Karen Read and boyfriend, John O’Keefe, had a biting fight over text just hours before the Boston cop’s lifeless body was pulled out of the snow — and a stunned jury heard the entire exchange Thursday as Read sat stonefaced. The acrimonious exchange was recited in a matter-of-fact monotone by a Massachusetts state trooper during an action-packed day, the third in a sensational murder trial playing out in a Massachusetts criminal court. The texts were introduced in the last trial — which ended in a mistrial — but this is the first time a jury heard them play out in one continuous exchange.
