Netflix is a popular place for true-crime documentaries. Others include Making a Murderer, Killer Inside: The Mind of Aaron Hernandez and Don't F**k with Cats. The Read series is still untitled.

Read was charged with second-degree murder, manslaughter while operating a vehicle under the influence of alcohol and leaving the scene of an accident resulting in death. Prosecutors said the Bristol County woman was drunk and angry when she struck O'Keefe. Her defense argued that she was being framed by corrupt cops.

Prosecutors said they intend to retry Read.
