00:00:13.679 --> 00:00:17.199
<v Speaker 1>I'm Ben Parker. Here's what's happening. Another busy day in

4
00:00:17.239 --> 00:00:18.280
<v Speaker 1>the Karen Reid case.

5
00:00:18.359 --> 00:00:22.160
<v Speaker 2>The Commonwealth has added three of Reed's attorneys, Alan Jackson,

00:00:22.239 --> 00:00:25.199
<v Speaker 2>Lies a Little and David Gyannetti to their witness list.

7
00:00:25.559 --> 00:00:27.480
<v Speaker 2>And today it was supposed to be the final pre

8
00:00:27.559 --> 00:00:30.280
<v Speaker 2>trial hearing, but the prosecution filed the number of new

9
00:00:30.320 --> 00:00:32.840
<v Speaker 2>motions and that puts another hearing on the calendar for

10
00:00:32.960 --> 00:00:36.079
<v Speaker 2>next Tuesday. Of the Busiest Book, McCarthy with more on

<v Speaker 2>what happened today.

12
00:00:36.719 --> 00:00:40.399
<v Speaker 3>Special Prosecutor Hank Brennan in defense attorney Alan Jackson arguing

13
00:00:40.520 --> 00:00:42.640
<v Speaker 3>over whether the jury should be able to hear that

14
00:00:42.719 --> 00:00:45.280
<v Speaker 3>John O'Keefe planned to break up with Karen Reid.

15
00:00:45.479 --> 00:00:48.159
<v Speaker 4>If anything mister Brennan just said was true, he might

16
00:00:48.200 --> 00:00:48.799
<v Speaker 4>have an argument.

17
00:00:48.960 --> 00:00:52.960
<v Speaker 1>My goodness, it's important to get some of the facts right.

18
00:00:53.240 --> 00:00:56.039
<v Speaker 3>Judge Barbary Kenoni, saying they need to keep things civil.

19
00:00:56.200 --> 00:00:59.759
<v Speaker 5>I suggest that we take the personal attacks completely out

20
00:00:59.840 --> 00:01:02.799
<v Speaker 5>of this hold on hold on both sides.

21
00:01:02.880 --> 00:01:05.040
<v Speaker 3>The defense also argued that they should be able to

22
00:01:05.040 --> 00:01:07.920
<v Speaker 3>tell the jury that ARCA crash free construction experts were

23
00:01:08.000 --> 00:01:11.239
<v Speaker 3>hired by the Department of Justice, because otherwise it leads

24
00:01:11.280 --> 00:01:14.519
<v Speaker 3>to speculation, but the Commonwealth says the jury would need

25
00:01:14.560 --> 00:01:17.879
<v Speaker 3>the entire truth. Judge Canoni took this under advisement and

26
00:01:17.920 --> 00:01:20.079
<v Speaker 3>denied a motion by the defense to push back the

27
00:01:20.079 --> 00:01:22.359
<v Speaker 3>start of the trial by a few weeks, so jury

28
00:01:22.400 --> 00:01:25.879
<v Speaker 3>selection is still set for April first. Brooke McCarthy WBZ

66
00:03:15.560 --> 00:03:17.800
<v Speaker 2>west of the city. Out in the central Massachusetts. It

67
00:03:17.879 --> 00:03:20.080
<v Speaker 2>turned out to be a pretty decent sunny day, at

68
00:03:20.159 --> 00:03:23.199
<v Speaker 2>least for many places. Forty three will be our low tonight.

69
00:03:23.280 --> 00:03:25.759
<v Speaker 2>We'll bring in some drizzle and some fog as we

70
00:03:25.840 --> 00:03:28.039
<v Speaker 2>go through the evening, and then a steadier rain gets

71
00:03:28.039 --> 00:03:30.199
<v Speaker 2>in here late tonight. There is a big band of

72
00:03:30.599 --> 00:03:33.479
<v Speaker 2>rain off into New York State and Pennsylvania and that's

73
00:03:33.479 --> 00:03:36.639
<v Speaker 2>coming our way. Rain will start us off tomorrow. There

74
00:03:36.759 --> 00:03:39.759
<v Speaker 2>could be a snowflake or two mixed in as we

78
00:03:49.560 --> 00:03:51.639

79
00:03:51.759 --> 00:03:54.800

82

00:04:03.439 --> 00:04:06.960
<v Speaker 2>but temperatures with some sunshine will be near sixty degrees

101
00:04:44.480 --> 00:04:46.800
<v Speaker 2>spend on a sports team. I don't think that it's

102
00:04:46.800 --> 00:04:47.800
<v Speaker 2>worth that much.

103
00:04:47.600 --> 00:04:49.959

105
00:04:51.240 --> 00:04:53.759
