The case that has divided a small Boston suburb over whether or not Karen Read killed her police officer boyfriend has also stymied a jury.

After deliberating for more than 27 hours over five days, the jury of six men and six women could not come to an agreement on Read’s guilt. Therefore, Judge Beverly Cannone declared a mistrial.

Read, 44, is charged second-degree murder, manslaughter while operating under the influence of alcohol and leaving the scene of an accident in the death of Boston police Officer John O’Keefe.
