Karen Read’s Lexus played a central role in the prosecution’s case, which hinged on the theory that she backed into cop boyfriend John O’Keefe, shattering a taillight

A lawyer for Read, Steven C. Boozang, said in the filing that the defense tried to “negotiate the return of the listed property with ADA Adam Lally in late June” following the verdict, but had not heard back. State Police has possession of the property, he said.

More than a month after Karen Read was acquitted of the death of her boyfriend, she is now asking a judge to return some of the evidence.
