Massachusetts State Police Sgt. Yuri Bukhenik returned to the witness stand Monday morning for more cross-examination by defense attorney Alan Jackson as the Karen Read trial enters its fourth week.
This is Bukhenik’s third day on the stand. He oversaw the investigation into John O’Keefe‘s death in 2022.
Read is accused of hitting O’Keefe, her Boston police officer boyfriend, with her SUV in 2022 and leaving him to die alone in the snow outside of a house party at 34 Fairview Road in Canton. Her defense team has said she was a victim of a vast police conspiracy and that O’Keefe was fatally beaten by another law enforcement officer at the party.
A mistrial was declared last year after the jury was unable to reach a unanimous verdict.
