00:00:01.159 --> 00:00:06.400
<v Speaker 1>This is WBZ, Boston's news radio, redefining local news.

2
00:00:11.480 --> 00:00:13.839
<v Speaker 2>Friday morning. It's eleven o'clock. We're seeing a lot of

3
00:00:13.839 --> 00:00:16.160
<v Speaker 2>cloud cover out there. If you're along the coast, you're

4
00:00:16.239 --> 00:00:20.719
<v Speaker 2>seeing and hearing those waves pounding. Coastal flood advisories are

5
00:00:20.839 --> 00:00:24.559
<v Speaker 2>up for today this weekend looking mixed. More coming up.

6
00:00:24.640 --> 00:00:27.519
<v Speaker 2>I'm Laurie Kirby. We're following breaking news of the Karen

7
00:00:27.600 --> 00:00:31.719
<v Speaker 2>read case. Now it's been illegal battle since a mistraw

8
00:00:31.920 --> 00:00:35.280
<v Speaker 2>was declared back in July. Now we're hearing from the

9
00:00:35.280 --> 00:00:40.000
<v Speaker 2>State Supreme Judicial Court for the very first time. Wdbz's

10
00:00:40.039 --> 00:00:42.840
<v Speaker 2>Brooke McCarthy has been on this story from day one.

11
00:00:42.880 --> 00:00:45.520
<v Speaker 2>She joins me now live with more Brook Laurie.

12
00:00:45.520 --> 00:00:48.520
<v Speaker 3>The state's highest court has agreed to review the Karen

13
00:00:48.560 --> 00:00:51.359
<v Speaker 3>Reid case. This comes after lawyers for Red filed an

14
00:00:51.359 --> 00:00:54.119
<v Speaker 3>appeal last week to get two of the three charges

15
00:00:54.200 --> 00:00:57.600
<v Speaker 3>against her dismiss In this new court filing, Supreme Court

16
00:00:57.759 --> 00:01:00.719
<v Speaker 3>Justice Elizabeth Dewart did not make a decision on the matter,

17
00:01:00.759 --> 00:01:04.040
<v Speaker 3>but said the full panel will hear arguments on the appeal.

18
00:01:04.359 --> 00:01:07.040
<v Speaker 3>It's important to note here that the judge did have

19
00:01:07.079 --> 00:01:10.159
<v Speaker 3>the power to dismiss this entirely. The court has outlined

20
00:01:10.200 --> 00:01:12.640
<v Speaker 3>some important dates in the matter. There's a series of

21
00:01:12.680 --> 00:01:16.280
<v Speaker 3>deadlines for the defense and prosecution to file briefs over

22
00:01:16.319 --> 00:01:18.920
<v Speaker 3>the next month. In oral arguments could be held as

23
00:01:18.959 --> 00:01:22.159
<v Speaker 3>early as November. Lawyers for Reid are looking to get

24
00:01:22.159 --> 00:01:25.120
<v Speaker 3>the charges of leaving the scene and secondary murder dismissed

25
00:01:25.480 --> 00:01:28.680
<v Speaker 3>on the grounds of double jeopardy. Now, Judge Beverly Canoni

26
00:01:28.760 --> 00:01:31.400
<v Speaker 3>ruled in the lower court hearing that this didn't amount

27
00:01:31.439 --> 00:01:33.879
<v Speaker 3>to that, but both sides confirmed that they heard from

28
00:01:34.000 --> 00:01:37.239
<v Speaker 3>jurors saying they were unanimous on those two charges. As

29
00:01:37.280 --> 00:01:40.000
<v Speaker 3>of right now, Reid will face a second trial on

30
00:01:40.079 --> 00:01:42.799
<v Speaker 3>all three charges in January of next year, but this

31
00:01:42.920 --> 00:01:45.640
<v Speaker 3>Supreme Court case could impact that loriie.

32
00:01:45.400 --> 00:01:49.120
<v Speaker 2>Aptly time, as you said, Brook, November, So that gives

33
00:01:49.159 --> 00:01:52.120
<v Speaker 2>that judge discretion to make a decision before that trial

34
00:01:52.200 --> 00:01:56.000
<v Speaker 2>presumably gets underway or does not. All right, and we

35
00:01:56.079 --> 00:01:58.599
<v Speaker 2>are your breaking news station. You know that by now,

36
00:01:58.920 --> 00:02:01.799
<v Speaker 2>But again we're streaming on the iHeartRadio app all of

37
00:02:01.840 --> 00:02:04.920
<v Speaker 2>these breaking news stories, Brook McCarthy, thank you so much

38
00:02:05.040 --> 00:02:07.920
<v Speaker 2>updating this story out of the Middle East, Israel and

39
00:02:08.000 --> 00:02:11.439
<v Speaker 2>Hesbelah trade cross borders, strikes and yet another day of

40
00:02:11.560 --> 00:02:15.599
<v Speaker 2>escalating violence in Israeli attack Rock Bay Route today right

41
00:02:15.639 --> 00:02:19.960
<v Speaker 2>after Hesbela rockets pounded targets in northern Israel. Israel now

42
00:02:20.039 --> 00:02:23.000
<v Speaker 2>says its strike was meant to take out the top

43
00:02:23.039 --> 00:02:26.039
<v Speaker 2>Hesbela leader and it's just the latest day of violence.

44
00:02:26.039 --> 00:02:30.800
<v Speaker 2>After dozens were killed and thousands wounded after pagers and

45
00:02:30.879 --> 00:02:34.800
<v Speaker 2>walkie talkies detonated they were being carried by members of

46
00:02:34.840 --> 00:02:38.560
<v Speaker 2>Hesbelah in Lebanon. Here's ABC's Martha Radits.

47
00:02:38.400 --> 00:02:41.960
<v Speaker 1>Learning Israel began planning for a supply chain attack like

48
00:02:42.080 --> 00:02:46.680
<v Speaker 1>this fifteen years ago. An intelligence source confirms to ABC

49
00:02:46.800 --> 00:02:51.680
<v Speaker 1>News that Israel created shell companies to manufacture and eventually

50
00:02:51.759 --> 00:02:55.360
<v Speaker 1>sell the pagers to Hesbela. The source confirming that one

51
00:02:55.400 --> 00:02:59.120
<v Speaker 1>to two ounces of explosives were planted in the pagers

52
00:02:59.319 --> 00:03:02.759
<v Speaker 1>with a remote trigger switch to set off the blasts.

53

<v Speaker 2>Has Below's leaders vowed retaliation for what he's calling an

54
00:03:07.319 --> 00:03:11.479
<v Speaker 2>active war on the part of Israel. While speaking at

55
00:03:11.479 --> 00:03:15.520
<v Speaker 2>a gathering in Washington, former President Trump makes comments that

56
00:03:15.599 --> 00:03:18.120
<v Speaker 2>might prove a step backward in his attempt to drum

57
00:03:18.199 --> 00:03:22.120
<v Speaker 2>up support from Jewish voters. Here's ABC Stephen port nois, the.

58
00:03:22.199 --> 00:03:26.360
<v Speaker 4>Former president vowed to stand against anti Semitism on college campuses.

59
00:03:26.560 --> 00:03:29.520
<v Speaker 4>I will be your defender, your protector. But he also

60
00:03:29.680 --> 00:03:32.680
<v Speaker 4>repeated the anti Semitic trope that American Jews have a

61
00:03:32.759 --> 00:03:35.800
<v Speaker 4>dual loyalty to Israel, and he said Israel has to

62
00:03:35.840 --> 00:03:37.039
<v Speaker 4>defeat Kamala.

63
00:03:36.680 --> 00:03:39.719
<v Speaker 5>Harris Iziel, I believe has to defeat her.

64
00:03:39.879 --> 00:03:43.560
<v Speaker 4>Trump expressed disappointment that Jews haven't supported him in greater numbers.

65
00:03:43.680 --> 00:03:46.120
<v Speaker 4>He said Jews would share the blame if he loses

66
00:03:46.159 --> 00:03:49.240
<v Speaker 4>in November. The Jewish people would have a lot to

67
00:03:49.280 --> 00:03:53.120
<v Speaker 4>do with the loss. Stephen Portnoy, ABC News Washington coming.

<v Speaker 2>of you are sad about summer leaving us. And leaving

78
00:04:23.680 --> 00:04:27.600
<v Speaker 2>us like this. We have rain and steady rain, heavy

79
00:04:27.680 --> 00:04:29.600
<v Speaker 2>rain for the Cape and islands, and you know it's

80
00:04:29.600 --> 00:04:33.040
<v Speaker 2>so sticky. The icky stickies are back tonight low fifty

81
00:04:33.120 --> 00:04:36.519
<v Speaker 2>six to sixty tomorrow mostly clytie, breezy, couple of showers,

82
00:04:36.639 --> 00:04:38.680
<v Speaker 2>especially on the Cape and the Islands. But just keep

83
00:04:38.720 --> 00:04:42.160
<v Speaker 2>in mind we are so dry out there. Well, the

84
00:04:42.240 --> 00:04:46.279
<v Speaker 2>dry is our lawns, our height ranges, our plants and

85
00:04:46.360 --> 00:04:49.800
<v Speaker 2>everything is just really really in need of some raine.

86
00:04:49.879 --> 00:04:52.720
<v Speaker 2>So that's the upside of this weather. Let's go to

87
00:04:52.720 --> 00:04:55.879
<v Speaker 2>the fair, the tops Field Fair. People purchasing tickets for

88
00:04:55.920 --> 00:04:59.160
<v Speaker 2>the tops Field Fair, which is a great take, say

89
00:04:59.199 --> 00:05:02.519
<v Speaker 2>they're being scared a hundreds of dollars in a buying

90
00:05:02.839 --> 00:05:07.160
<v Speaker 2>more tickets that simply don't exist. WBZTV's Brandon true It

91
00:05:07.279 --> 00:05:10.720
<v Speaker 2>spoke with a fairs GM James O'Brien about it.

92
00:05:10.600 --> 00:05:15.399
<v Speaker 6>And I was extremely disappointed because I feel that our patrons,

93
00:05:15.439 --> 00:05:17.480
<v Speaker 6>you know, work had for their money. I don't want

94
00:05:17.480 --> 00:05:20.480
<v Speaker 6>anybody to be cheated. We're all about value right now.

95
00:05:20.560 --> 00:05:23.680
<v Speaker 6>Was selling fifteen dollar Prefia tickets instead.

96
00:05:23.879 --> 00:05:26.279
<v Speaker 5>The website you should be looking for at the fair's

97
00:05:26.360 --> 00:05:30.639
<v Speaker 5>main homepage at Topsviillfare. Dot Org O'Brien is clear that

98
00:05:30.720 --> 00:05:33.600
<v Speaker 5>the fair does not sell tickets on the secondary market,

99
00:05:34.000 --> 00:05:37.360
<v Speaker 5>and tickets should only cost you fifteen dollars in advance

100
00:05:37.480 --> 00:05:39.000
<v Speaker 5>and twenty dollars day of.

101
00:05:39.360 --> 00:05:42.360
<v Speaker 6>Where a New England fear been here for two hundred

102
00:05:42.360 --> 00:05:45.399
<v Speaker 6>and six years, that's a lot of reputation that we

103
00:05:45.480 --> 00:05:48.040
<v Speaker 6>certainly wouldn't want to be tarnished over something like this.

104
00:05:48.360 --> 00:05:52.800
<v Speaker 2>The Topsfield Fair opens in about two weeks on October fourth,

105
00:05:53.360 --> 00:05:55.439
<v Speaker 2>which I'm really glad. When I was doing that story,

106
00:05:55.439 --> 00:05:58.279
<v Speaker 2>I said, ooh, when does that open, because that's a

107
00:05:58.279 --> 00:06:00.680
<v Speaker 2>fun fear to go to. I hope you have nice

108
00:06:00.680 --> 00:06:04.199
<v Speaker 2>weather all right for that event. And Brookline Police here

109
00:06:04.240 --> 00:06:06.839
<v Speaker 2>it is everybody, and this is not just Brookline in

110
00:06:06.839 --> 00:06:10.639
<v Speaker 2>this particular case. We're focusing on this scam and Brookline,

111
00:06:10.839 --> 00:06:13.800
<v Speaker 2>but we've done so many stories that are similar, so

112
00:06:13.959 --> 00:06:18.240
<v Speaker 2>listen up. Brookline Police are warning about scammers pretending to

113
00:06:18.279 --> 00:06:21.920
<v Speaker 2>be officers from their department. Now at least one fraudster

114
00:06:22.199 --> 00:06:26.000
<v Speaker 2>fraud Stir is calling around and threatening unsuspecting victims with

115
00:06:26.160 --> 00:06:28.759
<v Speaker 2>jail time if they don't send money in the form

116
00:06:28.800 --> 00:06:34.199
<v Speaker 2>of cryptocurrency crypto. So the scammer even changes their caller ID,

117
00:06:34.959 --> 00:06:37.879
<v Speaker 2>so what looks like the call is originating from that

118
00:06:37.959 --> 00:06:41.160
<v Speaker 2>Brookline Police department. They are so clever now thanks to

119
00:06:41.680 --> 00:06:45.680
<v Speaker 2>new tech. Please say, real officers would never make a

120
00:06:45.680 --> 00:06:48.000
<v Speaker 2>call like this, They just wouldn't do it. And the

121
00:06:48.040 --> 00:06:51.800
<v Speaker 2>whole thing is a really good reminder to never give

122
00:06:51.839 --> 00:06:54.759
<v Speaker 2>out your personal information over the phone period, and you

123
00:06:54.839 --> 00:06:57.360
<v Speaker 2>might want to mail that money directly to the department.

124
00:06:57.600 --> 00:07:00.399
<v Speaker 2>You are now in the loop. For news up dates

125
