00:00:11.759 --> 00:00:15.960
<v Speaker 2>Wendy chillis Sonny, It's only twenty three degrees in downtown Boston.

<v Speaker 2>Eleven o'clock this Tuesday morning, Good Morning on Laurie Kirby.

4
00:00:20.359 --> 00:00:23.719
<v Speaker 2>Karen Read is back in Norfolk Superior Court in debt,

5
00:00:23.719 --> 00:00:26.519
<v Speaker 2>a month before her second murder trial is set to begin,

6
00:00:26.640 --> 00:00:30.199
<v Speaker 2>and Judge Beverly Cononi is considering whether or not to

7
00:00:30.280 --> 00:00:35.600
<v Speaker 2>allow testimony from defense witness doctor Marie Russell in April's retrial.

8
00:00:36.200 --> 00:00:41.039
<v Speaker 2>Doctor Russell argues that former Boston police officer John O'Keefe

9
00:00:41.079 --> 00:00:44.320
<v Speaker 2>was attacked by a dog and not hit by Reed's SUV,

10
00:00:44.960 --> 00:00:48.359
<v Speaker 2>but the prosecution argues she's not qualified to make that call.

11
00:00:48.600 --> 00:00:50.960
<v Speaker 3>You've never gone into court and testified as an accident

12
00:00:51.000 --> 00:00:53.960
<v Speaker 3>reconstruction expert, a reconstruction expert.

13
00:00:54.079 --> 00:00:57.640
<v Speaker 2>No, but I've testified about vehicle accidents.

14
00:00:57.679 --> 00:00:59.600
<v Speaker 3>You've never gone to court and testified as a dog

15
00:00:59.640 --> 00:01:03.439
<v Speaker 3>by before this case. Yes, I was never asked.

16
00:01:03.759 --> 00:01:06.519
<v Speaker 2>Read is charged with running over O'Keefe with her SUV

17
00:01:06.640 --> 00:01:09.719
<v Speaker 2>in leaving him to die in the snow after their

18
00:01:09.840 --> 00:01:13.519
<v Speaker 2>romantic relationship had soured. Now her first murder trial ended

19
00:01:13.560 --> 00:01:16.920
<v Speaker 2>in a mistrial. We are your breaking news station. When

20
00:01:17.000 --> 00:01:19.920
<v Speaker 2>we have any kind of update on this story, we'll

21
00:01:19.920 --> 00:01:21.840
<v Speaker 2>bring it to you here and of course streaming on

22
00:01:21.920 --> 00:01:27.359
<v Speaker 2>the iHeartRadio app. Prison elect Donald Trump's legal team is

23
00:01:27.439 --> 00:01:30.760
<v Speaker 2>trying to stop the release of the Special Council Report

24
00:01:31.159 --> 00:01:36.040
<v Speaker 2>into the election interference and classified documents cases ABC Stephen

25
00:01:36.120 --> 00:01:37.239
<v Speaker 2>Portnoy report.

26
00:01:37.359 --> 00:01:40.480
<v Speaker 3>Donald Trump's defense lawyers, also now his nominees to hold

27
00:01:40.480 --> 00:01:43.280
<v Speaker 3>major posts in the Justice Department, say they've reviewed a

28
00:01:43.359 --> 00:01:46.000
<v Speaker 3>draft of Jack Smith's final report at his office here

29
00:01:46.000 --> 00:01:48.959
<v Speaker 3>in Washington. They call it one sided, and they say

30
00:01:49.000 --> 00:01:51.239
<v Speaker 3>releasing it to the public would harm the transition and

31
00:01:51.359 --> 00:01:55.040
<v Speaker 3>damage the Justice Department's reputation. They're urging Attorney General Merrick

32
00:01:55.079 --> 00:01:57.920
<v Speaker 3>Garland to keep it confidential. Trump's co defendants and the

33
00:01:57.920 --> 00:02:01.719
<v Speaker 3>Classified Documents case want Judge Ailean Cannon to order it blocked.

34
00:02:02.000 --> 00:02:05.040
<v Speaker 3>In a court filing, Jacksmith confirms his two volume report

35
00:02:05.359 --> 00:02:06.439
<v Speaker 3>is nearly done.

36
00:02:06.680 --> 00:02:09.800
<v Speaker 2>Smith writes in his briefing that if Garland does release

37
00:02:09.879 --> 00:02:12.719
<v Speaker 2>that report, it would be no earlier than ten am

38
00:02:12.800 --> 00:02:16.680
<v Speaker 2>on Friday. The late former president Jimmy Carter is en

39
00:02:16.800 --> 00:02:20.319
<v Speaker 2>route to Washington, d C. After lying in repose for

40
00:02:20.400 --> 00:02:24.280
<v Speaker 2>three days in Atlanta, Georgia. Mister Carter's casket is flying

41
00:02:24.280 --> 00:02:27.199
<v Speaker 2>to Joint Base Andrews in Maryland, where it will land

42
00:02:27.240 --> 00:02:29.840
<v Speaker 2>this afternoon and then be taken to the US Navy

43
00:02:29.919 --> 00:02:34.879
<v Speaker 2>Memorial in recognition of his military service. After that, a

44
00:02:34.960 --> 00:02:38.400
<v Speaker 2>horse drawn carriage will carry mister Carter's casket to the

45
00:02:38.479 --> 00:02:42.439
<v Speaker 2>US Capitol, where lawmakers will pay their final respects at

46
00:02:42.479 --> 00:02:45.680
<v Speaker 2>three o'clock. Will be a special service. We'll love more

47
00:02:46.000 --> 00:02:49.120
<v Speaker 2>and ABC Steve Osensambia is more on the rest of

48
00:02:49.159 --> 00:02:49.520
<v Speaker 2>the week.

49
00:02:49.719 --> 00:02:53.000
<v Speaker 1>The state funeral is Thursday, where President Biden will deliver

50
00:02:53.120 --> 00:02:55.960
<v Speaker 1>a eulogy and we expect every living president to be

51
00:02:56.000 --> 00:02:59.319
<v Speaker 1>in attendance. Then he'll be flown home for private burial

52
00:02:59.520 --> 00:03:02.840
<v Speaker 1>at his home. For family that has had to share

53
00:03:02.919 --> 00:03:05.240
<v Speaker 1>him with the rest of the world for so long,

54
00:03:05.319 --> 00:03:08.319
<v Speaker 1>this will be a moment that they have to themselves.

55
00:03:08.560 --> 00:03:11.639
<v Speaker 1>He will be buried outside his home in a spot

56
00:03:11.719 --> 00:03:14.759
<v Speaker 1>that he picked out with his wife before she died.

57
00:03:15.120 --> 00:03:19.400
<v Speaker 2>The Navy will conduct a ceremonial flyover over mister Carter's

58
00:03:19.400 --> 00:03:22.360
<v Speaker 2>home before his interment, just one more tribute to his

59
00:03:22.439 --> 00:03:26.080
<v Speaker 2>service as a lieutenant and commander in chief. Clouding up

60
00:03:26.120 --> 00:03:28.319
<v Speaker 2>a little bit out there, and I was seeing some

61
00:03:28.479 --> 00:03:32.439
<v Speaker 2>snow flurries. I would say the western part of Central

62
00:03:32.479 --> 00:03:35.000
<v Speaker 2>Mass right now we are seeing some snow. We're seeing

63
00:03:35.039 --> 00:03:40.599
<v Speaker 2>some snow also in Vermont. So no snow in Boston,

64
00:03:40.759 --> 00:03:44.400
<v Speaker 2>but certainly the wind is a continuing challenge. It's been

65
00:03:44.479 --> 00:03:48.319
<v Speaker 2>impacting flights as well. Checking Flaware right now we have

66
00:03:48.479 --> 00:03:52.319
<v Speaker 2>seventy one total delays, twenty seven cancelations. And again we

67
00:03:52.360 --> 00:03:55.639
<v Speaker 2>saw a bunch of snow in the Baltimore area, in Washington,

68
00:03:55.719 --> 00:04:00.240
<v Speaker 2>DC area as well. Tonight's going to be incredibly cold,

69
00:04:00.280 --> 00:04:04.759
<v Speaker 2>the real feel well below zero. And then Tomorrow Wednesday,

70
00:04:05.159 --> 00:04:08.560
<v Speaker 2>just like today, windy and sunny and cole Thursday, we

71
00:04:08.759 --> 00:04:11.599
<v Speaker 2>start to warm up slightly, but we're still not even

72
00:04:11.680 --> 00:04:16.199
<v Speaker 2>freezing yet. Friday thirty seven, that's our warmest day, you

73
00:04:16.240 --> 00:04:19.279
<v Speaker 2>can imagine, and then we're tracking the potential storm for

74
00:04:19.360 --> 00:04:23.639
<v Speaker 2>this weekend that could bring some snow. It's eleven oh five.

75
00:04:24.519 --> 00:04:28.360
<v Speaker 2>We get this every year, traffic reports about Boston and

76
00:04:28.439 --> 00:04:31.160
<v Speaker 2>you probably are saying it's got to be bad. Well,

77
00:04:31.199 --> 00:04:35.160
<v Speaker 2>you're right, wdbc's Drew Mholland with this year's survey.

78
00:04:34.920 --> 00:04:37.120
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, it's still top ten kind of bad. An annual

79
00:04:37.199 --> 00:04:40.680
<v Speaker 4>survey from traffic monitoring company Inrix finds Boston has the

80
00:04:40.759 --> 00:04:42.680
<v Speaker 4>fourth worst traffic in the nation.

81
00:04:42.839 --> 00:04:47.079
<v Speaker 3>Good Dade d pretty good.

82
00:04:47.120 --> 00:04:49.240
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I guess how you look at it, Larry David Right.

83
00:04:49.279 --> 00:04:52.199
<v Speaker 4>Boston now trails New York City, Chicago, and LA with

84
00:04:52.279 --> 00:04:54.959
<v Speaker 4>the longest waits on the road. Boston was number one

85
00:04:55.279 --> 00:04:58.319
<v Speaker 4>as the traffic worst not long ago. We now falled

86
00:04:58.319 --> 00:05:01.040
<v Speaker 4>a twelfth worst in the world as well. Boston drivers

87
00:05:01.079 --> 00:05:04.319
<v Speaker 4>lose about eighty hours of life stuck in traffic per year.

88
00:05:04.519 --> 00:05:07.680
<v Speaker 4>To put that in perspective, that's more than three entire days.

89
00:05:07.720 --> 00:05:08.360
<v Speaker 4>You do the math.

90
00:05:08.439 --> 00:05:10.000
<v Speaker 3>I think I'm just going to turn around and go home,

91
00:05:10.120 --> 00:05:12.319
<v Speaker 3>so you'll be a little late. Yeah, I can't sit

92
00:05:12.360 --> 00:05:13.759
<v Speaker 3>in traffic. I'm going to turn around.

93
00:05:14.319 --> 00:05:16.600
<v Speaker 4>Well, I listen to the radio. I don't know some music.

94
00:05:16.680 --> 00:05:19.680
<v Speaker 4>Some people enjoy their time in traffic. Right, No, not

95
00:05:19.800 --> 00:05:22.759
<v Speaker 4>so much, drumaholland WBZ, Boston's news radio.

96
00:05:23.120 --> 00:05:28.480
<v Speaker 2>Massachusetts consumers were cheated by not one, but three United

97
00:05:28.519 --> 00:05:32.920
<v Speaker 2>healthcare insurance companies the Cord Rule. They use deceptive sales

98
00:05:32.959 --> 00:05:37.920
<v Speaker 2>schemes into tricking local consumers into buying supplemental health insurance.

99
00:05:38.319 --> 00:05:42.120
<v Speaker 2>Attorney General Campbell announcing her office is ordered Health Markets,

100
00:05:42.439 --> 00:05:47.079
<v Speaker 2>the Chesapeake Life Insurance Company, and Insphere Insurance Solutions to

101
00:05:47.120 --> 00:05:51.079
<v Speaker 2>pay one hundred and sixty five million in restitution. Campbell

102
00:05:51.160 --> 00:05:57.920
<v Speaker 2>says for years they prayed upon financially vulnerable people. Prosecutors

103
00:05:57.959 --> 00:06:01.240
<v Speaker 2>in the deadly shooting of the CEO of United Healthcare

104
00:06:01.680 --> 00:06:04.000
<v Speaker 2>ask for more time to prepare their case.

105
00:06:04.399 --> 00:06:07.800
<v Speaker 5>Wish granted in in order of continuance, The defense team

106
00:06:07.839 --> 00:06:11.680

107
00:06:11.720 --> 00:06:14.839
<v Speaker 5>court proceedings to the middle of next month. This gives

108
00:06:14.879 --> 00:06:17.480
<v Speaker 5>both sides an extra thirty days to prepare for pre

109
00:06:17.560 --> 00:06:21.480
<v Speaker 5>trial proceedings and the trial itself. Mangioni has pled not

110
00:06:21.600 --> 00:06:25.680
<v Speaker 5>guilty to several state charges, including murder and furtherance of terrorism,

111
