Boston Police Officer John O'Keefe, his girlfriend Karen Read and a group of other friends, including fellow officers, went out drinking at C.F. McCarthy's bar in Canton, Massachusetts at around 9 p.m. A major snowstorm had begun.

The head of the Massachusetts State Police offered a statement Thursday following Karen Read’s acquittal on murder and manslaughter charges.

A member of the jury to acquit Karen Read on the most severe charges of murder and manslaughter said prosecutors failed to prove Read’s SUV struck John O’Keefe the night he died, but the juror stopped short of suggesting any sort of police coverup or attempt to frame Read.
