This serves as confirmation from law enforcement, after a source with direct knowledge of the situation informed NBC10 Boston last week that the federal investigation had indeed ended with no charges being filed against law enforcement.
That investigation played a significant role in the first trial against Read, who's been accused of killing her boyfriend Boston Police Officer John O'Keefe, by hitting him with her SUV.
