Attorneys for Karen Read are seeking to delay a wrongful death lawsuit filed by the family of John O'Keefe. 

Read is accused of hitting her Boston police officer boyfriend with her SUV and leaving him to die in the snow in Canton in 2022. 

O'Keefe's family recently filed the lawsuit against Read over his death, but she says the case should be paused until her second criminal trial scheduled for January is over. 

Read's first trial ended with a hung jury in July, and she claims corrupt law enforcement officials are trying to frame her.
