Where To Watch Karen Read: The Trial

A Body in the Snow: The Trial of Karen Read is a five-part true-crime documentary series examining one of Massachusetts' most controversial murder cases. The series follows the death of Boston Police Officer John O'Keefe, who was found unresponsive in the snow outside 34 Fairview Road in Canton in January 2022. His girlfriend, Karen Read, was subsequently accused of causing his death with her SUV, while Read maintained her innocence and argued that she had been framed as part of a police cover-up. The documentary takes viewers through the prosecution's case, the defense's alternative theories, disputed forensic evidence, witness testimony, controversial digital evidence and the intense public reaction surrounding the proceedings. Key figures featured include Karen Read, defense attorneys Alan Jackson, David Yannetti and Elizabeth Little, lead prosecutor Adam Lally, Judge Beverly Cannone, investigative journalist Ted Daniel, and members of O'Keefe's family and social circle. Rather than functioning like a conventional fictional courtroom drama, the series uses interviews, archival footage and trial material to explore how evidence, competing narratives and intense media attention shaped the case.
