The charges stem from the death of Boston police officer O'Keefe, whom Read was dating. He was found dead in the lawn of another Boston officer in Canton on a snowy morning, after a night of drinking at local bars with a group of people. Read was accused of backing into him with her Lexus SUV, but her team of lawyers have alleged a large-scale coverup by law enforcement, saying that someone else is responsible for O'Keefe's killing.
