosecutors from Norfolk County are merely going through the motions as we move towards Karen Read’s victory press conference outside the Dedham courthouse, probably just before Independence Day.
Howie Carr: Kiss and tell at the Karen Read trial today, May 24.
Almost all these Canton townies that we’ve seen so far have one thing in common:
They need to get themselves into a good 12-step program.
And they need to realize that they should never text when they could phone.
The theme song for the testimony in the Karen Read murder trial in Dedham was, “Third Rate Romance, Low Rent Rendezvous.”
Howie Carr: Kiss only tells part of ATF agent’s story in Karen Read case, May 27.
At the very end of the Karen Read murder trial late Friday afternoon, there was a very interesting exchange in the cross-examination between prosecution witness Brian Higgins, the ATF agent who destroyed his cell phone after “curating” what he wanted the State Police to see, and Karen Read’s defense attorney Alan Jackson.
…
Jackson begins by asking the bloated drunkard Higgins how he refused to turn over his cellphone to the prosecutors.
Instead Higgins “extracted” the information he wanted to hand over and then trashed his phone, just the way BPD officer Brian Albert also testified he did with his after fellow BPD officer John O’Keefe was found dead on his front lawn in Canton.
Howie Carr: ATF agent trashes phone and reputation, May 29.
Maybe Dean Wormer in “Animal House” got it wrong.
Maybe fat, drunk and stupid is a good way to go through life.
Just ask Brian “Butt Dial” Higgins, the ATF agent who was a very dear friend of dead BPD Officer John O’Keefe, even though he couldn’t be bothered to attend his funeral, despite the fact that he flies around the country for other funerals of people he never met.
Howie Carr: Trooper’s testimony at Karen Read trial ‘magically’ unclear, June 7.
Where the hell is Trooper Michael Proctor, the lead cop in the Karen Read murder investigation?
Is the knucklehead cop still searching for nude photos of Read on her cell phone – as he leeringly told his fellow semi-literate high-school buddies from Can-UHN?
Proctor is the under-investigation cop who isn’t there at the trial in Dedham. His name has been coming up about once every 30 seconds. But Proctor himself is MIA, and apparently none of the parties are allowed to mention his whereabouts.
Howie Carr: Trooper hits a new low in Karen Read trial. ‘So far no nudes’ and worse, June 11.
Hos long until this Karen Read trial is over?
We finally got what we were waiting for yesterday in Dedham, and it was just as appalling as advertised.
Hos is it possible that Trooper Michael “Chip” Proctor has not been fired?
Hos is he still investigating murders for the office of his fellow knucklehead, Norfolk County District Attorney Michael “Meatball” Morrissey?
Howie Carr: Male chauvinists, the Massachusetts State Police want you!, June 12.
Could you use a good job at a good wage?
Have you ever considered signing up for the Massachusetts State Police?
The troopers are looking for a few good male chauvinist pigs.
If you think you despise women enough, give the MSP a call.
The State Police are not for everyone. If your IQ is above 90 – forget about it. You won’t fit in.
Howie Carr: Absurdity in Massachusetts courts hits new heights in Karen Read trial, June 13.
The answer is, Brian Walshe.
The question is, why hasn’t the state already fired this crooked, drunk hack cop Michael Proctor after his pathetic, failed attempt to frame Karen Read?
The problem for the racketeering enterprise known as the Norfolk County District Attorney’s office is this crooked knucklehead is also the lead investigator in the upcoming murder trial of Brian Walshe, whose wife’s body has never been found.
Howie Carr: Incompetent six-figure Massachusetts State Police owe us a refund, June 14.
The Massachusetts State Police – they may not be the best law enforcement money can buy, but they damn sure must be the most expensive.
It’s shocking how much of our hard-earned money these skinhead drunkards are paid. All they seem to do is drive around bleep-faced in their cruisers with other cops’ guns. And that’s just when they’re not lying to multiple grand juries under oath.
Howie Carr: Another bald trooper testifies in Karen Read case, June 14.
Another Canton chrome dome cue ball on the witness stand for Meatball Morrissey mob.
Is this Conehead routine a new MSP gag — make sure none of these knuckleheads can be picked out of a lineup later?
Herald Editorial: State Police must be reformed. Today!, June 18.
Enough is enough! What more does Gov. Maura Healey need to reform the Massachusetts State Police?
Just look at the Facebook comments on every recent MSP post. Bay State citizens are fed up with the scandals and overtime abuse, and who can blame them?
We can’t even print some of the vile comments Trooper Michael Proctor texted, according to testimony in the Karen Read trial. Just put your mind in the gutter and that’s the tenor of those texts.
Howie Carr: Proctors, er troopers, dominate Karen Read trial circus, June 18.
How corrupt and incompetent are the Massachusetts State Police?
Trooper Joseph Paul is one of their “experts,” and he was the third MSP knucklehead that the corrupt prosecutors from Norfolk put on the stand to… do something.
Mostly, to even further destroy their frame-job case against Karen Read.
Howie Carr: DA Michael Morrissey out to lunch in Karen Read case, June 19.
Michael “Meatball” Morrissey is still standing by his man – Trooper Michael Proctor.
Last August, Meatball made a video backing his crooked lead investigator Perjury Proctor to the absolute hilt:
“Trooper Proctor had no close personal relationship with any of the parties involved in the investigation, had no conflict, and had no reason to step out of the investigation. Every suggestion to the contrary is a lie.”
