Karen Read returns to Norfolk Superior Court Thursday as testimony in her murder retrial continues. Jurors on Wednesday heard from a Massachusetts State Police trooper who logged some of the evidence found in the snow where Read’s boyfriend, Boston Police Officer John O’Keefe, had lain mortally wounded. Trooper Connor Keefe showed jurors O’Keefe’s missing sneaker and several pieces of red and clear plastic taillight shards discovered on the snowy lawn outside 34 Fairview Road.
