## Resource

Karen Read was acquitted of murdering her boyfriend, Boston police officer John O’Keefe — but the case is far from over. This week, Natalie and Vanessa talk with journalist and podcaster Rebecca Lavoie about the snowstorm death that turned into a referendum on police power, small-town loyalty, and who gets believed when facts are murky. As civil suits ramp up on both sides, they examine the controversial case.
