Karen Read speaks in in-depth interview

What she said: "I believe whatever happened to John [O'Keefe] was a setup to teach him a lesson or tune him up, and it got out of control," Read told the magazine.

• "No one would choose to kill someone in their own home and then set it up so sloppily," she said. She accused Norfolk District Attorney Michael Morrissey of setting her up.
• "He can bring all the resources of the state to try to get a pound of flesh, which I believe is what he's doing," Read said.

Read said she owes over $1 million to lawyers as a result of her first trial and wants to avoid a second trial, scheduled for January, sending her deeper into debt.
