Maura Healey said Thursday while also declining to weigh in further on the closely-watched trial.
Read is accused of backing her car into her Boston police officer boyfriend, John O'Keefe, and leaving him to die outside a Canton home in January 2022.

"It's terrible ... it's completely unprofessional. It does harm, frankly, to the dignity and the integrity of the work of men and women across the State Police and law enforcement.

Healey took only one question from reporters on the Read trial Thursday and said she could not say any more. "This is the subject of a criminal investigation and trial, and therefore it's not appropriate for me to speak more to that at this time," she said.
