Speaker 2: Karen Reid trial in Norfolk Superior Court, but CBS News
Speaker 2: Boston's Christina Rex tells us a lot of talk centers
Speaker 2: on who will not be called as witnesses.
Speaker 1: There's a growing belief that the Commonwealth will not call
Speaker 1: these three men to the stand, Brian Albert, Brian Higgins,
Speaker 1: and former trooper Michael Profter. The three were key figures
Speaker 1: in Karen Reid's first trial. Defense attorneys claimed Brian Higgins
Speaker 1: or Albert could have killed to John O'Keeffe w b
Speaker 1: Z Legal analyst Catherine Loftus explains that prosecutors are likely
Speaker 1: taking a completely new approach by not calling them, leaving
Speaker 1: it up to defense attorneys to call those controversial witnesses.
Speaker 2: If you want to put on your case and you
Speaker 2: want to blame people, you can do it. I don't
Speaker 2: need them for my case.
Speaker 1: But what about Michael Proctor? How could the state put
Speaker 1: on a case where the lead investigator doesn't testify, You
Speaker 1: run the risk of looking like you hid in the
Speaker 1: ball to the jury. If prosecutors don't call any of
Speaker 1: these witnesses to the stand, defense attorneys will have the
Speaker 1: option to call them.
Speaker 2: The new witness is expected to testify this morning after
Speaker 2: the jury hears three full consecutive days from Massachusetts State
Speaker 2: Police Sergeant Jury Buchannic, a Boston City Hall attorney, has
Speaker 2: been sidelined, and he claims it's because of retaliation. John Houghton,
Speaker 2: the staff lawyer at City Hall, has been placed on
Speaker 2: paid leave after it's discovered he's running for mayor. Houghten
Speaker 2: has been with the city for almost twenty years, most
Speaker 2: of that time as counsel for the Treasury to Apartment.
Speaker 2: He tells The Globe this morning that city officials told
Speaker 2: him his sidelining was because of his run for mayor.
Speaker 2: Houghton is one of more than a dozen candidates who've
Speaker 2: pulled papers to challenge Mayor Michelle Wu Happening right now,
Speaker 2: Israeli air strikes bombard homes in northern Gaza, and as
Speaker 2: the dust settles from the most recent attack, dozens are
Speaker 2: said to be dead, among them several children. The latest
Speaker 2: round of blasts come as President Trump continues a Middle
Speaker 2: East tour with a chip on his shoulder against Israeli
Speaker 2: Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahoo installed ceasefire talks in the region. Meantime,
Speaker 2: Israeli defense officials are now admitting, at least privately, that
Speaker 2: people remaining in Gaza are on the brink of starvation. Meantime,
Speaker 2: President Trump meets with Syria's new president on the sidelines
Speaker 2: of an Arab summit in Saudi Arabia this morning. It
Speaker 2: completes a remarkable comeback for the Republic, which is emerging
Speaker 2: from the shadows of the Asad families more than half
