Before the infamous Karen Read case returns to court next month, her first trial will play out once again on television with a new documentary series.
“A Body in the Snow: The Trial of Karen Read” is a new series from Investigation Discovery that is set to premiere next week.
The documentary follows Read’s first trial, during which she was accused of killing her boyfriend, Boston police officer John O’Keefe, in 2022. She maintains her innocence.
