Karen Read, finally vindicated after two murder trials in the 2022 death of her former boyfriend, Boston cop John O’Keefe, thanked a vocal crowd of supporters Wednesday, minutes after jurors found her not guilty of all homicide-related charges.

She will serve a year on probation for drunken driving.

Read’s father, William Read, credited her legal team for the result — which spared her the maximum punishment of life imprisonment as well as multi-year stints behind bars on a series of lesser charges.

“I want to acknowledge the greatest team of attorneys,” he told her cheering supporters from the courthouse steps. “Our first one that we found was David Yannetti. We added Alan Jackson and Liza Little. Bob Alessi you know about, all right. It was a fantastic team, but we needed them all to defeat this.”

“They will all be flooded with new clients,” Lu told Fox News Digital. “Brennan will be catapulted to stardom because anyone can see his talent. I would say Yannetti and Brennan’s practices go national.”

As for Read, prominent lawyer turned legal analyst Linda Kenney Baden expects her to file a slew of new lawsuits against the investigators who charged her.

“Especially a civil rights lawsuit against [Michael] Proctor,” she said, referring to the former homicide detective who lost his job over texts he sent about Read’s case.
