<v Speaker 1>This is w b Z, Boston's news radio, redefining local

2
00:00:05.679 --> 00:00:12.359
<v Speaker 1>news forty one degrees in Boston at four o'clock, Good

3
00:00:12.400 --> 00:00:16.160
<v Speaker 1>afternoon on Ben Parker, Here's what's happening. Testimony's done for

4
00:00:16.199 --> 00:00:18.760
<v Speaker 1>the day in Norfolk Superior Court. There was testimonies to

5
00:00:18.839 --> 00:00:21.079
<v Speaker 1>day on whether or not a dog bite expert would

6
00:00:21.120 --> 00:00:24.440
<v Speaker 1>be able to testify during Karen Reid's second criminal trial

7
00:00:24.480 --> 00:00:27.800
<v Speaker 1>that thevc's book McCarthy has been following things and brings

8
00:00:27.879 --> 00:00:28.640
<v Speaker 1>us the latest book.

9
00:00:28.920 --> 00:00:29.120
<v Speaker 2>Ben.

10
00:00:29.160 --> 00:00:32.479
<v Speaker 3>The prosecution got there termed their turn to question doctor

11
00:00:32.520 --> 00:00:35.560
<v Speaker 3>Marie Russell, a dog bite expert for the defense. She's

12
00:00:35.600 --> 00:00:39.119
<v Speaker 3>testified during Karen Reid's first trial saying she believes John

13
00:00:39.159 --> 00:00:41.799
<v Speaker 3>O'Keefe was attacked by a dog and not hit by

14
00:00:41.840 --> 00:00:45.119
<v Speaker 3>Reid's SUV. The prosecution filed the motion to try and

15
00:00:45.200 --> 00:00:48.159
<v Speaker 3>block doctor Russell from testifying in the second trial, saying

16
00:00:48.240 --> 00:00:51.520
<v Speaker 3>she's not qualified. At the hearing, Russell talked about her

17
00:00:51.560 --> 00:00:54.640
<v Speaker 3>decades of experience treating dozens of people with dog bites

18
00:00:54.640 --> 00:00:58.320
<v Speaker 3>and testifying in courts around the country. The prosecution says

19
00:00:58.359 --> 00:01:00.479
<v Speaker 3>read hit o'keeff with her SUV and left him in

20
00:01:00.520 --> 00:01:02.840
<v Speaker 3>the snow to die. Well the defense has a dog

21
00:01:03.119 --> 00:01:05.840
<v Speaker 3>at the house, attacked him and she's being framed for

22
00:01:05.920 --> 00:01:09.560
<v Speaker 3>his death. Special Prosecutor Hank Brennan questioned Russell on her

23
00:01:09.599 --> 00:01:11.000
<v Speaker 3>experience today.

24
00:01:11.159 --> 00:01:14.640
<v Speaker 4>What if you can't identify the animal, then then you

25
00:01:14.719 --> 00:01:18.640
<v Speaker 4>have to go on clinical judgment and sometimes we even

26
00:01:18.680 --> 00:01:21.760
<v Speaker 4>have to call up the word to health, but you

27
00:01:21.799 --> 00:01:25.439
<v Speaker 4>go on clinical judgment to determine, well, what was the

28
00:01:25.480 --> 00:01:27.040
<v Speaker 4>worst possibility.

29
00:01:27.439 --> 00:01:30.079
<v Speaker 3>Now, after a full day of testimony, they didn't finish,

30
00:01:30.200 --> 00:01:33.760
<v Speaker 3>so they're scheduling testimony for a later date in Judge

31
00:01:33.760 --> 00:01:36.599
<v Speaker 3>Beverly Canoni approved Emotion earlier this week to move the

32
00:01:36.640 --> 00:01:39.560
<v Speaker 3>second trial from January to April, and they still need

33
00:01:39.560 --> 00:01:41.719
<v Speaker 3>to go over scheduling for the second trial. They didn't

34
00:01:41.719 --> 00:01:42.439
<v Speaker 3>get to that today.

35
00:01:42.480 --> 00:01:44.920
<v Speaker 1>Ben I had lots of things to still unpack here,

36
00:01:44.959 --> 00:01:47.280
<v Speaker 1>and we'll keep following the developments for you in the

37
00:01:47.359 --> 00:01:49.400
<v Speaker 1>Karen Read case and bring them to you. Don't forget

38
00:01:49.400 --> 00:01:52.200
<v Speaker 1>we're always streaming for you on the iHeartRadio app. It

39
00:01:52.319 --> 00:01:55.200
<v Speaker 1>was a mess today coming into Boston on the Expressway

40
00:01:55.560 --> 00:01:58.480
<v Speaker 1>after a stolen car crashed. Now a couple of teenage

41
00:01:58.480 --> 00:02:01.480
<v Speaker 1>boys are facing a host of child just after police

42
00:02:01.519 --> 00:02:05.280
<v Speaker 1>say they crashed that stolen BMW. It was just after

43
00:02:05.400 --> 00:02:07.519
<v Speaker 1>nine o'clock this morning when a trooper on Granted Avenue

44
00:02:07.560 --> 00:02:10.520
<v Speaker 1>in Milton spotted the stolen vehicle. The driver tried to

45
00:02:10.520 --> 00:02:12.759
<v Speaker 1>get away by jumping on ninety three North, and soon

46
00:02:12.800 --> 00:02:15.080
<v Speaker 1>after that the car slammed into a pickup truck, propelling

47
00:02:15.120 --> 00:02:17.800
<v Speaker 1>it into a state police cruiser. The pickup driver was

48
00:02:17.800 --> 00:02:20.240
<v Speaker 1>taken to the hospital Doold to be checked out. The

49
00:02:20.360 --> 00:02:23.680
<v Speaker 1>two fifteen year old boys a charge with unlicensed operation,

50
00:02:23.840 --> 00:02:27.360
<v Speaker 1>negligent operation, and they'll face other charges as well. The

51
00:02:27.439 --> 00:02:30.280
<v Speaker 1>Justice Department has reached a conclusion on whether any FBI

52
00:02:30.360 --> 00:02:35.520
<v Speaker 1>employees helped to stop the January sixth attack at the Capitol.

53
00:02:35.879 --> 00:02:37.919
<v Speaker 1>ABC's Stephen Portnoy with the findings.

54
00:02:37.960 --> 00:02:41.520
<v Speaker 5>Despite the many conspiracy theories, the DOJ Inspector General says

55
00:02:41.520 --> 00:02:45.280
<v Speaker 5>there's no evidence that FBI employees incited the Capitol riot.

56
00:02:45.599 --> 00:02:48.879
<v Speaker 5>The report from Michael Horowitz does confirm the FBI relied

57
00:02:48.919 --> 00:02:52.240
<v Speaker 5>on twenty six informants in DC on January sixth, but

58
00:02:52.280 --> 00:02:55.000
<v Speaker 5>Horowitz says there's nothing to suggest that any of those

59
00:02:55.080 --> 00:02:58.479
<v Speaker 5>FBI sources were authorized or directed to join the assault

60
00:02:58.560 --> 00:03:01.159
<v Speaker 5>on the Capitol or to incur ridge the mob. For

61
00:03:01.360 --> 00:03:04.120
<v Speaker 5>informants entered the building during the riot. None of them

62
00:03:04.159 --> 00:03:05.039
<v Speaker 5>have been processing.

63
00:03:04.879 --> 00:03:07.280
<v Speaker 1>And the report also finds that the FBI should have

64
00:03:07.319 --> 00:03:10.000
<v Speaker 1>done more to collect intelligence on the attack before it

65
00:03:10.080 --> 00:03:13.520
<v Speaker 1>even happened. Well for Patriots head coach Bill Belichick, kicking

66
00:03:13.560 --> 00:03:17.439
<v Speaker 1>off a new chapter in his storied coaching career.

67
00:03:17.159 --> 00:03:19.879
<v Speaker 6>Please welcome the new head football coach at the University

68
00:03:19.919 --> 00:03:23.000
<v Speaker 6>of North Carolina, Coach Bill Belichick.

69
00:03:24.360 --> 00:03:27.400
<v Speaker 7>And with that, the Bill Belichick era at UNC began.

70
00:03:27.639 --> 00:03:30.960
<v Speaker 7>The former Pats coaches taking over a college football program

71
00:03:31.000 --> 00:03:33.039
<v Speaker 7>for the first time in his career. But it's not

72
00:03:33.159 --> 00:03:34.360
<v Speaker 7>something that's new to him.

73
00:03:34.560 --> 00:03:36.680
<v Speaker 8>This is really kind of a dream come true. I

74
00:03:36.719 --> 00:03:39.719
<v Speaker 8>grew up in college football with my dad. It's the

75
00:03:39.759 --> 00:03:42.120
<v Speaker 8>coach of Navy for fifty years. So as a kid,

76
00:03:42.159 --> 00:03:45.439
<v Speaker 8>all I knew it was college football, and so it's

77
00:03:45.520 --> 00:03:50.520
<v Speaker 8>great to come back home to Carolina and you know,

78
00:03:50.560 --> 00:03:52.919
<v Speaker 8>back in an environment that I really grew up in.

79
00:03:53.039 --> 00:03:55.800
<v Speaker 7>His dad also coached at UNC. Belichick showed off an

80
00:03:55.840 --> 00:03:58.039
<v Speaker 7>old sweatshirt from the school that belonged to his dad

81
00:03:58.039 --> 00:04:00.400
<v Speaker 7>at the presser, right after he was gifted a brand

82
00:04:00.439 --> 00:04:04.080
<v Speaker 7>new tar heels cut off hoodie. Kyle Bray WBZ, Boston's

83
00:04:04.080 --> 00:04:06.439
<v Speaker 7>news radio we've got clear skies coming in for tonight.

84
00:04:06.479 --> 00:04:08.280
<v Speaker 7>It is going to be chilly, and it's also going

85
00:04:08.360 --> 00:04:10.960
<v Speaker 7>to be a bit breezy, so it'll be even chillier

86
00:04:10.960 --> 00:04:13.960
<v Speaker 7>in the real field department. Temperature is about twenty five.

87
00:04:14.000 --> 00:04:16.839
<v Speaker 7>Real fields will fall through the teens tonight. Tomorrow we

88
00:04:16.839 --> 00:04:19.120
<v Speaker 7>don't warm up all that much, thirty four for the high.

89
00:04:19.399 --> 00:04:23.000
<v Speaker 7>Still a little breezy, so real fields in the twenties

90
00:04:23.000 --> 00:04:25.000
<v Speaker 7>at times Tomorrow night clear and cold will be in

91
00:04:25.040 --> 00:04:27.519
<v Speaker 7>the twenties, low twenties probably in Boston, maybe even some

92
00:04:27.600 --> 00:04:30.720
<v Speaker 7>upper teens Inland. And on Saturday, plenty of sunshine. Still

93
00:04:30.879 --> 00:04:33.319
<v Speaker 7>a cold, let's win though, So that's nice. Thirty six

94
00:04:33.399 --> 00:04:35.519
<v Speaker 7>on Saturday, about thirty seven or so for the high

95
00:04:35.560 --> 00:04:38.480
<v Speaker 7>on Sunday again with some sunshine right now forty one

96
00:04:38.519 --> 00:04:41.360
<v Speaker 7>degrees soon Boston. Well maybe you're thinking about getting a

97
00:04:41.399 --> 00:04:44.800
<v Speaker 7>Christmas tree soon, maybe you already have one. DZ's Kyle

98
00:04:44.879 --> 00:04:47.399
<v Speaker 7>Schaffel checked out a cellar to see how things are going.

99
00:04:47.519 --> 00:04:49.680
<v Speaker 9>I asked Nate at the Boston Christmas Trees a lot

100
00:04:49.720 --> 00:04:52.839
<v Speaker 9>in alsin what was probably an offensive question to somebody

101
00:04:52.839 --> 00:04:53.759
<v Speaker 9>in his line of work.

102
00:04:53.839 --> 00:04:56.560
<v Speaker 10>Does he prefer a plastic tree or a real one.

103
00:04:56.639 --> 00:04:59.160
<v Speaker 2>Well, yeah, you can't compare plastic to a real tree.

104
00:04:59.199 --> 00:05:00.680
<v Speaker 2>It's just not a fair comparison.

105
00:05:00.759 --> 00:05:03.839
<v Speaker 9>Fopaside, business is more bustling than usual this year because

106
00:05:03.879 --> 00:05:05.199
<v Speaker 9>Thanksgiving fell out late.

107
00:05:05.279 --> 00:05:07.720
<v Speaker 2>It's been a little busier on the weekends, and I

108
00:05:07.800 --> 00:05:11.319
<v Speaker 2>think that's just due to the season being condensed.

109
00:05:11.439 --> 00:05:13.360
<v Speaker 10>They sell two kinds of tree here, both with their

110
00:05:13.399 --> 00:05:14.519
<v Speaker 10>own pluses and minuses.

111
00:05:14.560 --> 00:05:16.319
<v Speaker 2>The Balsam tends to be a little bit more fragrant,

112
00:05:16.360 --> 00:05:18.959
<v Speaker 2>and the fraser tends to hold heavier ornaments a little

113
00:05:19.000 --> 00:05:19.399
<v Speaker 2>bit better.

114
00:05:19.639 --> 00:05:21.600
<v Speaker 10>Fraser firs also tend to last long.

115
00:05:21.759 --> 00:05:23.439
<v Speaker 9>I asked Nate for advice and how to make sure

116
00:05:23.480 --> 00:05:25.720
<v Speaker 9>your tree still has needles left by the big day.

117
00:05:25.800 --> 00:05:28.000
<v Speaker 2>First step to keeping it alive would be not cutting

118
00:05:28.000 --> 00:05:30.560
<v Speaker 2>it down, but the second one would be making sure

119
00:05:30.560 --> 00:05:31.480
<v Speaker 2>it gets lots of water.

120
00:05:31.639 --> 00:05:34.240
<v Speaker 10>Kyle Shaffle to be busy Boston's news radio.

121
00:05:34.439 --> 00:05:37.360
<v Speaker 1>In just about five weeks, they'll be into administration in Washington.

122
00:05:37.600 --> 00:05:41.800
<v Speaker 1>Some LGBT legal groups say they've been flooded with requests.

123
00:05:42.160 --> 00:05:44.600
<v Speaker 1>As we hear from wbz's Madison Rogers.

124
00:05:44.360 --> 00:05:47.839
<v Speaker 6>It's impossible to predict what's coming around the corner.

125
00:05:47.600 --> 00:05:50.040
<v Speaker 11>But there's a real sense of fear in the transgender

126
00:05:50.079 --> 00:05:52.360
<v Speaker 11>community locally and around the country.

127
00:05:52.480 --> 00:05:56.839
<v Speaker 6>The incoming administration has promised that it will initiate changes

128
00:05:56.839 --> 00:06:01.720
<v Speaker 6>in federal law that require people to identify only with

129
00:06:01.759 --> 00:06:02.439
<v Speaker 6>their birth sex.

130
00:06:02.519 --> 00:06:05.319
<v Speaker 11>Senior attorney Chris Urgel at Boston based Glad Law says

131
00:06:05.439 --> 00:06:09.079
<v Speaker 11>many are concerned the new administration might make their transition harder,

132
00:06:09.199 --> 00:06:11.680
<v Speaker 11>so they're rushing to update things like their legal names

133
00:06:11.720 --> 00:06:14.560
<v Speaker 11>and gender markers on ID forms. Glad Law has a

134
00:06:14.600 --> 00:06:16.959
<v Speaker 11>service aimed at helping people navigate the process.

135
00:06:17.120 --> 00:06:20.000
<v Speaker 6>Last month, we saw three times as many intakes as

136
00:06:20.040 --> 00:06:21.959
<v Speaker 6>we did the same month in the previous year.

137
00:06:22.000 --> 00:06:24.920
<v Speaker 11>Groups like GLAD and states like Massachusetts arguaring up for

138
00:06:24.959 --> 00:06:28.759
<v Speaker 11>potential legal fights around trans issues with the inauguration just
