Since her arrest, two narratives have since emerged. The prosecution alleges that Read killed O'Keefe by backing into him with her SUV and leaving him to die after a fight. Read's defense team argues that the police and other parties have colluded to frame Read for his murder.

At the center of that is Karen Read, the woman who was dating O'Keefe and is charged with manslaughter, motor vehicle homicide and leaving the scene of a deadly crash in Canton.

A Woburn man is facing a trespassing charge after he was found breaking protocol in a restricted area outside the courthouse where the Karen Read trial is taking place.
