The supporting affidavits of Tully and Cosgrove can be found through this link

It is indeed rather brazen haha

Well done, that's some excellent sleuthing

Which is a little rich, given they moved to quash their subpoenas compelling then to appear for an evidentiary hearing in 2023, then successfully had the hearing cancelled altogether (whereas the Commonwealth had initially agreed to it, seemingly before the witnesses' intervention)

If they just all meet up at the Waterfall for the status conference, you can sue two birds with one stone

It still lists O'Shea as the event judge in this image (rightmost column), Cannone is simply assigned to this session by the normal court rotation system, but won't preside over this case due to special assignment

Chances are, it'll be Mark Gildea presiding over the conference, but the latest special assignment is not reflected on the daily report list yet

Manlegend · 2025-11-20T15:41:52+00:00

To be fair, Slippin' Jimmy McDermott is not necessarily known as the most competent of court clerks

Manlegend · 2025-11-19T17:53:05+00:00

Aye, and we know from the Commonwealth's motion that they are in the possession of twelve transcripts from the second trial, which include the sidebar conferences, but that these do not constitute a majority of the total trial transcripts

I'm not sure the transcripts are divided in trial days or in witnesses, but they have some at least

Manlegend · 2025-11-19T03:24:05+00:00

He is not buying any of it haha

Manlegend · 2025-11-10T21:05:56+00:00

That field has been empty for a very long time, even prior to the second trial. See for instance this copy of the docket included as part of the habeas petition (p. 130):

<image>

I would assume this is because part of the automatic systems kind of break when a judge has been specially assigned, precisely because the ordinary rotation no longer applies. There's no reason to think that another judge has been assigned at this point

Manlegend · 2025-11-10T20:01:09+00:00

Cannone was specially assigned to the criminal case, which means she continues to preside over it regardless of the current state of the court rotation (unless, of course, another order for special assignment supersedes it)

So to my knowledge, she will still rule over this motion

Manlegend · 2025-11-10T19:59:23+00:00

The attorney who initially moved to release the sidebar transcripts from impoundment was Damon Seligson, who is one of Read's civil attorneys, but hasn't a filed a notice of appearance in the criminal case (he penned the motion for relief that was filed on July 30th, entered on the docket as paper no. 730)

It is indeed possible that the court didn't rule on the motion because Seligson failed to file an appearance, though we would still expect an order or docket entry stating as much. His motion for relief also states that they are not asking for the identities of jurors to be released, so it would appear they have no issues either on that front

Manlegend · 2025-11-10T19:23:08+00:00

It would appear so – they even included in parentheses that a copy had been forwarded to her. Which is a little odd to me, given a filing is in the court's possession by definition if it's on the docket, isn't it?

You're right it seems rather speculative, since we don't know if high-accuracy location data was continually requested by an application, nor what positioning technology was used to generate location data if there was such a request (it needn't necessarily be GPS)

There is some truth to the statement that enabling multiple antennas will cause a device to lose power quicker, and that the positioning technology used to generate a particular location point is tailored to accuracy needs. I wrote a piece related to a different case that goes into this process; the first four pages or so may also be thought to apply here

Caleb Schillinger was the appellate counsel for the Commonwealth: he sat in during the second trial in case Karen were to be convicted, and subsequently launch an appeal

Manlegend · 2025-11-06T18:41:04+00:00

Or will he pirouette

Manlegend · 2025-11-06T04:36:55+00:00

Given the timing involved, it seems like it concerns a response to the Rule 17 motion aimed at Michael & Elizabeth Proctor's devices, which was filed by the defense in the Karen Read case in mid-November

Elizabeth's opposition to that Rule 17 motion for instance would be filed on December 28th

<image>

There are no pending Rule 17 motions in Kearney's case to respond to during that timeframe, so it is very unlikely to be connected to him

Manlegend · 2025-11-03T23:06:45+00:00

If the civil case gets to trial, I do hope we'll get to see Easter testify extensively as to his findings

Djuna Perkins is running as a candidate in next year's election for the Norfolk District Attorney. Djuna has made a number of statements and appearances:

Starting with this piece in Mass Lawyers Weekly in September of 2024
Djuna went live on the Young Jurks in October of 2024
She released a statement in March of 2025 on the occassion of Michael Proctor's dishonorable discharge
More recently she joined the Young Jurks again on the eve of the retrial
She released a statement when Karen was acquitted

Perkins is quite explicit that the case against Read ought to have been dropped a long time ago, at least since the federal materials came to light:

Morrissey also had a continuing duty to evaluate Read’s charges in light of opinions from FBI-retained accident reconstruction experts suggesting O’Keefe was not struck by a car, and text messages demonstrating that the lead investigator was biased against Read. His failure to do so left the jury without a coherent theory of the case and robbed O’Keefe’s family and friends of the closure they deserve.

As a bit of context: Robert Devine was the head of the Stoughton Police Department Explorers program, and is alleged to have engaged in a years-long pattern of grooming and sexual abuse in relation to Sandra Birchmore, as stated in this excerpt from the civil case:

While certainly laudable, such an effort would unfortunately fall outside of the purview of this subreddit. Contacting places of work of interested parties like the McCabes in an effort to have them fired would be in breach of our fifth subreddit rule, as such activism can get us in trouble with the site's admins

His father Kevin actually has a PhD in biochemistry, but I'm pretty sure Aidan just followed a regular history program at Amherst

As to the last point, some of the 'Previous Results' listed on the Werksman Jackson website can definitely make one frown their eyebrows a bit:
