Shortly after her lawyers played video that appeared to show the late John O’Keefe and ATF Agent Brian Higgins gesturing aggressively at one another in a bar in Canton, Massachusetts, Karen Read told reporters she wasn’t paying attention to the interaction.

“The video speaks for itself,” she said on her way to a waiting SUV on Thursday. Read is on trial for the second time in the January 2022 murder of her boyfriend, O’Keefe, a Boston police officer.

“Do you think John and Brian Higgins were at odds?” a reporter asked her.

“It appears that way,” Read replied. “It appears that way.”

Read’s defense has denied her vehicle hit him and has been inviting witness testimony to illustrate other potential causes for his injuries, including a potential fight with Higgins, who was not charged with a crime but was carrying on a flirtatious relationship with Read behind O’Keefe’s back.

Prosecutors have alleged that investigators recovered from O’Keefe’s clothes taillight pieces that matched the Lexus.

Multiple witnesses testified that after his remains were found on Jan. 29, 2022, Read repeated the phrase “I hit him. I hit him. I hit him.”
