Karen read’s defense drops a bombshell about the snowplow witness.
- The defense team for Karen read claims a key prosecution witness, who drove a snowplow near the scene, may have tampered with evidence by removing crucial snow from John O’Keefe’s body site before investigators arrived—potentially altering the timeline.
- A new video analysis shows the snowplow’s headlights capturing the victim’s body over an hour earlier than officially reported, suggesting Karen read’s SUV might not have been the vehicle involved in the fatal collision.
- Karen read’s lawyers argue the snowplow driver has a history of inconsistent statements and a financial motive, as he allegedly bragged about “helping the police” to get a reward—casting doubt on his reliability.
- This revelation could force a mistrial motion, as the judge previously excluded this evidence, but new testimony from a forensic expert claims the snow was deliberately moved to hide footprints near the body.
- Social media is exploding with #KarenRead supporters, who say this proves a cover-up by local officials, while prosecutors are scrambling to counter the allegations with GPS data from the plow’s route.
