Karen Read Retrial: Jurors Visit Crime Scene as Fourth Day of Testimony Ends


Tension builds as jurors examine key evidence in the death of Boston officer John O’Keefe

CANTON, MA — The retrial of Karen Read, the Massachusetts woman accused of killing her boyfriend, Boston Police Officer John O’Keefe, concluded its fourth day of testimony on April 25, following a pivotal visit to the alleged crime scene.

Jurors were escorted to the Canton residence where O’Keefe was found dead in January 2022, allegedly struck by Read’s SUV during a snowstorm. They were instructed to observe the scene without bias, focusing on items like the flagpole, fire hydrant, and Read’s Lexus SUV.

Testimony: Alcohol Level and Forensic Validity Questioned

Back in court, Dr. Garrey Faller, a pathologist, testified that Read’s blood alcohol content measured 0.093% hours after O'Keefe’s death. However, the defense challenged the method used, citing differences between medical and forensic testing — and claimed Read's anemia could have skewed results.

Case Divides Public Opinion

Prosecutors allege Read acted in a drunken rage, while her defense argues she is being framed. The first trial ended in a mistrial in July 2024 after a hung jury. This high-profile case has since fueled true-crime podcasts, documentaries, and online speculation.

New York Beekeeper Charged with Concealing Involvement in 1994 Rwandan Genocide

A New York beekeeper, Faustin Nsabumukunzi, has been arrested and charged with concealing his role as an alleged leader in the 1994 Rwandan genocide. According to federal prosecutors, Nsabumukunzi falsely claimed in his applications for a green card and U.S. citizenship that he was not involved in the genocide. The indictment, which was returned on April 22 and unsealed on April 24, accuses the 65-year-old Bridgehampton resident of visa fraud and attempted naturalization fraud. The Allegations Nsabumukunzi, originally from Rwanda, applied for refugee resettlement in the United States in 2003 and settled on Long Island, where he worked as a beekeeper and gardener. However, prosecutors allege that Nsabumukunzi was a prominent figure in the Rwandan genocide, specifically a "Sector Councilor" in the southern Rwandan region of Kibirizi during the violence that began in April 1994. The genocide, which emerged from a conflict between the Hutu and Tutsi ethnic groups, led to the de...
