New evidence had come to light regarding the case. Read is accused of fatally striking Boston officer John O\u2019Keefe with her SUV in early 2022 and allegedly abandoning him in the snow. Cannone appeared visibly shaken as she suspended the session due to this new information, according to reports from the U.K.&#8217;s Daily Mail. Special prosecutor Hank Brennan indicated that Read&#8217;s defense may have improperly influenced expert testimonies during her first trial, which ended in a mistrial due to a deadlocked jury. He revealed that ARCCA, an accident reconstruction firm previously engaged by the defense, had billed nearly $24,000 for their services without informing the prosecution of any financial arrangements or incentives offered to them. Cannone expressed serious concern over this revelation and decided to pause proceedings until all parties could adequately prepare for further discussions on these issues; hearings are set to resume on February 25. The defense maintains that O\u2019Keefe was killed elsewhere and that Read has been unfairly targeted by authorities unwilling to consider police involvement as suspects. Her retrial is scheduled for April, where she stated confidently about facing any challenges ahead: &#8220;I have the truth&#8230; Do your worst.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2406069,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Read-Trial.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[33651],"tags":[50991,50990,50433,4853],"class_list":["post-2406068","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-western-journal","tag-cop-killing","tag-evidence-2","tag-judge-2","tag-trial"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Read-Trial.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2406068","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2406068"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2406068\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2406072,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2406068\/revisions\/2406072"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2406069"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2406068"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2406068"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2406068"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
