Episode 3

After two trials, weeks of testimony, and a nation divided, Karen Read’s fate is decided. Dr. Phil breaks down the verdict that shook Boston and beyond. In the final episode of "Secrets in the Snow: The Trial of Karen Read," Dr. Phil unpacks the dramatic end to one of the most polarizing trials in recent memory. Boston Police Officer John O’Keefe’s death in the snow sparked two competing narratives: prosecutors claimed his girlfriend, Karen Read, ran him over with her SUV, while the defense argued he was beaten inside a house and framed. After a mistrial, a retrial, and months of public spectacle, including rumors, viral photos, and activist bloggers, the jury delivered its final word: Karen Read was acquitted of murder, manslaughter, and leaving the scene of an accident. She walked free on the major charges but was convicted of operating under the influence. Supporters cheered. O’Keefe’s family called it a miscarriage of justice. Dr. Phil explores the courtroom drama, the explosive role of social media, and the looming civil case that may yet uncover new truths.
