What a ride the first week of trial was. The opening statements were diametrically opposed. The Prosecution opened in a flat and confusing manner, barely making an accusation. The Defense opened, dropping several bombs including the fact that State Police Homicide Investigator Proctor illegally accessed Karen Read's phone. He then texted his high school buddies that he was looking for nude photos in the defendant's phone, Proctor also said he wasn't going to look at other suspects and finally he called Karen Read a horrible slur beginning with a C, furthermore he wished Karen Read would kill herself. The defense also had a field day with a veteran police officer's testimony, it was almost difficult to watch. The first days of the trial were not great for the prosecution, and that's an understatement!

Asst D.A. Lally was almost universally panned, his strategy seems, nonexistent. Please tune in and share this episode!

Alvin Campbell allegedly acquired 10 plus victims of rape and sexual assault, before he was arrested. There was plenty of DNA, that was quickly identified as his.  Is it because he is the brother of the current Massachusetts Attorney General and former Boston City Councilor?  The tale of two siblings could not be more different. One went to Princeton and UCLA Law School, the other cycled through prison for gun and violence. He soon graduated to serial rape (allegedly). Alvin left DNA at several scenes and it would seem to be an easy case, however at one point a grand jury was empaneled, but the DA's office declined prosecution. He'd go on to allegedly rape and sexually assault a host of other women after that. Are the prosecutors and police at fault in this case or is it something else? Tune in to find out!

The Karen Read trial begins with jury selection. The Commonwealth STILL hasn't completed discovery and has asked when testing is finished to submit the "evidence". I don't think that's how discovery works. The Commonwealth can afford a not guilty in this case, however they cannot withstand the corruption revelations that are on the horizon. This case will go down in Massachusetts history as being wholly corrupt.

In August 1962 the U.S.Postal Service wanted to save money on armored car services. Instead of high security, they had a truck driver and one guard transport money, in mail trucks from Cape Cod post offices, to the Federal Reserve Bank in Boston. What could go wrong? It took local criminals about three weeks to rob this truck of millions. The media coverage was intense and the government sent postal inspectors to investigate. Local gangsters were not impressed, deriding them as "Stamp Police".  A record breaking reward of $150,000 (1.3 Million today) was presented, but never claimed. The defendants, tied to Rhode Island organized crime were ultimately acquitted at trial. This case remains unsolved and no money was ever recovered.

The Heath Street gang has been a blight on the Bromley-Heath Housing project for decades, but a large scale raid in 2024, has decimated the gang. The gang's members were deadly, but not very smart. During one foray into murder, one Heath Street gang member, shot another, while the duo tried to kill a gang rival. Another member conducted a shooting, while on an ankle monitor for another felony, that's the level of intelligence that the FBI and other authorities were dealing with.
There was also significant Covid relief fraud, delineated by the gang members rap songs. That's right they sing about their crimes, while dancing with firearms. Genius! Please share this episode!

During the last week of March 2024, two motions in this case were denied. A motion to dismiss filed by the defense and a motion to disqualify the Norfolk County District Attorney's Office. The judge did excoriate the DA's office for an absurd media package they had produced and distributed, the DA stated that the lead homicide investigator did not have a personal relationship with witnesses in this case. The federal corruption investigation revealed this was a lie and the DA likely knew it. 
At least five state witnesses will likely have to lie during this trial including the lead homicide investigator. This case is falling apart, yet we head to trial.
