00:00:01.280 --> 00:00:06.519
<v Speaker 1>This is WBZ, Boston's news radio redefining local news.

2
00:00:11.560 --> 00:00:15.119
<v Speaker 2>Good Morning at eleven o'clock on this Tuesday, mostly clouding

3
00:00:15.199 --> 00:00:19.199
<v Speaker 2>forty two degrees in Boston and back and forth and

4
00:00:19.719 --> 00:00:22.600
<v Speaker 2>back again, and the Karen Reid murder case in det

5
00:00:23.359 --> 00:00:26.960
<v Speaker 2>Lawyers this morning have been arguing over which witnesses are

6
00:00:27.079 --> 00:00:31.440
<v Speaker 2>best suited to testify in the upcoming retrial. Joining me

7
00:00:31.519 --> 00:00:34.600
<v Speaker 2>now live again is wbz's Jay will.

8
00:00:34.560 --> 00:00:37.759
<v Speaker 3>Lett Hey Lord. The latest witness that the defense wants

9
00:00:37.759 --> 00:00:40.960
<v Speaker 3>to keep out of court is Robert Gilman, a meteorologist

10
00:00:41.000 --> 00:00:44.679
<v Speaker 3>who the prosecution wants to testify on blizzard conditions.

11
00:00:45.039 --> 00:00:48.240
<v Speaker 4>The Komba proposes calling this gentleman to talk about the

12
00:00:48.280 --> 00:00:52.960
<v Speaker 4>weather conditions leading up to midnight that John keeps killed,

13
00:00:53.359 --> 00:00:59.719
<v Speaker 4>to talk about the temperatures, the wind conditions, also the snowfall.

14
00:01:00.439 --> 00:01:04.280
<v Speaker 3>The prosecution's Hank Brennan defense lawyer Robert Alessi is against

15
00:01:04.359 --> 00:01:07.760
<v Speaker 3>Gilman's testimony based on his informal language, calling the ground

16
00:01:07.799 --> 00:01:10.560
<v Speaker 3>as hard as a rock. In his credentials, he's not

17
00:01:10.760 --> 00:01:12.319
<v Speaker 3>qualified in this area.

18
00:01:12.799 --> 00:01:16.000
<v Speaker 4>He doesn't even state a methodology.

19
00:01:16.400 --> 00:01:19.040
<v Speaker 3>Earlier today, the two sides sparred over having a dog

20
00:01:19.079 --> 00:01:22.200
<v Speaker 3>bite expert for the prosecution take the stand doctor James

21
00:01:22.239 --> 00:01:25.959
<v Speaker 3>Crosby his testimony, ruling out the possibility O'Keefe was bitten

22
00:01:26.000 --> 00:01:28.519
<v Speaker 3>by a dog. We're still waiting on a resolution to

23
00:01:28.560 --> 00:01:31.519
<v Speaker 3>state claims that the defense attorney, Alan Jackson prepped and

24
00:01:31.560 --> 00:01:36.200
<v Speaker 3>paid for a crash reconstruction expert despite a court order

25
00:01:36.239 --> 00:01:38.680
<v Speaker 3>not to. The defense also has a motion to throw

26
00:01:38.719 --> 00:01:42.480
<v Speaker 3>out the entire case on grounds of extraordinary governmental misconduct,

27
00:01:42.560 --> 00:01:45.840
<v Speaker 3>claiming the Commonwealth tampered with evidence and the jury. The

28
00:01:45.920 --> 00:01:49.079
<v Speaker 3>prosecution is asking the judge to deny the motion to dismiss.

29
00:01:49.319 --> 00:01:51.840
<v Speaker 3>A retrial is still scheduled for April first, but that

30
00:01:51.920 --> 00:01:55.359
<v Speaker 3>can change. Jay Willett WBZ Boston's News Radio.

31
00:01:56.000 --> 00:01:59.519
<v Speaker 2>Mexico and Canada woke up to new terrass from President

32
00:01:59.560 --> 00:02:04.359
<v Speaker 2>Donald Trump. The president also doubled duty against China. Now

33
00:02:04.680 --> 00:02:08.960
<v Speaker 2>all three countries have announced retaliatory tariffs, and Governor Healey

34
00:02:09.080 --> 00:02:13.360
<v Speaker 2>says base stators will pay the price. WBZ Sherry small

36
00:02:14.039 --> 00:02:18.199
<v Speaker 1>Governor Moore Healey issuing a statement warning Massachusetts residents that

37
00:02:18.360 --> 00:02:21.400
<v Speaker 1>new tariffs on Canada and Mexico will be felt here

38
00:02:21.439 --> 00:02:25.520
<v Speaker 1>at home. In addition to things like groceries, electronics, appliances,

39
00:02:25.520 --> 00:02:29.439
<v Speaker 1>cars and housing costing more. Heally says gas prices, home

40
00:02:29.479 --> 00:02:33.199
<v Speaker 1>heating and energy bills will skyrocket. She predicts paying twenty

41
00:02:33.240 --> 00:02:35.879
<v Speaker 1>cents more per gallon at the pump. The governor says

42
00:02:35.879 --> 00:02:38.919
<v Speaker 1>a ten percent tariff on petroleum and natural gas imports

43
00:02:38.919 --> 00:02:41.759
<v Speaker 1>from Canada would cost three hundred and seventy million dollars

44
00:02:41.800 --> 00:02:45.039
<v Speaker 1>a year here in Massachusetts and over billion dollars for

45
00:02:45.120 --> 00:02:48.319
<v Speaker 1>the New England region. She says, the President picking fights

46
00:02:48.360 --> 00:02:52.599
<v Speaker 1>with our allies and largest trading partners raises costs on everyone.

00:02:58.360 --> 00:03:01.919
<v Speaker 2>protests will be back at today on the Boston Common.

50
00:03:02.240 --> 00:03:05.280
<v Speaker 2>Fifty to fifty one Massachusetts is holding a Save our

00:03:05.400 --> 00:03:09.280
<v Speaker 2>Union rally starting at four pm. The Political Action Group

52
00:03:09.400 --> 00:03:13.319
<v Speaker 2>is asking all allied organizations to join them in peacefully

53
00:03:13.400 --> 00:03:17.319
<v Speaker 2>making their voices heard. The demonstration comes ahead of President

54
00:03:17.319 --> 00:03:20.639
<v Speaker 2>Trump's address this evening before a joint session of Congress.

55
00:03:21.159 --> 00:03:24.319
<v Speaker 2>We will take that live starting at nine pm Eastern,

56
00:03:24.439 --> 00:03:28.360
<v Speaker 2>and of course we'll stream it on the new iHeartRadio app.

57
00:03:28.879 --> 00:03:32.599
<v Speaker 2>Snow flurries in central New Hampshire right now, and just

58
00:03:32.680 --> 00:03:35.520
<v Speaker 2>a little bit of cloud cover in the Greater Boston area.

59
00:03:35.639 --> 00:03:38.120
<v Speaker 2>We're in the forties. We're headed for high of forty eight,

60
00:03:38.439 --> 00:03:42.879
<v Speaker 2>mostly cloudy tonight, low near forty, very mild weather continuing Tomorrow.

61
00:03:43.039 --> 00:03:47.000
<v Speaker 2>Fifty six are high, some stray showers, then heavy rain,

62
00:03:47.240 --> 00:03:53.800
<v Speaker 2>thunderstorms at night and Thursday leftover showers sixty degrees on Thursday.

63
00:03:54.560 --> 00:03:58.120
<v Speaker 2>Boston Public Schools might make use of a hospital that

64
00:03:58.240 --> 00:04:02.280
<v Speaker 2>fell victim to the Stuart health care crisis. Wbz's Jim

65
00:04:02.360 --> 00:04:04.479
<v Speaker 2>McKay reports.

66
00:04:03.960 --> 00:04:06.879
<v Speaker 5>When Carney Hospital closed down, a victim of the Stuart

67
00:04:06.879 --> 00:04:10.319
<v Speaker 5>Healthcare bankruptcy, many wondered, what will be coming here next?

68
00:04:10.560 --> 00:04:11.319
<v Speaker 5>How about a school?

69
00:04:11.360 --> 00:04:12.520
<v Speaker 4>I think it makes a lot of sense.

70
00:04:12.560 --> 00:04:15.639
<v Speaker 5>There's a proposal in the works that would take EMK Academy,

71
00:04:15.680 --> 00:04:18.120
<v Speaker 5>a school that has struggled finding a permanent location in

72
00:04:18.160 --> 00:04:18.600
<v Speaker 5>the past.

73
00:04:18.879 --> 00:04:21.839
<v Speaker 6>And how's it here on a brand new, sprawling campus.

74
00:04:21.399 --> 00:04:23.079
<v Speaker 3>All the kids are on that same playing field.

75
00:04:23.120 --> 00:04:25.079
<v Speaker 5>Well, it's just a proposal at the moment. Some of

76
00:04:25.120 --> 00:04:27.199
<v Speaker 5>the finances haven't even begun to play out.

77
00:04:27.319 --> 00:04:30.160
<v Speaker 3>It's just the way they're trying to put it out

78
00:04:30.160 --> 00:04:31.079
<v Speaker 3>from our constructure.

79
00:04:31.199 --> 00:04:33.759
<v Speaker 5>Marvin has two kids within the Boston Public Schools system,

80
00:04:34.040 --> 00:04:37.600
<v Speaker 5>also brings up challenges of travel to this potential new location.

81
00:04:37.439 --> 00:04:39.079
<v Speaker 3>And they're not looking at the downside.

82
00:04:39.120 --> 00:04:42.000
<v Speaker 5>The MK idea is one of five proposals being looked

83
00:04:42.040 --> 00:04:45.279
<v Speaker 5>at by the City of Boston and Boston Public Schools

84
00:04:45.560 --> 00:04:48.759
<v Speaker 5>at Dorchester. Jim AIKAWBZ Boston's news radio.

85
00:04:49.199 --> 00:04:52.879
<v Speaker 2>Relatively stable night for Pope Francis, who remains in the

86
00:04:52.879 --> 00:04:56.319
<v Speaker 2>hospital in Rome and guarded condition this hour. The Vatican

87
00:04:56.360 --> 00:04:59.319
<v Speaker 2>says the Pope no longer needs a ventilator mass to breathe.

88
00:04:59.519 --> 00:05:02.639
<v Speaker 2>He did sleep through the night and doctors removed build

89
00:05:02.720 --> 00:05:06.000
<v Speaker 2>up from his lungs during two respiratory crises in the

90
00:05:06.079 --> 00:05:10.240
<v Speaker 2>last couple of weeks. The Pope is receiving oxygen through

91
00:05:10.360 --> 00:05:12.959
<v Speaker 2>his nose through a tube. He is not out of

92
00:05:13.079 --> 00:05:16.560
<v Speaker 2>danger and again the Vatican will give us their evening

93
00:05:16.759 --> 00:05:20.319
<v Speaker 2>update in just a couple of hours. Tensions between the

94
00:05:20.439 --> 00:05:23.959
<v Speaker 2>US and Canada are still apparent at sporting events north

95
00:05:24.000 --> 00:05:27.279
<v Speaker 2>of the border, probably Bezi's Jared Brosden with that.

96
00:05:27.360 --> 00:05:29.639
<v Speaker 6>While we've entered the month of March, anthem singers in

97
00:05:29.680 --> 00:05:32.279
<v Speaker 6>Canada are still struggling to find silence as they step

98
00:05:32.360 --> 00:05:35.879
<v Speaker 6>up to the mic. First at the WWE's event in Toronto.

99
00:05:36.160 --> 00:05:42.600
<v Speaker 1>Where the Buckets of scene.

100
00:05:44.839 --> 00:05:47.879

101
00:05:48.639 --> 00:05:57.600
<v Speaker 6>can C by the Tzarly Light, and in Montreal, Canadians

102
00:05:57.639 --> 00:06:00.480
<v Speaker 6>fans ignored a familiar PSA that started in the Four

103
00:06:00.600 --> 00:06:01.399
<v Speaker 6>Nations tournament.

104
00:06:01.519 --> 00:06:04.079
<v Speaker 1>We asked, in the spirit of these three page that

105
00:06:04.199 --> 00:06:07.519
<v Speaker 1>united us, that you currently respect the Canadian and US

106
00:06:07.600 --> 00:06:10.920
<v Speaker 1>national anthems and the players representing each country.

107
00:06:11.279 --> 00:06:13.439
<v Speaker 6>With the tariffs now in effect, all eyes will be
