Retired FBI agent and criminal profiler Candice DeLong speaks with legal analyst Josh Ritter to discuss the polarizing trial of Karen Read, who stands accused of killing her boyfriend, Boston Police officer John O’Keefe, in January 2022. The case made its way into national headlines when both sides put forward two completely different theories of what happened to John. Prosecutors believe Karen killed him in a fit of rage – but the defense insists that she is the victim of a large-scale police cover-up. Candice and Josh discuss how the theories played out in court, why a mistrial was declared and what it could mean for the future of the case.
