00:00:26.039 --> 00:00:28.839
<v Speaker 2>we've got another brisk morning out there. In fact, this

7
00:00:28.960 --> 00:00:31.600
<v Speaker 2>morning a lot colder than it was yesterday. Chilly out

8
00:00:31.640 --> 00:00:33.920
<v Speaker 2>the front door, and don't be surprised if you need

00:00:33.920 --> 00:00:34.960
<v Speaker 2>that tofroster either.

10
00:00:35.039 --> 00:00:37.359
<v Speaker 1>A good deal of sunshine today but remaining cool.

11
00:00:37.359 --> 00:00:40.520
<v Speaker 2>A warming friends starts tomorrow. That is WBZ ACU weather

12

<v Speaker 2>meteorologist Joe Lundberg. Much of our listening audience waking up

13
00:00:44.159 --> 00:00:46.799
<v Speaker 2>in the thirties this morning. We're back to sunshine in

14
00:00:46.799 --> 00:00:50.960
<v Speaker 2>the fifties today, into the sixties, possibly seventy by Saturday.

15
00:00:51.000 --> 00:00:53.880
<v Speaker 2>We're to the sixties tomorrow meantime at six to oh one,

16
00:00:54.119 --> 00:00:56.799
<v Speaker 2>Karen Reid is getting the backing of a major civil

17
00:00:56.880 --> 00:00:59.479
<v Speaker 2>rights group and they're getting involved in her appeal to

18
00:00:59.479 --> 00:01:01.600
<v Speaker 2>the state's High Court before her retrial.

19
00:01:01.719 --> 00:01:04.719
<v Speaker 3>The ACLU has filed an amicus brief with the SJC.

20
00:01:04.879 --> 00:01:07.680
<v Speaker 3>In the case of Karen Reid, they argue the constitution

21
00:01:07.799 --> 00:01:10.840
<v Speaker 3>protects a person from being retried a second time on

22
00:01:10.920 --> 00:01:14.239
<v Speaker 3>the scene charges. After a mistrial was declared over the summer,

23
00:01:14.319 --> 00:01:17.319
<v Speaker 3>jurors reached out to both the prosecution and offense, saying

24
00:01:17.359 --> 00:01:19.840
<v Speaker 3>they were unanimous to acquit her on leaving the scene

25
00:01:19.879 --> 00:01:22.959
<v Speaker 3>and second degree murder, but were hung on manslaughter. Her

26
00:01:23.040 --> 00:01:25.319
<v Speaker 3>legal team is appealing with the state's highest court to

27
00:01:25.319 --> 00:01:28.400
<v Speaker 3>get those who charges dismiss on the grounds of double jeopardy,

28
00:01:28.439 --> 00:01:31.439
<v Speaker 3>which the ACLU sites in their filing. They also say

29
00:01:31.560 --> 00:01:34.200
<v Speaker 3>Judge Beverly Canoni should have pulled the jury before the

30
00:01:34.239 --> 00:01:36.959
<v Speaker 3>mistrial was declared, but since that was not the case,

31
00:01:37.000 --> 00:01:39.680
<v Speaker 3>the ACL used as a post verdictearing needs to happen

32
00:01:39.719 --> 00:01:42.439
<v Speaker 3>to see if the jury was unanimous on charges. One

33
00:01:42.439 --> 00:01:45.799
<v Speaker 3>in three oral arguments are set for November six. Burke

<v Speaker 2>we are certainly very cool this morning. In fact, we

76
00:03:41.879 --> 00:03:45.439
<v Speaker 2>are below freezing. If you're listening from the Merrimack Valley,

77
00:03:45.759 --> 00:03:48.120
<v Speaker 2>different parts of the North Shore, its like it looks

78
00:03:48.159 --> 00:03:52.360
<v Speaker 2>like the Cellshore were spared from the under freezing temperatures.

79
00:03:52.439 --> 00:03:55.000
<v Speaker 2>But we're at twenty nine right now in bill Ricca.

80
00:03:55.319 --> 00:03:57.719
<v Speaker 2>In points west you're under the freezing mark as well,

82
00:04:01.759 --> 00:04:04.479
<v Speaker 2>that is absolutely a reality this morning. Now as we

84
00:04:06.879 --> 00:04:10.000
<v Speaker 2>with plenty of sunshine. Tonight pretty chilly once again, but

85
00:04:10.039 --> 00:04:12.000
<v Speaker 2>we do have a warm up in store. It begins

86
00:04:12.039 --> 00:04:14.680
<v Speaker 2>tomorrow as we'll be back into the mid sixties, and

87
00:04:14.680 --> 00:04:18.920
<v Speaker 2>then by Saturday, we're up around seventy degrees Sunday into

88
00:04:18.959 --> 00:04:21.959

89
00:04:22.000 --> 00:04:24.639
<v Speaker 2>all the way through the weekend. So we're looking outstanding

90
00:04:24.680 --> 00:04:28.319
<v Speaker 2>as we head towards middle of October, heading towards late October.

91
00:04:28.360 --> 00:04:31.120

98
00:04:53.160 --> 00:04:55.560
<v Speaker 3>I can't explain how often right now I'm shaking.

99
00:04:55.959 --> 00:04:56.959
<v Speaker 6>I'm really nervous.

100
00:04:57.279 --> 00:04:59.240
<v Speaker 1>I can't believe to what's happened going on.

101
00:04:59.439 --> 00:05:03.120
<v Speaker 4>Pain was a Argentina after attending a former bandmate's concert.

102

<v Speaker 4>Authorities say he jumped from his third floor balcony. Police

103
00:05:07.079 --> 00:05:09.600
<v Speaker 4>had responded to the hotel for reports of a man

104
00:05:09.639 --> 00:05:13.240
<v Speaker 4>acting erradically. His body later found in the courtyard.

105

<v Speaker 2>thirty one years old. Let's six oh seven. The video

107
00:05:21.439 --> 00:05:25.120
<v Speaker 2>quickly went viral online. This week Patriots defensive tackle Christian

108
00:05:25.160 --> 00:05:28.519
<v Speaker 2>Barmore and an altercation with police after being pulled over

109
00:05:28.560 --> 00:05:31.120
<v Speaker 2>for a traffic stop with tinted windows in Rhode Island.

110
00:05:31.439 --> 00:05:35.160
<v Speaker 2>Barmore took the social media with accusations of racism. Now

111
00:05:35.199 --> 00:05:37.800
<v Speaker 2>the police union in Rhode Island is looking for an apology.

112
00:05:37.879 --> 00:05:40.759
<v Speaker 8>Providence Police put out a statement saying the officer acted

113
00:05:40.759 --> 00:05:45.279
<v Speaker 8>in full compliance with department protocols and state regulations. The

114
00:05:45.360 --> 00:05:49.319
<v Speaker 8>department added, if there are any concerns or questions about

115
00:05:49.319 --> 00:05:52.519
<v Speaker 8>this incident, we encourage mister Barmore to reach out to

116
00:05:52.560 --> 00:05:55.439
<v Speaker 8>the Providence Police Department so we can address them in

117
00:05:55.480 --> 00:05:59.959
<v Speaker 8>a constructive manner. Barmore deleted a social media post about race.

118
00:06:00.519 --> 00:06:04.480
<v Speaker 8>At its finest, The Patriots' only comment came from coach

119
00:06:04.519 --> 00:06:05.120
<v Speaker 8>to Ron Male.

120
00:06:05.399 --> 00:06:07.600
<v Speaker 1>We're ware the situation. I had a conversation with him

121
00:06:07.600 --> 00:06:10.480
<v Speaker 1>this morning but you know, like I said, at least

122
00:06:10.480 --> 00:06:12.480
<v Speaker 1>for this time here with you guys, I just want

123
00:06:12.480 --> 00:06:14.000
<v Speaker 1>to kind of focus on Jacksonville.

124
00:06:14.040 --> 00:06:16.639
<v Speaker 4>Barmore was cited for traffic violations.

125
00:06:16.680 --> 00:06:19.480
<v Speaker 8>The police report did say they found what appeared to

126
00:06:19.519 --> 00:06:23.000
<v Speaker 8>be a blunt inside an ash cup, along with vials

127
00:06:23.079 --> 00:06:24.560
<v Speaker 8>of what looked like marijuana.

128
00:06:24.800 --> 00:06:28.560
<v Speaker 2>Wdbztv's Julie McDonald's reporting Barmore is out for the season

129
00:06:28.879 --> 00:06:33.079
<v Speaker 2>after getting diagnosed with blood clots back in July, and

130
00:06:33.160 --> 00:06:35.360
<v Speaker 2>it was supposed to be their brand new marketing campaign,

131
00:06:35.439 --> 00:06:37.560
<v Speaker 2>but it is over just as quickly as it started.

132
00:06:37.600 --> 00:06:40.600
<v Speaker 2>The National Women's Soccer League's new team in Boston saying

133
00:06:40.600 --> 00:06:45.000
<v Speaker 2>they're sorry for its too Many Balls ad campaign. Some

134
00:06:45.079 --> 00:06:48.199
<v Speaker 2>of the transgender community called it transphobic, while other women's

135
00:06:48.199 --> 00:06:51.879
<v Speaker 2>sports teams in Boston felt didn't recognize their existence. In

136
00:06:51.920 --> 00:06:54.160
<v Speaker 2>a statement on social media, the team wrote, we fully

137
00:06:54.160 --> 00:06:57.199
<v Speaker 2>acknowledged that the content of the campaign did not reflect

138
00:06:57.199 --> 00:07:00.360
<v Speaker 2>the safe and welcoming environment that we strive to create

139
00:07:00.439 --> 00:07:02.639
<v Speaker 2>for all. You are now in the loop for news
