Prosecutors argued Read intentionally hit O’Keefe with her Lexus SUV while driving intoxicated and left him to die outside as a blizzard approached.
Read’s defense team claimed she’s the victim of a biased investigation and has been framed by police.

Albert invited the couple to attend an afterparty at his home, located at 34 Fairview Road in Canton.
The couple agreed and drove to the Alberts’ home in Read’s vehicle.

She alleged she watched her boyfriend enter the home through a side door and after several minutes of waiting in her car for him to emerge, decided to leave.
Witness Jennifer McCabe, the sister of Brian Albert’s wife, testified to thinking she saw Read’s car briefly parked outside the home.

McCabe testified to receiving a phone call early in the morning, during which an erratic Read could be heard in the background. She suggested they search O’Keefe’s home before driving around to look for him.
After they were unable to find O’Keefe at his home, McCabe, Read, and a third woman, Kerry Roberts, decided to return to 34 Fairview Road, where O’Keefe was spotted laying in the snow in the front yard.

When they discovered his body outside her brother-in-law’s home, Read said she jumped out of the vehicle and tried to perform CPR. McCabe then called 9111.
The witness claimed she overheard Read tell a first responder “I hit him” multiple times.
O’Keefe was transferred to Good Samaritan Hospital where he was pronounced dead. Hypothermia was later listed as a contributing factor in his death.

Read has alleged O’Keefe may have been involved in an altercation inside the Alberts’ home; however, several witnesses, including police officers who were at the afterparty, maintain O’Keefe never entered the home.
Retired Lt. Paul Gallagher later testified to not separating witnesses when first gathering statements about the night of January 29 and early morning of January 29.
