<v Speaker 1>This is WBZ, Boston's news radio re defining local news.

2
00:00:10.119 --> 00:00:14.039
<v Speaker 2>It's four o'clock seventy eight degrees in Boston, Tuesday after noon.

3
00:00:14.119 --> 00:00:17.640
<v Speaker 2>Thanks for joining us. I'm Nicole Davis and here's what's happening.

4
00:00:18.079 --> 00:00:20.320
<v Speaker 2>The jury is done for the day at Norfolk Superior

5
00:00:20.359 --> 00:00:24.440
<v Speaker 2>Court in Denham. A crash reconstruction expert is coming back

6
00:00:24.480 --> 00:00:27.199
<v Speaker 2>to the stand tomorrow in the retrial of Karen Reid.

7
00:00:27.719 --> 00:00:30.280
<v Speaker 2>W bz's Emma Friedman is here with the very latest

8
00:00:30.280 --> 00:00:31.239
<v Speaker 2>on this testimony.

9
00:00:31.280 --> 00:00:34.679
<v Speaker 1>Emma and Nicole with pushback from the defense, doctor Judson

10
00:00:34.719 --> 00:00:37.280
<v Speaker 1>Welcher just said this on the stand, based all.

11
00:00:37.119 --> 00:00:39.759
<v Speaker 3>The evidence you consider, could you share with the jury,

12
00:00:39.799 --> 00:00:42.280
<v Speaker 3>what's your opinion is to a reasonable degree of engineering

13
00:00:42.320 --> 00:00:46.840
<v Speaker 3>certainty about whether the defendants Les Lexus struck maserro Key.

14
00:00:47.159 --> 00:00:51.600
<v Speaker 3>On January twenty nine, twenty twenty two, around twelve thirty two, Am,

15
00:00:51.640 --> 00:00:53.000
<v Speaker 3>Sarey Roner too.

16
00:00:53.880 --> 00:00:57.960
<v Speaker 4>Yes, based on the totality of the evidence DNA, everything

17
00:00:58.000 --> 00:01:00.840
<v Speaker 4>I've talked about that is consistent that happening with a

18
00:01:00.880 --> 00:01:03.600
<v Speaker 4>regional grey of scientific certainty, that is what happened.

19
00:01:03.759 --> 00:01:07.760
<v Speaker 1>Yes, you can hear kind of a dramatic scene there.

20
00:01:07.799 --> 00:01:11.280
<v Speaker 1>Welcher inspected Karen Reid lexis, the tailight and the damage.

21
00:01:11.280 --> 00:01:14.079
<v Speaker 1>He also bought his own lexus to conduct tests of

22
00:01:14.159 --> 00:01:17.120
<v Speaker 1>how could have hit. O'Keefe examined police reports, phone data,

23
00:01:17.200 --> 00:01:20.560
<v Speaker 1>and data from the suv itself. He discussed that during

24
00:01:20.560 --> 00:01:23.760
<v Speaker 1>his testimony today. The defense is addressing its objection to

25
00:01:23.840 --> 00:01:27.079
<v Speaker 1>Judge Canoni right now with no jury present. They say

26
00:01:27.079 --> 00:01:30.040
<v Speaker 1>the way the prosecution phrased that question should not be allowed.

27
00:01:30.319 --> 00:01:32.719
<v Speaker 1>The Commonwealth says that he should be allowed to voice

28
00:01:32.840 --> 00:01:36.159
<v Speaker 1>his expert opinion. As you said, Nicole. The jury will

29
00:01:36.159 --> 00:01:38.480
<v Speaker 1>be back in court tomorrow for more testimony.

30
00:01:38.560 --> 00:01:40.640
<v Speaker 2>All right, Emma Friedman watching this for us. Thank you

31
00:01:40.680 --> 00:01:43.239
<v Speaker 2>so much, Emma, and we'll hear more about the trial

32
00:01:43.560 --> 00:01:46.319
<v Speaker 2>for the rest of the week. Here on WBZ, I

33
00:01:46.319 --> 00:01:48.439
<v Speaker 2>mean tom at four oh one, a suspect is facing

34
00:01:48.519 --> 00:01:51.519
<v Speaker 2>charges as he recovers in the hospital. Is after this

35
00:01:51.640 --> 00:01:55.920
<v Speaker 2>morning's officer involved scuffle downtown ended with a gunshot. You're

36
00:01:56.120 --> 00:01:57.560
<v Speaker 2>wbz's Madison Rogers.

37
00:01:57.599 --> 00:02:01.079
<v Speaker 5>It happened right by mass General Hospital on Cambridge Street

38
00:02:01.079 --> 00:02:04.640
<v Speaker 5>before nine am. Boston Police Commissioner Michael Cox says an

39
00:02:04.640 --> 00:02:08.159
<v Speaker 5>officer working in detail was approached by a suspect who

40
00:02:08.240 --> 00:02:10.759
<v Speaker 5>appeared to be suffering a mental health issue.

41
00:02:10.479 --> 00:02:13.560
<v Speaker 6>Somehow attacked the officer in some way, shape or form,

42
00:02:14.080 --> 00:02:16.759
<v Speaker 6>was able to get a hold of the office's firearm,

43
00:02:17.360 --> 00:02:21.680
<v Speaker 6>discharged at least one round injuring himself.

44
00:02:21.360 --> 00:02:25.039
<v Speaker 5>Shooting himself in the foot. The commissioner thanked bystanders who

45
00:02:25.120 --> 00:02:27.560
<v Speaker 5>apparently helped police detain the suspect.

46
00:02:27.680 --> 00:02:31.039
<v Speaker 6>He's under arrest. He's treated at an area hospital with

47
00:02:31.080 --> 00:02:33.120
<v Speaker 6>a non life threatening gunshot wound.

48
00:02:33.199 --> 00:02:36.479
<v Speaker 5>A major police presence swarmed the scene, shutting down streets.

49
00:02:36.759 --> 00:02:39.800
<v Speaker 5>Cox says the officer is doing okay and an active

50
00:02:39.840 --> 00:02:45.240
<v Speaker 5>investigation continues. Madison Rogers wb Z, Boston's news radio.

51
00:02:45.080 --> 00:02:47.080
<v Speaker 2>And the Supreme Court says it will not hear an

52
00:02:47.080 --> 00:02:50.039
<v Speaker 2>appeal connected to a controversial T shirt and a seven

53
00:02:50.080 --> 00:02:52.319
<v Speaker 2>to two ruling. The High Court left a federal appeals

54
00:02:52.360 --> 00:02:55.240
<v Speaker 2>court ruling in place over a student in Middleborough who

55
00:02:55.280 --> 00:02:57.360
<v Speaker 2>has been from wearing a shirt to school that claims

56
00:02:57.400 --> 00:03:00.000
<v Speaker 2>there are only two genders. School staff at the Nichols

57
00:03:00.000 --> 00:03:02.439
<v Speaker 2>Middle School told the student he couldn't wear it because

58
00:03:02.439 --> 00:03:06.000
<v Speaker 2>of its impact on students who are transgender or gender nonconforming.

59
00:03:06.400 --> 00:03:08.360
<v Speaker 2>The First Circuit Court of Appeals said it didn't see

60
00:03:08.360 --> 00:03:11.000
<v Speaker 2>an issue with that decision, saying it's reasonable to predict

61
00:03:11.039 --> 00:03:15.199
<v Speaker 2>the shirt could disrupt learning. Justices Samuel Alito and Clarence

62
00:03:15.240 --> 00:03:18.479
<v Speaker 2>Thomas dissenting in the descent. Alito wrote, the court should

63
00:03:18.479 --> 00:03:21.159
<v Speaker 2>have heard the case because the school opposed a certain

64
00:03:21.240 --> 00:03:24.719
<v Speaker 2>view on gender but allowed others. And when it comes

65
00:03:24.719 --> 00:03:26.960
<v Speaker 2>to the forecast for the rest of the afternoon into

66
00:03:27.000 --> 00:03:30.800
<v Speaker 2>the evening, it's looking good, nice and quiet, no complaints.

67
00:03:31.199 --> 00:03:33.680
<v Speaker 2>And we have a load tonight near sixty in Boston,

68
00:03:33.759 --> 00:03:36.960
<v Speaker 2>low to mid fifties if you're in the suburbs. For tomorrow,

69
00:03:37.159 --> 00:03:39.479
<v Speaker 2>mix of sun and clouds, much like today, with a

70
00:03:39.560 --> 00:03:42.199
<v Speaker 2>high in the mid seventies. For Tomorrow night cloudy with

71
00:03:42.240 --> 00:03:44.280
<v Speaker 2>a few showers arriving late in a low in the

72
00:03:44.319 --> 00:03:47.039
<v Speaker 2>mid fifties. And then Thursday a bit cooler with a

73
00:03:47.080 --> 00:03:49.840
<v Speaker 2>high only in the mid sixties. Still a bit unsettled,

74
00:03:49.840 --> 00:03:52.400
<v Speaker 2>a few showers from time to time, more of those

75
00:03:52.520 --> 00:03:55.919
<v Speaker 2>on Friday, with the high in the low seventies. It's

76
00:03:55.960 --> 00:03:58.639
<v Speaker 2>seventy eight degrees in Fitchburg right now, seventy one on

77
00:03:58.680 --> 00:04:02.199
<v Speaker 2>the water in Gloucester, seeing seventy five in Bridgewater. In

78
00:04:02.280 --> 00:04:05.319
<v Speaker 2>Boston right now at four six, it is partly cloudy

79
00:04:05.400 --> 00:04:08.439
<v Speaker 2>and seventy seven degrees. The lawyers who will take your

80
00:04:08.479 --> 00:04:11.400
<v Speaker 2>case if you can't afford an attorney have now stopped

81
00:04:11.479 --> 00:04:13.520
<v Speaker 2>doing it because they say they need more money.

82
00:04:13.680 --> 00:04:16.240
<v Speaker 4>The bar advocates say their plea for higher pay has

83
00:04:16.279 --> 00:04:18.720
<v Speaker 4>fallen on deaf ears at the State House, so the

84
00:04:18.759 --> 00:04:22.639
<v Speaker 4>attorneys who represent indigen defenders are now refusing to take

85
00:04:22.680 --> 00:04:24.160
<v Speaker 4>on any new clients.

86
00:04:24.360 --> 00:04:28.279
<v Speaker 7>So I will not take any more four appointed assignments

87
00:04:28.959 --> 00:04:32.759
<v Speaker 7>unlesson until there's a fair reasonable wage for all bar

88
00:04:32.839 --> 00:04:35.560
<v Speaker 7>advocates throughout the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

89
00:04:35.720 --> 00:04:38.360
<v Speaker 4>Bar advocate Sean Delaney says the action he and his

90
00:04:38.439 --> 00:04:42.319
<v Speaker 4>colleagues are taking will undoubtedly have an almost immediate impact

91
00:04:42.480 --> 00:04:43.240
<v Speaker 4>on justice.

92
00:04:43.439 --> 00:04:46.360
<v Speaker 7>The most serious cases may get suscussed if you extend

93
00:04:46.399 --> 00:04:49.079
<v Speaker 7>it so long that someone doesn't have a lawyer. That's

94
00:04:49.079 --> 00:04:51.600
<v Speaker 7>not right for the general public. We don't think it's

95
00:04:51.639 --> 00:04:54.720
<v Speaker 7>right either, if cases should proceed in their normal costs.

96
00:04:55.279 --> 00:04:56.000
<v Speaker 5>We had no.

100
00:05:04.720 --> 00:05:08.920

101
00:05:09.000 --> 00:05:12.839
<v Speaker 2>Keys says the suit focuses on the President's executive order

102

105
00:05:24.399 --> 00:05:27.680
<v Speaker 8>order to cut their federal funding is illegal and violates

106
00:05:27.680 --> 00:05:30.680
<v Speaker 8>the First Amendment. The soup says the order is textbook

107
00:05:30.680 --> 00:05:35.120
<v Speaker 8>retaliation and viewpoint based discrimination. The President's executive order says

108
00:05:35.120 --> 00:05:39.000
<v Speaker 8>the Corporation for Public Broadcasting and other federal agencies must

112
00:05:47.000 --> 00:05:50.040
<v Speaker 9>The US State Department recently issued a Level two travel

113

114
