<v Speaker 2>of Karen Reid. Justice is agreeing to take up the

11
00:00:36.799 --> 00:00:39.240
<v Speaker 2>case after lawyers for Karen Reid had filed a motion

12

13
00:00:41.960 --> 00:00:44.679
<v Speaker 2>a lower court on the grounds of double jeopardy, but

14
00:00:44.759 --> 00:00:47.799
<v Speaker 2>Judge Beverly Canoni said it didn't amount to that. Judge

15
00:00:47.799 --> 00:00:50.759
<v Speaker 2>Canoni presided over her first criminal trial that ended with

16
00:00:50.799 --> 00:00:54.000
<v Speaker 2>a hung jury. Her second all three charges is set

17
00:00:54.000 --> 00:00:57.200

18
00:00:57.200 --> 00:00:59.880
<v Speaker 2>with the SJC, lawyers for Reid site messages and phone

19
00:00:59.880 --> 00:01:02.640

00:01:06.000 --> 00:01:09.040
<v Speaker 2>until October sixteenth that filed their brief with the SGC.

22
00:01:09.680 --> 00:01:12.079
<v Speaker 2>This all comes as Read also faces a wrongful death

23
00:01:12.159 --> 00:01:14.560
<v Speaker 2>lawsuit filed by the family of John O'Keeffe, which her

24
00:01:14.599 --> 00:01:16.920
<v Speaker 2>team is trying to get paused until after the criminal

25
00:01:17.000 --> 00:01:18.000
<v Speaker 2>case is settled.

26
00:01:18.040 --> 00:01:21.760
<v Speaker 1>Ben all right, then, the mosquito season, it's waning, but

27
00:01:22.480 --> 00:01:26.319
<v Speaker 1>it's still here and the threats still exist. In New Hampshire,

28
00:01:26.359 --> 00:01:27.519
<v Speaker 1>another death from tripoli.

29
00:01:27.680 --> 00:01:30.799
<v Speaker 3>The Hampshire officials are confirming a second resident has died

30
00:01:30.840 --> 00:01:33.959
<v Speaker 3>from eastern neckwine encephalitis. The patient was an adult man

31
00:01:33.959 --> 00:01:36.680
<v Speaker 3>from Danville. The first death, announced in late August was

32
00:01:36.680 --> 00:01:39.760
<v Speaker 3>a neighboring Hampstead. In total, the Granite State has confirmed

33
00:01:39.799 --> 00:01:42.400
<v Speaker 3>five patients with the mosquito borne illness. There have been

34
00:01:42.480 --> 00:01:46.040
<v Speaker 3>four here in Massachusetts and an action the town manager

35
00:01:46.079 --> 00:01:49.159
<v Speaker 3>now confirms to us a resident tragically died. With the

36
00:01:49.200 --> 00:01:52.319
<v Speaker 3>news coming down early last month base date, Health officials

37
00:01:52.359 --> 00:01:55.159
<v Speaker 3>won't release information on any triple E deaths till the

38
00:01:55.239 --> 00:01:58.079
<v Speaker 3>end of the season. Risk levels are now falling, but

39
00:01:58.120 --> 00:02:01.000
<v Speaker 3>the threat won't be eliminated until the first hard frost.

40
00:02:01.400 --> 00:02:04.000
<v Speaker 3>West Nile is still a problem as well. With DPH

41
00:02:04.079 --> 00:02:06.920
<v Speaker 3>now confirming two more cases, a woman in her sixties

42
00:02:07.040 --> 00:02:09.840
<v Speaker 3>likely exposed in Middlesex County and a woman in her

43
00:02:09.960 --> 00:02:14.000
<v Speaker 3>seventies likely exposed out of state. Madison Rogers w b Z,

45
00:02:15.520 --> 00:02:18.599
<v Speaker 1>There's a new colonel in town. Jeffrey Noble, sworn in

46
00:02:18.680 --> 00:02:20.520
<v Speaker 1>as the head of the State Police by Governor Moray

47
00:02:20.560 --> 00:02:21.400
<v Speaker 1>Hilly today.

48
00:02:21.599 --> 00:02:24.759
<v Speaker 4>Colonel Jeffrey Noble is the first leader of the Massachusetts

49
00:02:24.800 --> 00:02:28.080
<v Speaker 4>State Police who is from outside the department's ranks. He

50
00:02:28.199 --> 00:02:30.840
<v Speaker 4>was the retired second in command of the New Jersey

51
00:02:31.000 --> 00:02:34.120
<v Speaker 4>State Police. Noble takes command of a force plagued by

52
00:02:34.120 --> 00:02:38.520
<v Speaker 4>corruption scandals in recent years, including overtime, fraud, and bribery

53
00:02:38.520 --> 00:02:42.879
<v Speaker 4>scandals that led to troopers being criminally charged. Governor Morrehey

54
00:02:43.039 --> 00:02:44.879
<v Speaker 4>on the men she appointed.

55
00:02:44.439 --> 00:02:48.439
<v Speaker 5>Colonel Noble is the right leader for this agency at

56
00:02:48.439 --> 00:02:52.240
<v Speaker 5>this moment in time. I'm confident that he is the

57
00:02:52.360 --> 00:02:55.479
<v Speaker 5>leader that are hard working State Police and the people

58
00:02:55.520 --> 00:02:56.960
<v Speaker 5>of Massachusetts deserve.

59
00:02:57.159 --> 00:03:00.199
<v Speaker 4>Colonel Noble takes command of a trooper training program it's

60
00:03:00.280 --> 00:03:04.039

00:03:28.120 --> 00:03:32.680
<v Speaker 1>Haunted Happenings Festival. A halfway decent weekend coming our way

69
00:03:32.719 --> 00:03:34.599
<v Speaker 1>and halfway decent because we got to get through a

70
00:03:34.639 --> 00:03:37.719
<v Speaker 1>little bit of shower activity. First Tonight, we'll have some

71

73
00:03:42.680 --> 00:03:46.680

75
00:03:49.479 --> 00:03:52.280

76
00:03:52.319 --> 00:03:54.759
<v Speaker 1>be seeing partly the mostly sunny sky. So a very

77
00:03:54.840 --> 00:03:57.840
<v Speaker 1>nice second half of Saturday with temperatures in the load

78
00:03:57.840 --> 00:04:01.080

83
00:04:11.919 --> 00:04:14.000
<v Speaker 1>yourself some fresh air, try to step it out of

84
00:04:14.039 --> 00:04:17.720
<v Speaker 1>the Public Garden, breathe in the sites and smells. But

85
00:04:17.879 --> 00:04:21.319
<v Speaker 1>below the garden there are secrets in WBCs. Matt Shearer

86
00:04:21.360 --> 00:04:22.199
<v Speaker 1>got a tour.

87
00:04:22.120 --> 00:04:24.519
<v Speaker 6>On a beautiful fall day in the public Garden. Watch

88
00:04:24.560 --> 00:04:27.199
<v Speaker 6>your stead. We're about to climb down a ladder to

89
00:04:27.920 --> 00:04:31.439
<v Speaker 6>the faults. Welcome to the ball. That is Rebecca Mckeviit's

90
00:04:31.439 --> 00:04:33.519
<v Speaker 6>from Friends of the Public Garden. She'll be leading us

91
00:04:33.560 --> 00:04:35.240
<v Speaker 6>on this underground adventure he took.

92
00:04:35.240 --> 00:04:38.920
<v Speaker 7>The other fountains has their own ball. None are nearly

93
00:04:38.959 --> 00:04:41.240
<v Speaker 7>as vague or as intricate as this one.

94
00:04:41.319 --> 00:04:44.439
<v Speaker 6>In other words, there are several vaults throughout the public Garden,

95
00:04:44.680 --> 00:04:47.480
<v Speaker 6>all of which house pumps, filters, and electronics for the

96
00:04:47.519 --> 00:04:48.399
<v Speaker 6>water fountains.

97
00:04:48.519 --> 00:04:52.319

98
00:04:52.519 --> 00:04:54.480
<v Speaker 7>chemicals are used to clean the water.

99
00:04:54.560 --> 00:04:57.240
<v Speaker 6>There's also a computer down here that automates lights. So

100
00:04:57.279 --> 00:05:00.360
<v Speaker 6>now these two fountains from the eighteen hundred shine than that.

101
00:05:00.639 --> 00:05:03.399
<v Speaker 7>They were never lit before, and now at nighttime, they're

102
00:05:03.680 --> 00:05:04.560
<v Speaker 7>much more exciting.

103
00:05:04.680 --> 00:05:05.199
<v Speaker 1>It's lid.

104
00:05:05.319 --> 00:05:07.959
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, it's lit from the vaults.

112

<v Speaker 1>Vance told supporters the former president's handling of assassination attempts

122
00:05:59.639 --> 00:06:00.720
<v Speaker 1>shows he fit for office.

123
00:06:00.800 --> 00:06:03.399
<v Speaker 3>You want a man who can stand in the gap,

124
00:06:03.439 --> 00:06:06.839
<v Speaker 3>who can literally take a bullet and keep his composure

125
00:06:07.079 --> 00:06:08.040
<v Speaker 3>and stay who he is.

126
00:06:08.360 --> 00:06:09.120

<v Speaker 6>Trump.

128
00:06:09.920 --> 00:06:11.680

129
00:06:11.720 --> 00:06:14.040
<v Speaker 4>of United States, because we need a leader in the
