The jury foreman in the Karen Read retrial called on the FBI to take its own look into the death of Boston Police Department officer John O’Keefe.

Jurors acquitted Read of second-degree murder on June 18 but convicted her of driving under the influence with a blood-alcohol level of .08% or higher.

Juror No. 1 told the Boston Herald that the FBI should do its own investigation into O’Keefe’s death.

One juror expressed doubts about the case, stating, “There are so many gaps that need to be addressed. Now that the FBI has confirmed Karen Read is not a primary suspect, something must have occurred, and several jurors share this sentiment.”

Read’s defense team maintained during the trial that Read never hit O’Keefe, instead blaming his injuries on an altercation with other men at the after-party.

According to witnesses who testified in court, while Read’s car was outside Albert’s house, she and O’Keefe weren’t seen at the after-party. Read told reporters that she saw O’Keefe enter the house prior to her driving away.

Fox News Digital reached out to the FBI for comment.
