BOSTON (CBS) -- Jury selection began Tuesday in the high-profile Karen Read murder trial, a case that is expected to draw widespread attention due to the victim's profession as a Boston police officer.
Read is accused of killing her boyfriend, John O'Keefe, a Boston police officer, in 2023. Prosecutors allege that Read's attorneys informed Judge Beverly Cannone, who will preside over the trial, about a potential conflict of interest.
