Karen Read's lawyers asked a judge on Monday to dismiss part of a wrongful death lawsuit brought by the family of her former Boston police officer boyfriend, whose killing she was acquitted of earlier this year after two highly publicized trials.
“These are real damages for real people who have suffered long enough,” Marc Diller, a lawyer representing the O’Keefe family, said in court.
Diller said Read woke O’Keefe’s niece that morning and told her O'Keefe never came home.
Civil wrongful death and emotional distress claims filed against Read were put on hold during her criminal trial, but proceedings finally began Monday.
The O’Keefe family is also suing the two bars where the couple drank before he died.
