A second bar has joined Karen Read in seeking a delay in the civil lawsuit filed over the 2022 death of Boston Police officer John O'Keefe. 

The O'Keefe family has filed the wrongful death lawsuit against Read, naming the Canton bars CF McCarthy's and the Waterfall as co-defendants.  The bars and Read are asking a judge to halt the civil proceedings until her criminal case related to O'Keefe's death is resolved. 

Read is accused of hitting O'Keefe with her SUV and leaving him to die in a snowstorm in Canton, but the defense says she's being framed by corrupt law enforcement officers.
