Karen Read, who recently saw her murder trial end in a hung jury, has put her four-bedroom, three-bathroom home in Mansfield, Massachusetts up for sale. The property was listed on the market two weeks after the trial’s conclusion at an asking price of $849,900.
The house is a two-story colonial-style residence built in 1972. Despite its layout featuring only two bedrooms on the first floor and three bedrooms on the second floor, it is listed as a four-bedroom due to the septic system being designed to accommodate a four-bedroom household. The property offers a working fireplace, hardwood floors throughout, central air conditioning, original wood beam accents, a large driveway, a two-car garage, and an unfinished basement.
Located on a tree-lined suburban street in the Mansfield suburb, approximately 30 miles from Boston, this property covers a total area of 2,516 square feet. According to real estate agent Richard Rocci of RE/Max Platinum, Read has not been living in Mansfield since last year and hopes that another family will enjoy the house she spent many years enhancing.
Read, 44, faced murder charges after being accused of running over her boyfriend, Boston police officer John O’Keefe, with her vehicle on January 29, 2022. However, her trial ended in a mistrial when jurors could not reach a unanimous verdict.
During the trial, prosecutors argued that Read intentionally and drunkenly ran over O’Keefe after dropping him off at his friend’s home during a snowstorm. In contrast, Read’s legal team maintained that she was framed by her boyfriend’s fellow police officers, who they claimed were responsible for beating him to death.
The conflicting accounts of the events leading up to O’Keefe’s death left the jury divided, resulting in the judge declaring a mistrial on July 1 after five days of jury deliberations.
