Will Karen Read Civil Suit Spell The End For Karen Read?

The Trial Of Karen Read | Justice For John O'Keefe

Karen Read is set to return to court in January for a retrial, but a new civil case has emerged in the meantime. The family of John O'Keefe has filed a wrongful death lawsuit against Karen Read and two bars, C.F. McCarthy's and The Waterfall Bar and Grill. The lawsuit alleges that Read, following a night of heavy drinking, struck O'Keefe with her SUV and left him outside during a snowstorm, leading to his death from hypothermia and blunt force trauma. The family also claims the bars negligently served Read alcohol despite her visible intoxication and allowed her to leave impaired. Additionally, the lawsuit accuses Read of attempting to cover up her actions by fabricating a false narrative. The O'Keefe family is seeking damages for wrongful death, emotional distress, and punitive damages against both Read and the bars involved. Robin Dreeke discusses the case on "Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski," emphasizing the family's desire for accountability and the broader implications for those involved. He notes that this civil suit could provide a clearer path to justice than the criminal proceedings, especially given its focus on the family's loss rather than criminal intent.
