00:00:13.800 --> 00:00:16.879
<v Speaker 2>I'm Ben Parker. Here's what's happening. He's out of work.

4
00:00:17.120 --> 00:00:20.640
<v Speaker 2>Trooper Michael Proctor is fired after an investigation into his

5
00:00:20.679 --> 00:00:25.039
<v Speaker 2>actions and behavior in the Karen Reid investigation. CBS News

6
00:00:25.039 --> 00:00:28.640
<v Speaker 2>Boston's Christina Rex at State Police headquarters in Framingham details

7
00:00:28.679 --> 00:00:29.120
<v Speaker 2>the rulers.

8
00:00:29.199 --> 00:00:31.879
<v Speaker 3>This information all came out as he took the stand

9
00:00:31.960 --> 00:00:34.799
<v Speaker 3>in Karen Reid's first trial last summer, where it was

10
00:00:34.840 --> 00:00:37.479
<v Speaker 3>revealed that he sent lude text messages about Reid on

11
00:00:37.479 --> 00:00:41.600
<v Speaker 3>his personal cell phone. Family, friends, and fellow troopers, and

12
00:00:42.240 --> 00:00:45.079
<v Speaker 3>state police say he did not conduct his investigation into

13
00:00:45.079 --> 00:00:48.520
<v Speaker 3>that case up to state police standards. He also was

14
00:00:48.520 --> 00:00:50.759
<v Speaker 3>in trouble for an incident where he went out drinking

15
00:00:50.840 --> 00:00:55.799
<v Speaker 3>with Canton police officer Kevin Albert, then drove his cruiser afterwards. Now,

16
00:00:55.840 --> 00:00:58.719
<v Speaker 3>the trial board found him guilty on both of those charges.

17
00:00:58.960 --> 00:01:01.679
<v Speaker 3>This isn't guilty in the criminal sense, just guilty of

18
00:01:01.759 --> 00:01:03.679
<v Speaker 3>violating state police protocol.

19
00:01:03.280 --> 00:01:06.319
<v Speaker 2>And Proctor was dishonorably discharged, meaning he can never again

20
00:01:06.400 --> 00:01:08.400
<v Speaker 2>work as a mass State trooper. He does have the

21
00:01:08.480 --> 00:01:11.120
<v Speaker 2>right to appeal. Procter's family, in his statement says they're

22
00:01:11.120 --> 00:01:14.400
<v Speaker 2>truly disappointed with the trial Board's decision, as it lacks

23
00:01:14.519 --> 00:01:18.120
<v Speaker 2>precedent and unfairly exploits and scapegoats one of their own.

24
00:01:18.519 --> 00:01:20.599
<v Speaker 2>Less than two weeks from now, Karen Reid will go

25
00:01:20.680 --> 00:01:23.079
<v Speaker 2>on trial again in the death of her Boston Police boyfriend,

26
00:01:23.159 --> 00:01:25.840
<v Speaker 2>Ronald Keef. Her defense has now filed a list of

27
00:01:25.959 --> 00:01:29.239
<v Speaker 2>prospective witnesses. The filing ahead of the retrial includes more

28
00:01:29.280 --> 00:01:32.640
<v Speaker 2>than ninety names, including now former State trooper Michael Procter,

29
00:01:32.719 --> 00:01:34.959
<v Speaker 2>as well as many other names from the first trial.

30
00:01:35.359 --> 00:01:37.920
<v Speaker 2>Reads retrial is set to start April first. There is

31
00:01:37.959 --> 00:01:41.760
<v Speaker 2>one more hearing set before that trial tomorrow in Dedham.

00:01:52.079 --> 00:01:56.719
<v Speaker 4>State Department's head of Foreign Assistants, overseeing any remaining USAID

36
00:01:56.920 --> 00:02:00.400

37
00:02:00.400 --> 00:02:03.719
<v Speaker 4>it more than eighty percent of the agency's contracts. That's

38
00:02:03.719 --> 00:02:06.680
<v Speaker 4>according to an email to State Department staff obtained by

39
00:02:06.719 --> 00:02:09.599
<v Speaker 4>the Associated Press. It was sent the same day of

40
00:02:09.680 --> 00:02:13.919
<v Speaker 4>federal judge ruled Doje and Elon Musk had no constitutional

<v Speaker 2>President Trump's sounding encouraged about a ceasefire in Ukraine after

45
00:02:26.360 --> 00:02:29.240
<v Speaker 2>speaking today with President Vladimir Zelenski.

46
00:02:29.360 --> 00:02:32.159
<v Speaker 1>The President says it was a very good call, about

47
00:02:32.159 --> 00:02:35.599
<v Speaker 1>an hour long, and was aimed at aligning both Kivan

48
00:02:35.599 --> 00:02:39.120
<v Speaker 1>and Moscow in terms of their requests and needs. As

49
00:02:39.120 --> 00:02:42.800
<v Speaker 1>he tries to negotiate a ceasefire, the president writes on

50
00:02:42.919 --> 00:02:47.120
<v Speaker 1>social media, we are very much on track. Putin yesterday

51
00:02:47.240 --> 00:02:50.439
<v Speaker 1>refused to back a full thirty day cease fire, but

52
00:02:50.639 --> 00:02:54.960
<v Speaker 1>did agree not to target Ukraine's energy infrastructure, a vow.

53
00:02:55.080 --> 00:02:59.919
<v Speaker 1>Zolensky says, Russia's already broken amid heavy drone strikes over night.

54
00:03:00.919 --> 00:03:03.520
<v Speaker 2>That is the Ape s Saga Magani. It's got some

55
00:03:03.599 --> 00:03:06.120
<v Speaker 2>sunshine around, but it's not right near the coast, that's

56
00:03:06.159 --> 00:03:08.879
<v Speaker 2>for sure. We've got the clouds and some fog hanging

57
00:03:08.879 --> 00:03:12.240
<v Speaker 2>in right near the coastal areas. But as you step inland,

58
00:03:12.719 --> 00:03:15.439
<v Speaker 2>you bring in some sunshine and warm things up into

59
00:03:15.479 --> 00:03:19.520

00:03:25.240 --> 00:03:27.759

63
00:03:27.759 --> 00:03:30.439
<v Speaker 2>are at forty degrees right now in Boston with the

64
00:03:30.639 --> 00:03:33.599
<v Speaker 2>reading over at Logan Airport. We'll have clouds overspreading the

65
00:03:33.639 --> 00:03:35.840
<v Speaker 2>area as we head through the night too, some fog

66
00:03:35.919 --> 00:03:39.639
<v Speaker 2>and some spotty drizzle. Temperatures in the upper thirties. Tomorrow,

67
00:03:39.719 --> 00:03:41.800
<v Speaker 2>There'll be some fog and some drizzle in the morning,

68
00:03:42.000 --> 00:03:45.000
<v Speaker 2>just in some places, not everybody. We'll see it mainly

69
00:03:45.039 --> 00:03:47.800
<v Speaker 2>cloudy through the day though, temperatures fifty to fifty five,

70

72
00:03:52.520 --> 00:03:55.800
<v Speaker 2>the morning. On Friday, it will be windy. Temperatures eventually

73
00:03:55.800 --> 00:03:58.360
<v Speaker 2>climb into the upper forties, and by Saturday we'll climb

74
00:03:58.400 --> 00:04:00.560
<v Speaker 2>into the mid to maybe upper fIF fifties with a

75
00:04:00.599 --> 00:04:04.800
<v Speaker 2>mix of clouds and sunshine. Forty degrees right now in Boston.

00:04:12.360 --> 00:04:14.800
<v Speaker 5>into Pop's pinball parlor. The walls are lined with a

80
00:04:14.840 --> 00:04:18.759
<v Speaker 5>dozen jewel colored, flashing, singing machines, all of them shouting

<v Speaker 6>The most fun, the most work, and the least money

92
