After nearly two years of pretrial hearings and preparations, Karen Read\\u2019s second-degree murder trial is now underway. She is accused of hitting her boyfriend, Boston Police officer John O\\u2019Keefe with her SUV in 2022 and leaving him to die in a bitter snowstorm. She contends that John\\u2019s death was caused by a brutal beating by his own law enforcement friends, and that she is the victim of an elaborate cover-up. With two completely different theories of what happened that night being presented in court, many wonder which side will convince the jury \\u2013 and how. In today\\u2019s Headlines, Candice is joined by criminal defense attorney Rachel Fiset to discuss the defense\\u2019s \\u201cthird party culprit\\u201d argument, how a muddied investigation could hurt the prosecution\\u2019s chance at conviction, and what shocking evidence we can expect to see throughout the trial.
