Alan Jackson joins Karen Read's legal team for civil trial on wrongful death lawsuit

Описание: Karen Read's lead defense attorney in her criminal trial, Alan Jackson, said he will join her legal team again, this time to defend her against the O'Keefe family's wrongful death lawsuit.

The O'Keefe family filed the civil lawsuit against Read and two Canton bars in August of 2024. They allege that Read drove her Lexus SUV while drunk in January 2022, risking injury or death to her boyfriend, Boston police officer John O'Keefe. They also say that the bars, C.F. McCarthy's and the Waterfall Bar and Grille, are liable for overserving her alcohol. 

Jackson defended Read in both of her criminal trials alongside David Yannetti, Bob Alessi, and Elizabeth Little. 

There has not been a date set for the civil proceedings to begin. The next hearing in the case is set for September 22.
