The lawsuit filed by Karen Read against the people she believes killed her Boston cop boyfriend John O'Keefe is headed to federal court. 

Read was sued in state court for wrongful death by the O'Keefe family, and she responded by counter suing those she says are the real killers.  They are Brian and Nicole Albert, Matt and Jennifer McCabe and Brian Higgins, and are labeled as the House Defendants in Read's legal filings. 

The defendants have filed to have Read's lawsuit moved to federal court, and it has been assigned to a federal judge in Boston.
