Karen Read has her freedom—and one key witness says she’s earned every bit of it.
Brian “Lucky” Loughran, the snowplow driver whose critical testimony helped unravel the prosecution’s case, is speaking out after Read’s dramatic acquittal in the murder of Boston cop John O’Keefe—and he’s not holding back.
“She went through hell twice,” Loughran told TMZ, referencing both her 2023 mistrial and this year’s final courtroom showdown.
He Saw Nothing—Literally
Loughran became a household name in Boston and beyond when he testified—twice—that he didn’t see John O’Keefe’s body in the snow outside the Canton, Massachusetts home where prosecutors say Read struck and left him for dead in January 2022.
In his words? “I saw nothing.”
The snowplow driver told the court he passed the home multiple times in the early morning hours, including around 2:40 AM, and saw the front door clearly… but never saw a body.

A Witness Who Changed Everything
Loughran’s testimony was consistent in both trials, even while dealing with personal grief—his wife had just passed away when he took the stand last year. Still, he showed up again this time around, delivering what Read’s defense team called “truth that cut through the lies.”
“I just told the truth,” he said. “I was doing my job.”
He may call it a job—but to Karen Read’s supporters, he’s a hero. And now that she’s been found not guilty of murder and manslaughter, Loughran says he’s relieved to see justice finally served.
“She Deserves the TV and Book Deals”
While Karen Read’s name is already trending across the country, Brian says the spotlight she’s now receiving is more than justified—especially after enduring two grueling public trials, online vilification, and nearly two years of uncertainty.
“She deserves all the TV, movie, and book deals that are coming,” he told TMZ.
And Hollywood is already circling. According to inside sources, streamers and networks are lining up to pitch dramatizations of the case, with documentaries and potential true-crime series already in development.
Karen’s Triumphant Exit: “Justice Won”
When the verdict came in, cheers erupted outside the courthouse as Karen Read walked out—free, emotional, and finally vindicated.
Video of her exit has gone viral, showing fans chanting her name and holding signs proclaiming her innocence. She stopped briefly to hug supporters before leaving the scene with tears in her eyes.
It was a moment of victory. A moment of survival. And for Karen, a chance to finally breathe again.
The Trial That Gripped the Nation
Karen Read’s case had all the elements of a true crime thriller:
- A Boston police officer found dead under mysterious circumstances
- A girlfriend turned accused murderer
- Allegations of corruption, cover-ups, and missing evidence
- Explosive courtroom drama, twice
- And a community divided between justice for John and freedom for Karen
But in the end, the jury sided with doubt—and with Karen Read.
What’s Next for Karen Read?
Now that she’s been acquitted, the next chapter begins. While Read hasn’t yet announced plans for interviews or book deals, insiders suggest she’s fielding multiple offers—including a potential sit-down special with a major news network.
