00:00:01.040 --> 00:00:11.560
<v Speaker 1>This is WBZ Boston's news radio, redefining local news sixty

2
00:00:11.560 --> 00:00:14.400
<v Speaker 1>five degrees in Boston at four o'clock. Good afternoon. I'm

3
00:00:14.439 --> 00:00:18.039
<v Speaker 1>Ben Parker. Here's what's happening. The waiting is the hardest part,

4
00:00:18.480 --> 00:00:20.719
<v Speaker 1>so they say all eyes are on dead unless the

5
00:00:20.800 --> 00:00:24.320
<v Speaker 1>jury continues their deliberations. The Karen Reid retrial of the

6
00:00:24.359 --> 00:00:27.640
<v Speaker 1>bzs Emma Friedman has details. We may retire and deliberate

7
00:00:27.679 --> 00:00:28.280
<v Speaker 1>your verdict.

8
00:00:28.399 --> 00:00:31.679
<v Speaker 2>Today's day two of jury deliberations. Judge Canoni started off

9
00:00:31.679 --> 00:00:34.159
<v Speaker 2>the day as she always does, asking jurors if they

10
00:00:34.200 --> 00:00:37.000
<v Speaker 2>avoided outside coverage of this case before sending them off

11
00:00:37.000 --> 00:00:40.439
<v Speaker 2>to deliberate. Jurors got the case on Friday. After closing arguments,

12
00:00:40.479 --> 00:00:42.600
<v Speaker 2>they deliberated for about an hour and a half before

13
00:00:42.600 --> 00:00:45.000
<v Speaker 2>they went home for the weekend. There's twelve people on

14
00:00:45.039 --> 00:00:47.880
<v Speaker 2>this jury, seven women and five men. During the first

15
00:00:47.880 --> 00:00:50.200
<v Speaker 2>trial that ended in a mistrial over a hung jury,

16
00:00:50.240 --> 00:00:52.880
<v Speaker 2>there was an even split of six men and six women.

17
00:00:53.039 --> 00:00:55.759
<v Speaker 2>There's three charges on the verdict, slip second degree murder,

18
00:00:55.920 --> 00:00:58.840
<v Speaker 2>manslaughter while driving under the influence, and leaving the scene

19
00:00:58.880 --> 00:00:59.799
<v Speaker 2>of an accident.

20
00:00:59.520 --> 00:01:00.399
<v Speaker 3>Resulting in death.

21
00:01:00.479 --> 00:01:02.640
<v Speaker 2>I'm a freedman. W B Z Boston's news.

22
00:01:02.600 --> 00:01:05.840
<v Speaker 1>Radio I Met Karen Read verdict slip has Karen Reid's

23
00:01:05.840 --> 00:01:09.400
<v Speaker 1>defense with some issues. This morning, the defense formally asked

24
00:01:09.400 --> 00:01:12.000
<v Speaker 1>the court to amend the second verdict slip for manslaughter,

25
00:01:12.319 --> 00:01:15.400
<v Speaker 1>the defense saying the current verdict slip, particularly the slip

26
00:01:15.760 --> 00:01:20.400
<v Speaker 1>for count two, risk confusing the jury and thus causing errors.

27
00:01:20.480 --> 00:01:24.200
<v Speaker 1>Judge Beverly Canoni denying motion, writing that the verdict slip

28
00:01:24.280 --> 00:01:29.079
<v Speaker 1>is consistent with Massachusetts law. Lawyers for Harvard have made

29
00:01:29.120 --> 00:01:32.920
<v Speaker 1>their case against the Trump administration's plans to ban international

30
00:01:32.959 --> 00:01:34.920
<v Speaker 1>students from enrolling at the school.

31
00:01:35.000 --> 00:01:37.840
<v Speaker 3>The hearing saw lawyer for the Trump administration arguing that

32
00:01:37.879 --> 00:01:41.280
<v Speaker 3>Harvard can't be trusted that the school isn't properly monitoring

33
00:01:41.319 --> 00:01:45.280
<v Speaker 3>its students or sufficiently cracking down on anti Semitism. Harvard's

34
00:01:45.319 --> 00:01:48.560
<v Speaker 3>lawyer said the vetting of visa holders is the government's responsibility,

35
00:01:48.719 --> 00:01:51.359
<v Speaker 3>and he argued the university is being retaliated against for

36
00:01:51.439 --> 00:01:55.120
<v Speaker 3>not bending to the administration's far reaching demands. Judge Allison

37
00:01:55.159 --> 00:01:58.319
<v Speaker 3>Burrows has extended her temporary restraining order, which had been

38
00:01:58.319 --> 00:02:01.760
<v Speaker 3>set to expire this coming Thursday, until next Monday while

39
00:02:01.760 --> 00:02:04.280
<v Speaker 3>she considers whether to impose a longer lasting injunction.

40
00:02:04.439 --> 00:02:07.480
<v Speaker 1>Mattis CBS is Stephen Portnoy. President Trump, meantime, is at

41
00:02:07.519 --> 00:02:10.560
<v Speaker 1>the G seventh summit in Canada. He says Iran want

42
00:02:10.599 --> 00:02:13.280
<v Speaker 1>to negotiate with Israel while it still can.

43
00:02:13.479 --> 00:02:16.520
<v Speaker 4>Despite weekend talks getting canceled. President Trump said Monday he

44
00:02:16.560 --> 00:02:19.280
<v Speaker 4>believes Iran is open to engagement with the US on

45
00:02:19.319 --> 00:02:20.280
<v Speaker 4>a nuclear agreement.

46
00:02:20.520 --> 00:02:23.879
<v Speaker 5>They have to make a deal, and it's painful for

47
00:02:23.960 --> 00:02:27.080
<v Speaker 5>both parties, but I'd say Iran is not winning this

48
00:02:27.199 --> 00:02:31.039
<v Speaker 5>war and they should talk, and they should talk immediately

49
00:02:31.159 --> 00:02:32.080
<v Speaker 5>before it's too late.

50
00:02:32.240 --> 00:02:35.400
<v Speaker 4>The President told ABC Sunday, it's possible the US could

51
00:02:35.400 --> 00:02:38.479
<v Speaker 4>get involved in Israel's fight against Iran as today. What

52
00:02:38.560 --> 00:02:40.719
<v Speaker 4>it would take for that to happen, he said.

53
00:02:40.719 --> 00:02:41.879
<v Speaker 5>I don't want to talk about that.

<v Speaker 4>Karen Travers, ABC News. The White House.

55
00:02:44.400 --> 00:02:48.280
<v Speaker 1>Let the lottery begin. Applications are now available online for

59
00:02:59.639 --> 00:03:01.759
<v Speaker 1>if you in there's a special plate fee that will

60
00:03:01.759 --> 00:03:04.960
<v Speaker 1>be required as well as the standard registration fee. There

61
00:03:05.000 --> 00:03:08.240
<v Speaker 1>are two hundred and eighty three plates available this time around,

62

<v Speaker 1>including the numbers forty two, one hundred and eight nineteen

63
00:03:11.439 --> 00:03:15.159
<v Speaker 1>ninety seven. Pretty decent day to day, temperatures climbing into

64
00:03:15.199 --> 00:03:17.479
<v Speaker 1>the seventies and the warmer spots mid sixties. In the

65
00:03:17.520 --> 00:03:20.319
<v Speaker 1>cooler spots, we'll have mostly cloudy skies as we head

66
00:03:20.360 --> 00:03:24.360
<v Speaker 1>into the evening, temperatures mainly in the fifties upper fifties downtown,

67
00:03:24.400 --> 00:03:27.280
<v Speaker 1>a few degrees below that in the suburbs. There'll be

68
00:03:27.319 --> 00:03:29.879
<v Speaker 1>some fog that pushes in here later tonight in some

69
00:03:30.039 --> 00:03:32.639
<v Speaker 1>areas as well, and then some clouds around Tomorrow, maybe

70
00:03:32.680 --> 00:03:36.840
<v Speaker 1>some showers or drizzled Temperatures about seventy a rather cloudy night.

71
00:03:37.000 --> 00:03:39.080
<v Speaker 1>Tomorrow night hello of sixty one with a couple of

72
00:03:39.120 --> 00:03:43.319
<v Speaker 1>showers possible. Wednesday's a warmer day, more humid too, some sunshine,

73
00:03:43.360 --> 00:03:47.199
<v Speaker 1>temperatures near eighty. Maybe a thunderstorm as well. Thursday, maybe

74
00:03:47.199 --> 00:03:49.919
<v Speaker 1>a thunderstorm especially late in the day as we really

75
00:03:49.960 --> 00:03:52.680
<v Speaker 1>crank up the heat, getting to around ninety degrees for

76
00:03:52.680 --> 00:03:55.879
<v Speaker 1>the high on Thursday. With that increased humidity, those storms

77
00:03:55.879 --> 00:03:58.759
<v Speaker 1>on Thursday afternoon should push the humidity out of our

78
00:03:58.879 --> 00:04:02.400
<v Speaker 1>way right now five degrees see in Boston. Well it's

79
00:04:02.439 --> 00:04:05.120
<v Speaker 1>a tiny little dot, that's it. A couple of pixels.

80
00:04:05.439 --> 00:04:07.840
<v Speaker 1>But the humble period carries a lot of weight These days,

81
00:04:07.879 --> 00:04:10.240
<v Speaker 1>it appears wbz' s Kyle Shaffle has details.

82
00:04:10.360 --> 00:04:12.919
<v Speaker 6>It seems a large part of texting is subtext, and

83
00:04:12.919 --> 00:04:15.199
<v Speaker 6>there's a lot to read between those lines. You're texting

84
00:04:15.199 --> 00:04:16.920
<v Speaker 6>somebody to text you back there. But a period at

85
00:04:17.040 --> 00:04:17.519
<v Speaker 6>in his ends?

86
00:04:17.560 --> 00:04:18.199
<v Speaker 1>Are they mad at you?

87
00:04:18.319 --> 00:04:18.439
<v Speaker 3>Or what?

88
00:04:19.079 --> 00:04:20.720
<v Speaker 6>One per one hundred percent?

89
00:04:20.759 --> 00:04:21.800
<v Speaker 7>They're definitely mad at you.

90
00:04:21.959 --> 00:04:24.279
<v Speaker 6>Every single person I talked to under the age of

91
00:04:24.319 --> 00:04:27.399
<v Speaker 6>thirty had that same opinion. Periods are the province of

92
00:04:27.480 --> 00:04:30.800
<v Speaker 6>grandparents and old people, especially in a text. Younger folks

93
00:04:30.920 --> 00:04:32.839
<v Speaker 6>understand them as a sign of deep anger.

94
00:04:32.959 --> 00:04:36.000
<v Speaker 7>But someone like a friend or significant other, there's a

95
00:04:36.000 --> 00:04:37.319
<v Speaker 7>period there, you're in trouble.

96
00:04:37.480 --> 00:04:39.639
<v Speaker 6>This isn't just a feeling among a couple of people.

97
00:04:39.720 --> 00:04:42.360
<v Speaker 6>There's been several recent studies published in this area. One

98
00:04:42.399 --> 00:04:44.839
<v Speaker 6>of those out of Australia found that the negative association

99
00:04:45.040 --> 00:04:46.959
<v Speaker 6>decreases the longer the sentences.

100
00:04:47.160 --> 00:04:49.600
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I mean I always assume that he's mad at

101
00:04:49.600 --> 00:04:49.959
<v Speaker 4>me when.

102
00:04:49.879 --> 00:04:53.959
<v Speaker 6>He uses a period. Kyle Shaffle to be BZ Boston's NewsRadio.

103
00:04:53.600 --> 00:04:55.839
<v Speaker 1>Wait till I put a dozen exclamation points at the

104
00:04:55.879 --> 00:04:58.120
<v Speaker 1>end of the text downe. At eight pm, the Red

105
00:04:58.160 --> 00:05:01.920
<v Speaker 1>Sox will be announcing more information about the trade of

106
00:05:02.000 --> 00:05:04.959
<v Speaker 1>Rafael Devers to Red Sox Nation. The Sluggers had to

107
00:05:05.000 --> 00:05:07.759
<v Speaker 1>San Francisco to play for the Giants. There are some

108
00:05:07.800 --> 00:05:10.800
<v Speaker 1>wondering what happened. Nobody busies drumal Holland with details.

109
00:05:10.879 --> 00:05:14.560
<v Speaker 7>Raphael Devers had landed the largest contract in Red Sox history.

110
00:05:14.800 --> 00:05:18.720
<v Speaker 7>It's gone and now Raffie's gone. The Red Sox feeling

111
00:05:18.800 --> 00:05:21.040
<v Speaker 7>like Rafael Devers did not live up to the ten year,

112
00:05:21.079 --> 00:05:24.000
<v Speaker 7>three hundred and thirteen million dollar deal he signed in

113
00:05:24.120 --> 00:05:26.959
<v Speaker 7>January of twenty twenty three. If not shocked, Red Sox

114
00:05:26.959 --> 00:05:29.360
<v Speaker 7>fans are at least surprised by the deal. The Socks

115
00:05:29.399 --> 00:05:31.560
<v Speaker 7>are hot right now and just swept the Yankees. Randy

117
00:05:34.839 --> 00:05:36.839
<v Speaker 7>He says, Giants fans out there did not see this

118
00:05:36.920 --> 00:05:39.240
<v Speaker 7>one coming, but they're on cloud nine and they love

119
00:05:39.319 --> 00:05:41.879
<v Speaker 7>the idea of Devers hitting out there at Oracle Park.

120
00:05:41.959 --> 00:05:44.279
<v Speaker 1>Some of his hits from Fenway laid over to Oracle

121
00:05:44.319 --> 00:05:46.680
<v Speaker 1>and actually some of those doubles and triples would be Homer's,

122
00:05:46.800 --> 00:05:47.959
<v Speaker 1>you know, here in San Francisco.

123
00:05:48.079 --> 00:05:50.360
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, I'm probably going to see some baseball splashing down

124
00:05:50.399 --> 00:05:53.839
<v Speaker 7>in McCovey Cove from Devers, Rafael Devers, the last remaining
