A Massachusetts judge has postponed Karen Read's wrongful death lawsuit until after her criminal trial, set for January. Read, accused of killing her boyfriend, Boston police officer John O'Keefe, during a snowstorm, faces charges including second-degree murder. The lawsuit also implicates bars for serving her alcohol despite her intoxication. Read's attorneys argued that the delay protects her Fifth Amendment rights, a position contested by O'Keefe's family.
