Jurors in the Karen Read trial had their first full day of deliberations Monday in the high-profile case, but did not reach a verdict. Read is facing trial for a second time in the death of her boyfriend, Boston police officer John O'Keefe.

Lawyers for Karen Read rested their case Wednesday, nearly two weeks after they began mounting a defense that sought to undermine allegations that she drunkenly backed her SUV into her boyfriend, a Boston police officer,

Defense attorneys for Karen Read rested their case Wednesday, bringing her retrial for the death of her Boston police officer boyfriend one step closer to its blockbuster conclusion.

Karen Read's defense rested its case after a biomechanical engineer told jurors John O'Keefe's injuries were inconsistent with a car crash.

After the defense wrapped up its questioning of Rentschler, Prosecutor Hank Brennan told the judge he did not plan to call any more witnesses, reversing an earlier request to recall a different crash expert. The lawyers agreed to begin their closing arguments at 9 a.m. Friday. They'll then hand the case to the jury.

After nearly two months of testimony, Karen Read’s retrial for the murder of her boyfriend John O’Keefe is in its final days. The defense has now rested its case, without Read taking the stand. NBC News’ Emilie Ikeda reports.
