Karen Read has spoken publicly for the first time since being acquitted in the death of her boyfriend, Boston police officer John O’Keefe. vowing to fight back against those she says framed her — with civil lawsuits looming and a message of defiance to Massachusetts prosecutors.

In a defiant message, she vowed to pursue civil lawsuits against those she alleges framed her while strongly criticizing Massachusetts prosecutors.

“You lost. You lost big time. And you know what you did,” Read said during an interview on “The Howie Carr Show.” 

Read appeared alongside her attorney, Alan Jackson, who confirmed they are preparing a sweeping civil case. Potential targets include the Massachusetts State Police, the Norfolk County District Attorney’s Office, and individuals tied to the investigation.

Read received a year of probation for the drunken driving conviction. She is still facing a wrongful death lawsuit from O’Keefe’s family, which her civil defense team asked the court to dismiss earlier this month.

The case led residents of Canton, Massachusetts, to push for an independent review of their police department. The audit found no proof of a conspiracy against Read but highlighted several procedural errors, including not photographing the victim’s body before it was moved, failing to secure the scene, and conducting witness interviews outside official premises.

The Massachusetts State Police also launched an internal investigation into lead homicide detective Michael Proctor, who was fired for sharing confidential information with non-law enforcement individuals and drinking on the job. He is appealing his dismissal.
