Karen Read’s Attorney Alan Jackson Seen with Wife Following Client Canoodling Controversy

Date:

Alan Jackson, the high-profile attorney representing Karen Read in her recent murder trial, was seen with his wife, Lisa Kassabian, in Los Angeles on Wednesday. This public appearance comes just hours after The New York Post published images that appeared to show Jackson in an intimate embrace with his client, Karen Read, outside a Boston steakhouse last week.

Jackson and Kassabian, an LA County Deputy District Attorney, were photographed arriving at their home in one of their BMW SUVs after apparently visiting the gym and picking up lunch. Kassabian, dressed in workout attire, was noticeably not wearing a wedding ring as she carried bags from the car. Jackson, holding his phone and what appeared to be takeout food, kept his eyes down and maintained a neutral expression.

The couple’s appearance marks their first public sighting since The Post revealed a 1.5-second iPhone Live image that seemed to show Jackson embracing Read from behind outside Smith and Wollensky in downtown Boston on June 27. This occurred while jurors were deliberating in Read’s murder trial.

The image, which The Post verified through metadata analysis, showed Jackson with one arm around Read’s midsection and another across her chest, pulling her close as she appeared to giggle. A source close to Read told TMZ that the image was “taken out of context” and was merely “goofing around” after a dinner with the legal team.

Read was on trial for allegedly running down her boyfriend, Boston police officer John O’Keefe, in 2022 and leaving him to die in a snowbank. Jackson’s defense strategy argued that Read was framed by local police. The trial ended in a mistrial on Monday when the jury became hopelessly deadlocked.

The photographer who captured the controversial image told The Post, “It looked wrong and inappropriate so I just grabbed the closest phone and took a picture,” adding that it seemed “inappropriate for an attorney-client type situation.”

Neither Jackson nor Read have responded to requests for comment from The Post. This incident adds another layer of complexity to the high-profile case and raises questions about professional boundaries in attorney-client relationships.

Jackson, a former prosecutor turned defense attorney, has previously represented other high-profile clients including Kevin Spacey and Harvey Weinstein. The Karen Read case and its aftermath continue to draw public attention, highlighting issues of legal ethics and the intense scrutiny faced by those involved in high-profile criminal cases.
