<v Speaker 1>This is WBZ Boston's news radio, redefining local news fifty

2
00:00:09.240 --> 00:00:12.240
<v Speaker 1>four degrees in Boston at four o'clock. Good afternoon on

3
00:00:12.400 --> 00:00:15.359
<v Speaker 1>Ben Parker. Here's what's happening. A long day in court

4
00:00:15.439 --> 00:00:19.320
<v Speaker 1>for Karen Reid's case, with two separate hearings today in

5
00:00:19.399 --> 00:00:22.359
<v Speaker 1>two separate courtrooms. It started this morning in Federal court

6
00:00:22.359 --> 00:00:24.960
<v Speaker 1>in Boston, where Read's defense continued their push to get

7
00:00:25.000 --> 00:00:28.039
<v Speaker 1>two of the three charges against her dismissed. The judge

8
00:00:28.039 --> 00:00:31.239
<v Speaker 1>in that case says he'll issue ruling asap. Her team

9
00:00:31.320 --> 00:00:33.840
<v Speaker 1>then made their way to Norfolk Superior Court in Denham,

10
00:00:33.920 --> 00:00:36.200
<v Speaker 1>where they're trying to get the case tossed ahead of

11
00:00:36.200 --> 00:00:38.560
<v Speaker 1>her second trial. WBC's I'll Shaffle with more.

12
00:00:38.679 --> 00:00:40.880
<v Speaker 2>Karen Reid's defense is pushing to end her second murder

13
00:00:40.920 --> 00:00:43.280
<v Speaker 2>trial before it even begins. Her legal team is taking

14
00:00:43.320 --> 00:00:46.479
<v Speaker 2>aim at what it calls extraordinary governmental misconduct in the case.

15
00:00:46.640 --> 00:00:48.479
<v Speaker 2>Most of their time in this motion to dismiss as

16
00:00:48.520 --> 00:00:50.960
<v Speaker 2>focused on video evidence of Karen Reid's car after it

17
00:00:51.039 --> 00:00:53.759
<v Speaker 2>was seized by Canton police. Attorney Alan Jackson says the

18
00:00:53.759 --> 00:00:56.039
<v Speaker 2>prosecution withheld that evidence intentionally.

19
00:00:56.399 --> 00:00:59.560
<v Speaker 3>Certainly, we should have been able to explore that trial,

20
00:00:59.640 --> 00:01:01.439
<v Speaker 3>but we did not have the videos.

21
00:01:01.640 --> 00:01:05.000
<v Speaker 2>The Commonwealth did, though. In response, Special Prosecutor Hank Brennan

22
00:01:05.040 --> 00:01:07.680
<v Speaker 2>says the Commonwealth hadn't held on to the videos inappropriately

23
00:01:07.760 --> 00:01:10.079
<v Speaker 2>and practically. Scoffed at some of the defense's other claims

24
00:01:10.079 --> 00:01:10.959
<v Speaker 2>of jury tampering.

25
00:01:11.239 --> 00:01:15.519
<v Speaker 1>There isn't even ordinary evidence. There is no evidence of

26
00:01:15.680 --> 00:01:17.000
<v Speaker 1>jury tampering in this case.

27
00:01:17.359 --> 00:01:19.359
<v Speaker 2>The defense also trying to get some of those charges

28
00:01:19.439 --> 00:01:22.120
<v Speaker 2>dropped in Boston Federal Court, including the murder charge. The

29
00:01:22.200 --> 00:01:24.640
<v Speaker 2>judge there says they'll come to a decision quickly. Kyle

<v Speaker 1>In Washington, today, a congressional hearing before the House Committee

32
00:01:30.079 --> 00:01:34.319
<v Speaker 1>on Oversight hind Government reform. Mayor Michelle Woo one of

33
00:01:34.319 --> 00:01:37.239
<v Speaker 1>those on the hot seat. Wz's Brook McCarthy explains.

34
00:01:36.879 --> 00:01:39.920
<v Speaker 4>Seated beside the mayors of New York City, Denver in Chicago.

35
00:01:40.000 --> 00:01:42.959
<v Speaker 4>Mayor Michelle Wou opened her testimony by noting crime is

36
00:01:43.000 --> 00:01:45.599
<v Speaker 4>down in Boston and she's the daughter of immigrants.

37
00:01:45.760 --> 00:01:48.480
<v Speaker 5>A city that's scared is not a city that's safe.

38
00:01:48.719 --> 00:01:51.879
<v Speaker 5>A land ruled by fear is not the land of

39
00:01:51.920 --> 00:01:52.480
<v Speaker 5>the free.

40
00:01:52.560 --> 00:01:56.439
<v Speaker 4>The four Democratic mayors testifying about their city sanctuary policies,

41
00:01:56.480 --> 00:02:00.400
<v Speaker 4>saying the Trump administration and Congress are exaggerating crime committed

42
00:02:00.400 --> 00:02:04.519
<v Speaker 4>by immigrants whoever. Republicans say they're undermining President Donald Trump's

43
00:02:04.519 --> 00:02:08.439
<v Speaker 4>mass deportation efforts. Mayor ru was questioned by Congressman Paul

44
00:02:08.479 --> 00:02:12.639
<v Speaker 4>Gozar of Arizona over which laws take precedent federal or local.

45
00:02:12.800 --> 00:02:15.319
<v Speaker 4>She used that as an opportunity to advocate for what

46
00:02:15.439 --> 00:02:17.400
<v Speaker 4>she'd liked to see come out of Congress.

47
00:02:17.560 --> 00:02:22.280
<v Speaker 5>Stop cutting Medicaid, stop cutting cancer research, stop cutting funds

48
00:02:22.280 --> 00:02:24.879
<v Speaker 5>for veterans. That is what will make our city safe.

<v Speaker 4>Brooke McCarthy WBZ, Boston's News radio.

50
00:02:27.759 --> 00:02:30.360
<v Speaker 1>Some lawyers are using President Trump's own words against him

51
00:02:30.360 --> 00:02:34.199
<v Speaker 1>in a lawsuit challenging Elon Musk's Department of Government efficiency.

52
00:02:34.199 --> 00:02:37.360
<v Speaker 3>The Trump administration has repeatedly said Elon Musk is not

53
00:02:37.479 --> 00:02:40.439
<v Speaker 3>formally in charge of DOGE. It says Amy Gleeson is

54
00:02:40.479 --> 00:02:43.400
<v Speaker 3>the interim DOGE administrator, But during his address to a

55
00:02:43.479 --> 00:02:46.800
<v Speaker 3>joint session of Congress last night, the President touted DOGE

56
00:02:46.800 --> 00:02:47.719
<v Speaker 3>and added.

57
00:02:47.719 --> 00:02:51.919
<v Speaker 1>Which is headed by Elon Musk, who's in the gallery tonight.

58
00:02:52.479 --> 00:02:55.400
<v Speaker 3>In their new filing, the attorneys called Trump's remarks new

59
00:02:55.439 --> 00:02:59.120
<v Speaker 3>evidence that DOGE is not complying with the transparency requirements

60
00:02:59.120 --> 00:03:00.000
<v Speaker 3>for advisory commits.

61
00:03:00.400 --> 00:03:03.599
<v Speaker 1>Michael Wallace, CBS News. Kind of wild night coming up tonight.

62
00:03:03.639 --> 00:03:04.960
<v Speaker 1>We'll have a lot of wind, We'll have a lot

63
00:03:04.960 --> 00:03:07.080
<v Speaker 1>of rain. It'll take a little while for it to

64
00:03:07.120 --> 00:03:09.840
<v Speaker 1>get here. We're still looking at the precipitation well off

65
00:03:09.879 --> 00:03:12.919
<v Speaker 1>to our south and west. A little bit of rains

66
00:03:12.960 --> 00:03:16.400
<v Speaker 1>making its way across the border into the Berkshires, but

67
00:03:16.479 --> 00:03:19.840
<v Speaker 1>that's not the prime offender here. We've got a whole

68
00:03:19.919 --> 00:03:22.919
<v Speaker 1>bunch back into New York State, down into Pennsylvania, and

69
00:03:23.240 --> 00:03:26.319
<v Speaker 1>also stretching back down into parts of Delaware where there's

70
00:03:26.319 --> 00:03:29.039
<v Speaker 1>some pretty nasty storms going on right now. So there's

71
00:03:29.080 --> 00:03:30.800
<v Speaker 1>a lot to come, and it will head to the

72
00:03:30.800 --> 00:03:33.280
<v Speaker 1>north and east through the evening and eventually get here,

73
00:03:33.360 --> 00:03:36.039
<v Speaker 1>dumping lots of rain on us and picking up the

74
00:03:36.039 --> 00:03:38.439
<v Speaker 1>winds too, some damaging winds with some of those downpours

75
00:03:38.439 --> 00:03:42.000
<v Speaker 1>and thunderstorms. Tonight fifty for the low, more clouds than sun. Tomorrow,

76
00:03:42.080 --> 00:03:44.240
<v Speaker 1>we do get rid of the heavy rain. We may

77
00:03:44.360 --> 00:03:47.280
<v Speaker 1>keep a shower or two around for good measure. Temperatures

78
00:03:47.280 --> 00:03:51.159
<v Speaker 1>closing in on sixty degrees tomorrow, blustery and then much

79
00:03:51.159 --> 00:03:53.800
<v Speaker 1>colder Tomorrow night Parkley cloudy twenty nine in the city,

80
00:03:54.000 --> 00:03:55.960
<v Speaker 1>a little colder than that in the suburbs, and with

81
00:03:56.080 --> 00:03:59.080
<v Speaker 1>the wind around, temperatures will fall at least it feels

82
00:03:59.120 --> 00:04:03.159
<v Speaker 1>like temperatures into the teens. Blustering and cold. On Friday,

83
00:04:03.199 --> 00:04:05.400
<v Speaker 1>forty three for the high not bad, but with the

84
00:04:05.400 --> 00:04:08.560
<v Speaker 1>wind and it'll be temperatures feeling like they're in the

85
00:04:08.639 --> 00:04:11.520
<v Speaker 1>thirties with plenty of sunshine. More sun on Saturday, a

86
00:04:11.560 --> 00:04:13.960
<v Speaker 1>few clouds too, Temperatures in the mid forties. Right now,

<v Speaker 6>pop out and bud They would beautiful.

93
00:04:33.759 --> 00:04:36.399
<v Speaker 5>They're staggered, so we don't have all of them all

94
00:04:36.439 --> 00:04:38.920
<v Speaker 5>at once, so you'll be able to see kind of

95
00:04:38.920 --> 00:04:41.120
<v Speaker 5>a rolling variety.

96
00:04:41.199 --> 00:04:43.279
<v Speaker 6>It's one of five big events the greenhouse has in

97
00:04:43.360 --> 00:04:45.920
<v Speaker 6>a year. Amy Beth mclenn tends to them and says

98
00:04:45.959 --> 00:04:48.199
<v Speaker 6>they can be a little temperamental with the temperature.

99
00:04:48.240 --> 00:04:50.399
<v Speaker 2>We're continuously trying to vent.

100

<v Speaker 7>We have the shadeloff to help mediate that as well,

101
00:04:53.959 --> 00:04:55.600
<v Speaker 7>but so far, so good.

102
00:04:55.600 --> 00:04:58.040
<v Speaker 2>We haven't had a lot of damage for this yeal

103

<v Speaker 7>in cancer screening during the COVID nineteen pandemic, and this

126
00:06:11.639 --> 00:06:15.920
