In a dramatic turn in the Karen Read murder trial, jurors were shown a lengthy video recording that may prove to be one of the most damaging pieces of evidence yet. In it, Karen Read discusses her alcohol intake the night Boston police officer John O’Keefe died — admitting she had anywhere from four to ten drinks in just two hours. Then, in the same breath, she claims she didn’t think she was being “reckless.” The contradictions don’t stop there.
Throughout the video, Read repeatedly changes the details of her timeline, her level of intoxication, and her recollection of events — often contradicting things she had previously said in interviews or texts. Prosecutors seized on this, arguing it shows consciousness of guilt. And for those watching, it’s hard to ignore how each new answer seems to unravel a little more of her defense.
This video breaks down the most revealing moments from the courtroom footage, showing exactly how Karen Read’s own words may be eroding her credibility. We’ll take you through her statements, what the jury heard, and how the prosecution is framing her inconsistencies as deliberate deception. Is it trauma and confusion? Or is it a carefully unraveling cover story?
We’ll also explore how the defense — led by Alan Jackson — struggled to explain away her conflicting claims, and how this new footage fits into the larger timeline of the case. With each passing day, the weight of Karen Read’s own words seems heavier — and harder to walk back.
Don’t miss this in-depth breakdown of what could become the defining moment in the Karen Read trial.
