Speaker 3: against her dismiss In this new court filing, Supreme Court
Speaker 3: Justice Elizabeth Dewart did not make a decision on the matter,
Speaker 3: but said the full panel will hear arguments on the appeal.
Speaker 3: It's important to note here that the judge did have
Speaker 3: the power to dismiss this entirely. The court has outlined
Speaker 3: some important dates in the matter. There's a series of
Speaker 3: deadlines for the defense and prosecution to file briefs over
Speaker 3: the next month. In oral arguments could be held as
Speaker 3: early as November. Lawyers for Reid are looking to get

Speaker 3: ruled in the lower court hearing that this didn't amount
Speaker 3: to that, but both sides confirmed that they heard from
Speaker 3: jurors saying they were unanimous on those two charges. As
Speaker 3: of right now, Reid will face a second trial on
Speaker 3: all three charges in January of next year, but this
Speaker 3: Supreme Court case could impact that loriie.
Speaker 2: Aptly time, as you said, Brook, November, So that gives

Speaker 2: Up, scams, scams and more scams. Everything you need to
Speaker 2: know to avoid them. By the way, Aki Weathers brought
Speaker 2: to us by the Good Feet Store, improving people's lives
Speaker 2: two feet at a time. And you need something dry
Speaker 2: on your feet. The flip flops are not going to work,
Speaker 2: not today, not tonight, not tomorrow. Maybe Sunday. But your
Speaker 2: toes might get a little bit cold because we're gonna
Speaker 2: be a lot cooler fall arrive Sunday. Are you excited
Speaker 2: about that? I know a lot of you are. Some
Speaker 2: of you are sad about summer leaving us. And leaving
Speaker 2: us like this. We have rain and steady rain, heavy
Speaker 2: rain for the Cape and islands, and you know it's
Speaker 2: so sticky. The icky stickies are back tonight low fifty
Speaker 2: six to sixty tomorrow mostly clytie, breezy, couple of showers,
Speaker 2: especially on the Cape and the Islands. But just keep
Speaker 2: in mind we are so dry out there. Well, the
Speaker 2: dry is our lawns, our height ranges, our plants and
Speaker 2: everything is just really really in need of some raine.
Speaker 2: So that's the upside of this weather. Let's go to
Speaker 2: the fair, the tops Field Fair. People purchasing tickets for
Speaker 2: the tops Field Fair, which is a great take, say
Speaker 2: they're being scared a hundreds of dollars in a buying
Speaker 2: more tickets that simply don't exist. WBZTV's Brandon true It
Speaker 2: spoke with a fairs GM James O'Brien about it.
Speaker 6: And I was extremely disappointed because I feel that our patrons,
Speaker 6: you know, work had for their money. I don't want
Speaker 6: anybody to be cheated. We're all about value right now.
Speaker 6: Was selling fifteen dollar Prefia tickets instead.
Speaker 5: The website you should be looking for at the fair's
Speaker 5: main homepage at Topsviillfare. Dot Org O'Brien is clear that
Speaker 5: the fair does not sell tickets on the secondary market,
Speaker 5: and tickets should only cost you fifteen dollars in advance
Speaker 5: and twenty dollars day of.
Speaker 6: Where a New England fear been here for two hundred
Speaker 6: and six years, that's a lot of reputation that we
Speaker 6: certainly wouldn't want to be tarnished over something like this.
Speaker 2: The Topsfield Fair opens in about two weeks on October fourth,
Speaker 2: which I'm really glad. When I was doing that story,
Speaker 2: I said, ooh, when does that open, because that's a
Speaker 2: fun fear to go to. I hope you have nice
Speaker 2: weather all right for that event. And Brookline Police here
Speaker 2: it is everybody, and this is not just Brookline in
Speaker 2: this particular case. We're focusing on this scam and Brookline,
Speaker 2: but we've done so many stories that are similar, so
Speaker 2: listen up. Brookline Police are warning about scammers pretending to
Speaker 2: be officers from their department. Now at least one fraudster
Speaker 2: fraud Stir is calling around and threatening unsuspecting victims with
Speaker 2: jail time if they don't send money in the form
Speaker 2: of cryptocurrency crypto. So the scammer even changes their caller ID,
Speaker 2: so what looks like the call is originating from that
Speaker 2: Brookline Police department. They are so clever now thanks to
Speaker 2: new tech. Please say, real officers would never make a
Speaker 2: call like this, They just wouldn't do it. And the
Speaker 2: whole thing is a really good reminder to never give
Speaker 2: out your personal information over the phone period, and you
Speaker 2: might want to mail that money directly to the department.
Speaker 2: You are now in the loop. For news up dates
