5
00:00:18.359 --> 00:00:22.120
<v Speaker 3>December thirteenth, twenty twenty four, and this hour news is

8
00:00:28.239 --> 00:00:32.079
<v Speaker 3>joining us. I'm Jim McKay and here's what's happening. Well,

9
00:00:32.159 --> 00:00:34.759
<v Speaker 3>it is the middle of December and we are certainly

10
00:00:34.759 --> 00:00:37.200
<v Speaker 3>feeling like it's risk and cold today with sunshine much

11
00:00:37.200 --> 00:00:39.479
<v Speaker 3>of the time, and it will stay cold through the weekend.

12
00:00:39.560 --> 00:00:43.880
<v Speaker 3>That is WVZAKI weather meteorologist Brian Thompson and telling us

13
00:00:43.920 --> 00:00:46.640
<v Speaker 3>we can expect sunshine to stick around. But also these

14
00:00:46.719 --> 00:00:49.640
<v Speaker 3>Chile temperatures were in the thirties all weekend long with

15
00:00:49.799 --> 00:00:52.679
<v Speaker 3>sunshine as well. The latest now from the Karen Reid

16
00:00:52.759 --> 00:00:56.320
<v Speaker 3>murder case testimony at Norfolk Superior Court, and the prosecution

17
00:00:56.520 --> 00:01:00.840
<v Speaker 3>is trying to disqualify a dog bite expert from testifying

18
00:01:01.079 --> 00:01:02.560
<v Speaker 3>and reads upcoming retrial.

19
00:01:02.640 --> 00:01:06.480
<v Speaker 4>Sucial prosecutor Hank Brennan grilled defense expert doctor Marie Russell

20
00:01:06.560 --> 00:01:08.359
<v Speaker 4>on her experience on wounds.

21
00:01:08.640 --> 00:01:11.480
<v Speaker 2>Have you studied a collection of wounds when people fell

22
00:01:11.519 --> 00:01:12.799
<v Speaker 2>backwards onto the ground.

23
00:01:12.959 --> 00:01:15.920
<v Speaker 1>I've seen hundreds of people that have fallen backwards.

24
00:01:16.000 --> 00:01:19.120
<v Speaker 4>She testified during Karen Reid's first criminal trial, saying she

25
00:01:19.239 --> 00:01:21.760
<v Speaker 4>believes John O'Keeffe was attacked by a dog and not

26
00:01:21.879 --> 00:01:24.920
<v Speaker 4>hit by Reid's SUV. The prosecution filed the motion to

27
00:01:24.959 --> 00:01:27.640
<v Speaker 4>try and prevent her from testifying in the second trial,

28
00:01:27.680 --> 00:01:31.079
<v Speaker 4>saying she's not an expert. Defense attorney Robert Alessi asked

29
00:01:31.079 --> 00:01:34.480
<v Speaker 4>her about her findings when it came to O'Keefe's sweatshirt.

30
00:01:34.040 --> 00:01:36.640
<v Speaker 1>Well taken in totality with the other images.

31
00:01:37.519 --> 00:01:40.799
<v Speaker 3>I believe that these are all the result of multiple

32
00:01:41.079 --> 00:01:41.840
<v Speaker 3>dog bites.

33
00:01:42.040 --> 00:01:44.680
<v Speaker 4>The prosecution claims Reid hit O'Keefe with her SUV and

34
00:01:44.760 --> 00:01:46.640
<v Speaker 4>left them and this snow to die well. The defense

35
00:01:46.680 --> 00:01:49.319
<v Speaker 4>says he was attacked by a dog and she was framed.

58
00:02:52.759 --> 00:02:55.680
<v Speaker 5>to use the right packaging to help reduce weight. Envelopes

59
00:02:55.680 --> 00:02:59.560
<v Speaker 5>are usually less expensive than boxes and print two copies

90

00:04:35.439 --> 00:04:39.000
<v Speaker 3>Some LGBT legal groups say they have been flooded with requests.

95
00:04:39.040 --> 00:04:41.879
<v Speaker 6>There's a real sense of fear in the transgender community

<v Speaker 6>locally and around the country.

97
00:04:43.759 --> 00:04:48.079
<v Speaker 2>The incoming administration has promised that it will initiate changes

98
00:04:48.120 --> 00:04:53.000
<v Speaker 2>in federal law that require people to identify only with

99
00:04:53.040 --> 00:04:53.720
<v Speaker 2>their birth sex.

100
00:04:53.800 --> 00:04:56.600
<v Speaker 6>Senior attorney Chris Urgel at Boston based Glad Law says

101
00:04:56.720 --> 00:04:59.720
<v Speaker 6>many are concerned the new administration might make their transition,

102
00:05:00.480 --> 00:05:02.959
<v Speaker 6>so they're rushing to update things like their legal names

103
00:05:03.000 --> 00:05:05.800
<v Speaker 6>and gender markers on ID forms. GLAD Law has a

104
00:05:05.839 --> 00:05:08.279
<v Speaker 6>service aimed at helping people navigate the process.

105
00:05:08.399 --> 00:05:11.279
<v Speaker 2>Last month we saw three times as many intakes as

106
00:05:11.279 --> 00:05:13.240
<v Speaker 2>we did the same month in the previous year.

107
00:05:13.279 --> 00:05:16.160
<v Speaker 6>Groups like GLAD and states like Massachusetts arguing up for

00:05:26.959 --> 00:05:29.800
<v Speaker 3>will not be attending the inauguration of President elect Donald

113
00:05:33.920 --> 00:05:39.079
<v Speaker 3>South China Morning Post cited historical precedent and diplomatic protocol

114
00:05:39.160 --> 00:05:43.040
<v Speaker 3>as the reason that President she probably would not be attending.

115
00:05:43.319 --> 00:05:45.439
<v Speaker 3>It's believed mister Trump is also reaching out to other

119
00:05:55.199 --> 00:05:55.920
<v Speaker 3>how things are going.

121

<v Speaker 1>of trees, except for these couple weeks in December.

122
00:06:02.319 --> 00:06:04.199
<v Speaker 6>We have two different types of trees here. We got

123
00:06:04.199 --> 00:06:05.319
<v Speaker 6>Fraser and Baltom Fir.

124
00:06:05.519 --> 00:06:08.240
<v Speaker 1>When the Boston Christmas tree lot is open and Roaring

125
00:06:08.360 --> 00:06:10.560
<v Speaker 1>Nate is walking me through the offerings. That's about a

126
00:06:10.600 --> 00:06:13.240
<v Speaker 1>sixer right there is. His business has been brisker than

127
00:06:13.279 --> 00:06:15.680
<v Speaker 1>normal because Thanksgiving was late and they open up the

128
00:06:15.720 --> 00:06:18.680
<v Speaker 1>day after the season is condensed. They've been selling trees

129
00:06:18.720 --> 00:06:21.079
<v Speaker 1>here for more than fifty years. The different trees have

130
00:06:21.160 --> 00:06:24.279
<v Speaker 1>different pros and cons. Balsam Firs have that classic Christmas

131
00:06:24.279 --> 00:06:26.480
<v Speaker 1>tree smell, but that's not what everybody needs.

132
00:06:26.639 --> 00:06:30.199
<v Speaker 3>So for folks that celebrate Orthodox Christmas, they tend to

133
00:06:30.199 --> 00:06:31.040
<v Speaker 3>opt for the Frasers.

134
00:06:31.079 --> 00:06:33.839
<v Speaker 1>That's because Fraser first tend to last longer, and Orthodox

135
