Description

Karen Read was acquitted of murdering her boyfriend, Boston police officer John O’Keefe — but the case is far from over. This week, Natalie and Vanessa talk with journalist and podcaster Rebecca Lavoie about the snowstorm death that turned into a referendum on police power, small-town loyalty, and who gets believed when facts are murky. As civil suits ramp up on both sides, they examine the controversial case. For more from Rebecca, check out her podcasts Crime Writers On…True Crime Review and Something’s Off
