Karen Read sues the police agencies that investigated her Boston police boyfriend’s death
- Read filed a lawsuit against the Massachusetts State Police and the town of Canton alleging misconduct in the investigation tied to her prosecution.
- Read says the agencies were negligent in hiring, training, and supervision of officers.
- The suit questions the investigation led by lead investigator Michael Proctor, who was found guilty of sending crude messages.
- Proctor was fired and faces broader scrutiny amid claims of a cover-up within the force.
- Sgt. Sean Goode faced misconduct allegations cited in the filing.
- Read walks free after more than three years and two trials in the death of John O’Keefe.
- O’Keefe was found on a fellow officer’s lawn after a party, amid a Blizzard and snowstorm.
- Read faced charges of second-degree murder, manslaughter, and leaving the scene; acquitted of the top charge.
- The filing argues the case reflects systemic failures in oversight by state and local officials.
- The suit cites hundreds of pages of materials including texts and recordings as evidence.
