The defense will likely begin their case later today in the Karen Read murder trial in Dedham Superior Court. 

Read defense attorney David Yannetti says they expect to finish their case by next Wednesday, with jury deliberations possible by the end of the week. 

Read is accused of hitting her Boston cop boyfriend with her SUV in 2022 and leaving him to die in a snowstorm. 

Read claims she was framed by corrupt cops, and O'Keefe was killed after she dropped him off at another cop's Canton home.
