The high-profile murder trial of Karen Read, charged with the second-degree murder of her police officer boyfriend John O'Keefe, has commenced with jury selection at Norfolk Superior Court. The case, which has garnered significant public attention and led to street protests and grand jury investigations, is notable for its complexity, including a controversial defense strategy. The defense, led by attorneys David Yannetti, Alan Jackson, and Elizabeth Little, plans to present a third-party culprit defense, although the judge has set limits on this strategy. The prosecution team includes ADA Adam Lally and ADA Laura McLaughlin. Over 160 witnesses could be called during the trial, reflecting the case's extensive scope. During jury selection, about 70 of the potential jurors indicated they were aware of the case, and 24 had already formed opinions.
