With all of the days off and half days, it can be difficult to keep up with the schedule of the high-profile Karen Read murder trial.

Read is accused of striking John O'Keefe, her Boston police officer boyfriend, with her SUV and leaving him for dead in a snowbank outside the home of a fellow officer in Canton, Massachusetts, in the early hours of Jan. 29, 2022 after a night of drinking. She has pleaded not guilty, and her defense team argues she is being framed.
