The high-profile murder trial of a Boston woman accused of killing her police officer boyfriend ended in a mistrial.

Karen Read, 44, was told Monday that jurors could not agree on whether she had deliberately killed Boston Police Officer John O’Keefe with her SUV in January 2022.

Read could still face a new trial after a contentious nine-week trial in which she alleged she was the victim of a wide-ranging plot to frame her.

Prosecutors said Read ran over O’Keefe to end their toxic relationship before leaving him in the snow thinking he was dead.
