Send us a textAdam Lally had to explain his glaring incompetence in a murder case, unfortunately it was not in the Karen Read trial. The Norfolk County District attorney's office is both corrupt and incompetent. It is difficult to determine which crappy decision, lead to the intersection of incompetence and corruption, yet here we are.The NCDA's doesn't even have a professional case management system, which contributes to this ongoing fiasco, but the ADA's would not have the incompetent defense to hide behind, when called out on the endless madness, if they spent $95.00 a month for the programAdam Lally on the stand is every state or city employee, who simply doesn't want to do their job, obstinate, hostile and thick headed.

Andrea Canning reports on the verdict in the retrial of Karen Read in Dedham, Massachusetts.
Send us a textKaren Read found not guilty on 2nd degree murder and leaving the scene of an accident! She was found guilty of misdemeanor operating under the influence (of alcohol). The jury was attentive and asked several questions of the judge, they were dialed in, really couldn't ask for more.The jurors are taking media interviews and there are some commonalities- Trp. Bukenik came off as arrogant and petulant. The damage to John's arm, simply did not align with a car strike. Hank Brennan's objections were a problem for the jury. There is a whole lot more, don't miss this episode!Will any take notice of this judge in Norfolk County? is she a problem or no?

On the night of June 18th, in the hours after the Karen Read murder retrial verdict was announced, a local polling and market research firm asked 1,170 Norfolk County residents, who met the qualifications to be selected as jurors, for their opinions on the case. Brian Wynne, President of Opinion Diagnostics, joined Dan to share the results of their poll.
Send us a textWhat a week in Norfolk County,Massachusetts! The prosecution concluded their case in chief. What exactly did they prove. It appears that the Commonwealth has NOT proven the intent factor in the second degree homicide charge. The forensic case against Karen Read is shaky at best. Dr Welcher, an accident re-constructionist was the last witness called by the Commonwealth, was simply not what they needed. He came off as every engineer at a house party, Know it all, dismissive and insistent. He was forced to admit that he could not determine, on what body part John was first struck, where on the street John was standing, where John O'Keefe's final resting place was. This case remains an incoherent mess for the Commonwealth. Please Share this episode!

Episode 357: On a sunny Wednesday afternoon, 21 June 1950, the tranquil tobacco farming community of Langton, of Langton, Ontario, was shattered by a violent crime that would leave an indelible mark on Canadian history. Joseph Herbert McAuliffe, a World War II veteran turned counterfeiter, walked into the Imperial Bank of Canada with robbery on his mind. In less than half an hour, two innocent men lay dead at the robber's hands, Arthur Lierman and William Goddyn, their bodies riddled with bullets, and a community was gripped by fear. For three harrowing days, Norfolk County held its breath as McAuliffe, armed and desperate, evaded capture in the surrounding woods. The manhunt that ensued would reveal a tale of tragic childhood, wartime heroism, and a descent into criminality that culminated in a botched robbery and senseless killings. As the story unfolded, it exposed the raw nerves of a nation grappling with questions of justice, redemption, and the ultimate price of crime.

The judge overseeing Karen Read's murder case forcefully refuted claims made by her defense on Wednesday that a Massachusetts State Police lieutenant had direct oversight over the jury during her first murder trial. Read appeared in federal court and Norfolk Superior Court on Wednesday, where her lawyers argued a motion to dismiss the case. At the outset of the hearing, Judge Beverly Cannone pushed back on the claim from Read's attorney Alan Jackson, stating that his assertion—that Lt. John Fanning had control over and access to the jury—was “simply not true.” She emphasized that the only individuals with access to the jury were court officers and pressed Jackson on what “good faith basis” he had for making such a claim. Jackson pointed to a sidebar conference during Read's first trial in which a Norfolk County prosecutor referred to Fanning as the “commander” of security for the proceedings. This conference followed allegations of misconduct concerning a juror whom the defense believed would vote to acquit Read. That juror was ultimately dismissed before deliberations began. The exchange was heated, as Read's lawyers continued to argue that the case should be dismissed due to “extraordinary governmental misconduct.” They claimed that prosecutors or law enforcement officers failed to turn over key evidence that could have exonerated Read. A significant portion of the argument centered on surveillance videos from the Canton Police Department's sallyport. Hours after Read's boyfriend, Boston Police officer John O'Keefe, was found dying in the snow outside a Canton home, her car was towed from her parents' home to the police station. Read's defense contends that a crucial 42-minute portion of the footage, which would have captured her SUV's arrival, was missing. State Police Trooper Michael Proctor initially requested copies of these videos in February 2022 and later requested additional footage in June 2023. Read's defense accused Proctor, who has been suspended without pay since July due to disparaging texts he sent about Read, of deliberately withholding the videos. Jackson argued that Proctor had complete possession and control over the footage and that the videos that were eventually turned over were “magically cut out, blurred, or became grainy” at the precise moment Read's vehicle entered the sallyport. He accused the investigators of obscuring evidence to undermine Read's defense. Prosecutors countered that they were unaware of the videos until Proctor's testimony before a federal grand jury revealed their existence. Special prosecutor Hank Brennan dismissed claims that the videos had been tampered with, stating that the defense had provided no evidence of intentional withholding. The defense argued that the videos would support their claim that Read's right rear taillight was cracked, but not shattered, when it arrived at the station. They contend that fragments of the taillight were planted at the crime scene to frame Read. Prosecutors maintain that the light shattered upon impact with O'Keefe and that the footage disproves the defense's argument. Brennan also addressed the jury tampering allegation, calling it one of the most serious accusations that could be made against the legal system. He stated that such a claim requires extraordinary evidence, which the defense failed to provide. He emphasized that Fanning had no interaction with any jurors and had never even set foot on court property while jurors were present. Jackson pushed back, stating that the defense had never been given the information Brennan presented until the hearing. He questioned how Brennan had obtained such details and why the defense had not been informed of any conversations between Brennan and Fanning. Judge Cannone did not rule on the motion to dismiss, and Read's second trial remains scheduled to begin on April 1. Meanwhile, in federal court, Read's lawyers also argued for the dismissal of two of the three charges against her on double jeopardy grounds. The judge in that case indicated he would issue a ruling before the trial date. #KarenRead #TrueCrime #LegalDrama #CourtroomBattle Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

Trial Turmoil: Karen Read's Defense Battles Over Jury Access and Missing Evidence The judge overseeing Karen Read's murder case forcefully refuted claims made by her defense on Wednesday that a Massachusetts State Police lieutenant had direct oversight over the jury during her first murder trial. Read appeared in federal court and Norfolk Superior Court on Wednesday, where her lawyers argued a motion to dismiss the case. At the outset of the hearing, Judge Beverly Cannone pushed back on the claim from Read's attorney Alan Jackson, stating that his assertion—that Lt. John Fanning had control over and access to the jury—was “simply not true.” She emphasized that the only individuals with access to the jury were court officers and pressed Jackson on what “good faith basis” he had for making such a claim. Jackson pointed to a sidebar conference during Read's first trial in which a Norfolk County prosecutor referred to Fanning as the “commander” of security for the proceedings. This conference followed allegations of misconduct concerning a juror whom the defense believed would vote to acquit Read. That juror was ultimately dismissed before deliberations began. The exchange was heated, as Read's lawyers continued to argue that the case should be dismissed due to “extraordinary governmental misconduct.” They claimed that prosecutors or law enforcement officers failed to turn over key evidence that could have exonerated Read. A significant portion of the argument centered on surveillance videos from the Canton Police Department's sallyport. Hours after Read's boyfriend, Boston Police officer John O'Keefe, was found dying in the snow outside a Canton home, her car was towed from her parents' home to the police station. Read's defense contends that a crucial 42-minute portion of the footage, which would have captured her SUV's arrival, was missing. State Police Trooper Michael Proctor initially requested copies of these videos in February 2022 and later requested additional footage in June 2023. Read's defense accused Proctor, who has been suspended without pay since July due to disparaging texts he sent about Read, of deliberately withholding the videos. Jackson argued that Proctor had complete possession and control over the footage and that the videos that were eventually turned over were “magically cut out, blurred, or became grainy” at the precise moment Read's vehicle entered the sallyport. He accused the investigators of obscuring evidence to undermine Read's defense. Prosecutors countered that they were unaware of the videos until Proctor's testimony before a federal grand jury revealed their existence. Special prosecutor Hank Brennan dismissed claims that the videos had been tampered with, stating that the defense had provided no evidence of intentional withholding. The defense argued that the videos would support their claim that Read's right rear taillight was cracked, but not shattered, when it arrived at the station. They contend that fragments of the taillight were planted at the crime scene to frame Read. Prosecutors maintain that the light shattered upon impact with O'Keefe and that the footage disproves the defense's argument. Brennan also addressed the jury tampering allegation, calling it one of the most serious accusations that could be made against the legal system. He stated that such a claim requires extraordinary evidence, which the defense failed to provide. He emphasized that Fanning had no interaction with any jurors and had never even set foot on court property while jurors were present. Jackson pushed back, stating that the defense had never been given the information Brennan presented until the hearing. He questioned how Brennan had obtained such details and why the defense had not been informed of any conversations between Brennan and Fanning. Judge Cannone did not rule on the motion to dismiss, and Read's second trial remains scheduled to begin on April 1. Meanwhile, in federal court, Read's lawyers also argued for the dismissal of two of the three charges against her on double jeopardy grounds. The judge in that case indicated he would issue a ruling before the trial date. #KarenRead #TrueCrime #LegalDrama #CourtroomBattle Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

On February 4, 2021, the staff at Sharon Public Schools became concerned when Sandra Birchmore failed to report to work for several consecutive days. Their worries prompted them to contact the police, who subsequently discovered her lifeless body in her apartment on that same day. Initial assessments by first responders indicated that she had likely been deceased for several days. Surveillance footage from February 1st revealed Birchmore moving in and out of her apartment during the afternoon, while a man named Matthew Farwell was seen entering the building later that evening and exiting approximately 30 minutes afterward. Tragically, when her body was found, she was still dressed in the same outfit she had worn earlier that day.Initially, Birchmore's death was classified as a suicide due to asphyxia. However, further investigation by federal authorities led to a significant shift in the case's direction. They concluded that her death was, in fact, a homicide, with allegations pointing to Matthew Farwell as the perpetrator. It was claimed that he had strangled Birchmore and then attempted to stage the scene to appear as a suicide, likely to conceal the nature of their relationship and the fact that she was pregnant. In August 2024, Farwell faced federal charges for murder, marking a pivotal moment in the ongoing investigation.Birchmore's tragic case has drawn comparisons to another notable investigation in Norfolk County, the Karen Read case. Both situations have raised serious concerns regarding potential misconduct by law enforcement and have sparked discussions about the thoroughness and integrity of the investigations carried out by local authorities. The similarities between the two cases highlight the need for accountability and transparency in the handling of such sensitive matters, as they not only affect the victims and their families but also the broader communities' trust in the justice system.#missingperson#podcast#searchingformissingpeople#truecrimecommunity#truecrimestories#sandrabirchmore#locatingthelost#unsolvedmystery#unsolvedcrime

Brian Walshe, accused of killing and dismembering his wife, Ana Walshe, is facing new developments in his murder trial as his defense team raises concerns about the impartiality of the investigation. Walshe's attorneys are demanding access to documents from two other high-profile Massachusetts murder cases, citing potential bias from former Massachusetts State Trooper Michael Proctor, who led the investigation into both Walshe's and Karen Read's cases. Walshe, 48, was arrested in January 2023 and indicted on multiple charges, including murder, misleading a police investigation, and improper conveyance of a human body. He remains in custody without bail as his legal team works to challenge aspects of the investigation. The defense team is particularly focused on Michael Proctor, the former state trooper who led the inquiry into Walshe's case. Proctor's involvement in another high-profile case—the investigation into Karen Read—has come under scrutiny. Read is accused of striking her boyfriend, John O'Keefe, with her SUV and leaving him to die in a snowstorm. Proctor's conduct in Read's case, which ended in a mistrial, led to his suspension following testimony that revealed unprofessional behavior, including disparaging text messages about Read. During her trial, Proctor referred to Read as a “whack job” and used an expletive, later apologizing to the jury for his comments. Citing this behavior, Walshe's defense team is questioning whether Proctor may have held a similar bias against their client. “Proctor's text messages about Karen Read reveal bias,” Walshe's attorney, Larry Tipton, said during a recent hearing. “We want to ensure there was no bias in Brian Walshe's case, and that's why we're requesting access to these documents.” The defense has asked for a comprehensive list of records related to Proctor's work, including his cellphone data, internet account details, and more than 3,000 pages from an ongoing federal investigation. Walshe's team is also seeking documents tied to Proctor's role in the investigation of Sandra Birchmore, another case where Proctor's actions have come under scrutiny. While Walshe's lawyers have not found concrete evidence of police or prosecutorial misconduct so far, they are pushing for transparency. “And I was going to explain why we filed such a detailed memorandum of law,” Tipton stated, “but I don't think I need to waste the court's time with that.” The Norfolk County district attorney's office, which is prosecuting Walshe, has stated that it will share any information relevant to the case, but they will not turn over sensitive information from other ongoing investigations. In a filing, the office noted that releasing Proctor's phone and work cloud data could expose criminal offender records, confidential informant information, and private data from grand jury proceedings. Prosecutors have made it clear that they do not plan to call Proctor as a witness in Walshe's trial. Instead, Cohasset Police Sgt. Harrison Schmidt has taken on Proctor's role in the investigation. "Dozens" of officers from the Massachusetts State Police and Cohasset Police Department were involved in the case, according to the district attorney's office, which argues that Proctor's absence will not impact the trial. The defense and prosecution are expected to reconvene in December after Walshe's legal team has reviewed the documents provided by the prosecution. As the trial approaches, the defense is continuing to build its case, hoping to uncover any signs of bias or misconduct that could impact the outcome of this highly publicized murder case.

Send us a textApparently there are no competent homicide prosecutors in Norfolk's County's District Attorney's office! Elected DA Mike Morrissey has inexplicably hired a "Special Prosecutor" to retry Karen Read for 2nd degree murder. Are there no prosecutors willing to take this S-sandwich of a case? No one is prepared to commit career suicide perhaps? There is NO confidence in Adam Lally and his second chair. Hank Brennan, Whitey Bulger's defense attorney has been selected to retry Karen Read, at the taxpayer's expense. What a mess! Does Brennan have authority to drop the murder charge or dos he have to accept the case as is? NO information on that account was released, surprised? It's going to be interesting at any rate!

The trial of Karen Read, accused of the second-degree murder of Boston Police Officer John O'Keefe, continued today with pivotal testimonies from key figures in the investigation. The courtroom saw dramatic moments as defense attorney Alan Jackson scrutinized the integrity of the investigative process led by Massachusetts State Police Trooper Michael Proctor and State Police Detective Lt. Brian Tully. Testimony resumed with Massachusetts State Police Trooper Michael Proctor taking the stand. Proctor faced questioning about a group chat with eight high school friends, where he shared details of the investigation, including the victim's name. Proctor admitted that 16 hours into the investigation, he had concluded that Read was responsible for O'Keefe's death, despite not having visited the crime scene or interviewed key witnesses. Defense attorney Alan Jackson highlighted this as evidence of Proctor's bias and lack of thoroughness. **Defense Digs into ‘Unprofessional' Texts** Proctor was questioned about derogatory texts he sent about Karen Read, referring to her in dehumanizing terms. Jackson pointed out that these messages showed a preconceived notion of Read's guilt, which Proctor denied, insisting that the investigation was guided by evidence. **Gaps in State Police Investigation** Jackson delved into investigative lapses, such as not reviewing all phone data or canvassing relevant areas for surveillance footage. Proctor acknowledged some gaps but defended his methods, stating they did not affect the investigation's integrity. The defense pointed out Proctor's early focus on Read, questioning whether other suspects were properly considered. **Pressure on Medical Examiner** Defense attorney Alan Jackson turned his questions to a report by the Chief Medical Examiner's office in April 2022 that O'Keefe's manner of death could not be determined. Proctor texted another state trooper about the medical examiner's determination: “Of course it's undetermined. She's a whack job.” Jackson pressed Proctor about attempting to get the medical examiner to rule O'Keefe's death as a homicide, which Proctor denied. **Questions About Trooper Proctor's Relationship with the Albert Family** The defense focused on potential conflicts of interest, questioning Proctor about his sister's friendship with witness Julie Albert and their communication during the investigation. Jackson presented text messages indicating a close relationship and alleged that Proctor used his sister as an intermediary. Proctor denied any conflict of interest, asserting that his professional conduct remained intact. Jackson highlighted gaps in the investigation and questioned Proctor's impartiality and thoroughness. The defense attorney suggested that Proctor had a preconceived narrative and did not thoroughly investigate other potential suspects. Proctor reiterated that the investigation was conducted with the utmost integrity and that evidence pointed solely to Read. **Detective Lt. Brian Tully Takes the Stand** State Police Detective Lt. Brian Tully, the unit commander for the Norfolk County state police detective unit, provided crucial testimony. Tully recounted receiving a call at 7 a.m. on Jan. 29, 2022, from Sgt. Yuri Bukhenik regarding Officer John O'Keefe's critical condition. Recognizing the gravity due to O'Keefe's status as an active Boston police officer, Tully coordinated with then-Canton Police Chief Kenneth Berkowitz and Norfolk District Attorney Michael Morrissey. They collectively decided that state police would lead the investigation to avoid any conflicts of interest, with Canton police offering support and resources.

The trial of Karen Read, accused of the second-degree murder of Boston Police Officer John O'Keefe, continued today with pivotal testimonies from key figures in the investigation. The courtroom saw dramatic moments as defense attorney Alan Jackson scrutinized the integrity of the investigative process led by Massachusetts State Police Trooper Michael Proctor and State Police Detective Lt. Brian Tully. Testimony resumed with Massachusetts State Police Trooper Michael Proctor taking the stand. Proctor faced questioning about a group chat with eight high school friends, where he shared details of the investigation, including the victim's name. Proctor admitted that 16 hours into the investigation, he had concluded that Read was responsible for O'Keefe's death, despite not having visited the crime scene or interviewed key witnesses. Defense attorney Alan Jackson highlighted this as evidence of Proctor's bias and lack of thoroughness. **Defense Digs into ‘Unprofessional' Texts** Proctor was questioned about derogatory texts he sent about Karen Read, referring to her in dehumanizing terms. Jackson pointed out that these messages showed a preconceived notion of Read's guilt, which Proctor denied, insisting that the investigation was guided by evidence. **Gaps in State Police Investigation** Jackson delved into investigative lapses, such as not reviewing all phone data or canvassing relevant areas for surveillance footage. Proctor acknowledged some gaps but defended his methods, stating they did not affect the investigation's integrity. The defense pointed out Proctor's early focus on Read, questioning whether other suspects were properly considered. **Pressure on Medical Examiner** Defense attorney Alan Jackson turned his questions to a report by the Chief Medical Examiner's office in April 2022 that O'Keefe's manner of death could not be determined. Proctor texted another state trooper about the medical examiner's determination: “Of course it's undetermined. She's a whack job.” Jackson pressed Proctor about attempting to get the medical examiner to rule O'Keefe's death as a homicide, which Proctor denied. **Questions About Trooper Proctor's Relationship with the Albert Family** The defense focused on potential conflicts of interest, questioning Proctor about his sister's friendship with witness Julie Albert and their communication during the investigation. Jackson presented text messages indicating a close relationship and alleged that Proctor used his sister as an intermediary. Proctor denied any conflict of interest, asserting that his professional conduct remained intact. Jackson highlighted gaps in the investigation and questioned Proctor's impartiality and thoroughness. The defense attorney suggested that Proctor had a preconceived narrative and did not thoroughly investigate other potential suspects. Proctor reiterated that the investigation was conducted with the utmost integrity and that evidence pointed solely to Read. **Detective Lt. Brian Tully Takes the Stand** State Police Detective Lt. Brian Tully, the unit commander for the Norfolk County state police detective unit, provided crucial testimony. Tully recounted receiving a call at 7 a.m. on Jan. 29, 2022, from Sgt. Yuri Bukhenik regarding Officer John O'Keefe's critical condition. Recognizing the gravity due to O'Keefe's status as an active Boston police officer, Tully coordinated with then-Canton Police Chief Kenneth Berkowitz and Norfolk District Attorney Michael Morrissey. They collectively decided that state police would lead the investigation to avoid any conflicts of interest, with Canton police offering support and resources. Prosecutor Adam Lally questioned Tully about inappropriate text messages sent by Trooper Proctor, expressing displeasure and admonishing Proctor for his conduct. The jury was shown photos of evidence collected, including O'Keefe's shoe and pieces of plastic found at the scene. Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

Testimony in the Karen Read trial, a Mansfield woman charged with the death of her boyfriend, Boston police officer John O'Keefe, continued with revealing cross-examination of Massachusetts State Police Trooper Michael Proctor and a contentious hearing about defense witnesses. At 9:10 a.m., the day began with a contentious hearing where Norfolk County prosecutor Laura McLaughlin accused the defense team of delaying witness information. McLaughlin stated the defense's late synopsis was intended to "ambush the Commonwealth," calling for the exclusion of testimony from Dr. Marie Russell, who is expected to discuss O'Keefe's injuries. Defense attorney David Yannetti rebutted, labeling the prosecution's claims as “outrageous and false.” Judge Beverly Cannone, seeking to maintain order, requested Yannetti to summarize his points without hyperbole. Yannetti clarified that the defense would pursue the theory that O'Keefe was attacked by a dog, contrary to earlier indications. Proctor's cross-examination continued with scrutiny of his unprofessional comments, including calling Read a “whack job” and making disparaging remarks about her medical condition. Despite admitting the comments were inappropriate, Proctor maintained they did not affect the case's factual evidence. Prosecutor Adam Lally later had Proctor read more text messages aloud, including a conversation where Proctor shared his belief that Read hit O'Keefe with her car. The texts highlighted a casual, and at times offensive, tone regarding the investigation. Proctor's unprofessionalism was further underscored by a June 9, 2022, text to his wife about Read's arrest: “We're going to lock this wack job up.” The court also reviewed text messages between Proctor and his sister, Courtney, about the case. Despite his close ties to key individuals involved in the investigation, Proctor claimed these relationships did not influence his work. Throughout the testimony, Proctor reiterated that his comments and personal feelings did not compromise the investigation's integrity or the evidence gathered. However, the defense argued that such unprofessional behavior cast doubt on Proctor's objectivity. The trial, which hinges on whether Read intentionally struck O'Keefe with her vehicle, will continue with further testimony and cross-examinations. As the courtroom drama unfolds, the defense remains focused on undermining the credibility of the prosecution's witnesses to strengthen Read's case. Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?
