Karen Read, who was acquitted of murder charges in the death of her police officer boyfriend, John O’Keefe, says she continues to receive widespread support from people who believe she was framed. In a statement reported Friday, Read describes how her supporters show up in everyday places, including grocery stores and restaurants, and says she does not pay for meals. She also references locations such as Newbury Street in Boston and hotels and restaurants where she eats. The comments come nearly a year after two highly publicized trials that ended with her not guilty verdict. Fox News similarly reports that Read says she gets free meals and discounts “everywhere” following the acquittal. Across both accounts, Read presents her post-verdict experience as ongoing community support rather than a one-time response, emphasizing that her ability to obtain meals and related treatment is linked to people who remain committed to her innocence. The reports do not include independent verification of the claims, focusing instead on Read’s statements.
