Former Massachusetts State Police Trooper Michael Proctor laughed at the notion that he tried to frame Karen Read in 2022 when John O’Keefe died, he said in a recent television interview.
In the interview which aired on Thursday night, Proctor responded to accusations that he’s corrupt and deliberately tried to frame Read in the death of her boyfriend, who was a Boston Police Department officer.
“I laugh because it’s such a ridiculous accusation,” Proctor said on NBC’s “Dateline.” “There’s not one piece of evidence or fact to support that, because it did not happen. I would never do something like that.”
When asked if he cracked the taillight on Read’s Lexus, Proctor responded “absolutely not.”
Proctor, who was the lead investigator in Read’s case, shared “derogatory texts” regarding the suspect, in addition to sharing “sensitive or confidential information,” an internal review found. The review found Proctor called Read a “wack job,” a “babe… with no a–” and a “c—.” He also wrote that he wished Read would kill herself in addition to joking about looking for nude selfies on Read’s phone.
Proctor told “Dateline” that he should get his job back.
