A defense lawyer representing Karen Read revealed plans to sue three state troopers and five people who were at the Canton home on the night in January 2022 when Boston Police Officer and Braintree native John O'Keefe was killed.

Attorney Damon Seligson told Plymouth Superior Court Judge Daniel O'Shea that Read's defense will entail claims against the Massachusetts State Police and state police investigators Brian Tully, Yuri Bukhenik and Michael Proctor.

"Those claims would be in the nature of violations of Karen Read's civil rights and conspiracy," Seligson said of the individual officers. "The claims against the Massachusetts State Police would be negligent training, supervision and retention of Massachusetts State Police troopers."
