But a civil case is still outstanding.

Last August, O’Keefe’s family filed a civil lawsuit in Plymouth Superior Court against Read and two Canton bars: C.F. McCarthy’s and the Waterfall Bar and Grille.

In the lawsuit filed in Plymouth Superior Court, Paul O’Keefe is targeting Read and the two bars on behalf of his family, including the niece and nephew his brother cared for. The O’Keefes allege Read “intended the reckless conduct that resulted in (John O’Keefe’s) injuries/death” and allege the bars “negligently served alcohol to an intoxicated person.”

Additionally, the O’Keefes accused Read of inflicting emotional distress on the then-14-year-old niece by waking her up early in the morning and telling the child something had happened to her uncle.

“Read intentionally and/or recklessly inflicted severe emotional distress when she woke up (the niece) and informed her that she hit her uncle or that a snow plow hit her uncle,” the lawsuit states.

“Read’s conduct was extreme and outrageous, beyond the bounds of decency and was utterly intolerable,” the lawsuit also states.

The suit is seeking at least $50,000 in damages.

The O’Keefe family has not publicly commented on the verdict and slipped out a side door after court was dismissed.
