A judge has postponed the deposition in the wrongful death lawsuit against Karen Read until after her upcoming criminal trial, set for January. The lawsuit attributes the death of John O’Keefe, a police officer and Read’s boyfriend, to her actions, including operating her vehicle under the influence. Read, who maintains her innocence, is currently appealing a ruling that could affect the charges against her. While her attorneys argue that the ongoing criminal case could jeopardize her defense rights, the plaintiffs’ lawyer contends that Read has publicly discussed the case, making the delay unnecessary.
