Prosecutors will introduce “expert testimony regarding DNA testing in this case and [have] provided the results of preliminary DNA testing to counsel” for Farwell, according to a status report on the case filed Thursday by prosecutors and his federal public defenders in US District Court in Boston.

I assume the DNA is from the fetal tissue taken during the autopsy.

New article by Boston Magazine about the Sandra Birchmore murder. Such a very sad story for her. This should make people furious. I know I am. These cops up there are monsters. If they are capable of this is there really any question how shady and off the rails the Karen Read case is? What about other cases??? This isn't just one or two bad apples. It's a culture with multiple people involved. The Betrayal of Sandra Birchmore

The town of Abington has recommended that former school resource officer Josh Heal be stripped of his police certification by the Peace Officer Standards and Training Commission (POST).

Abington Town Manager Scott Lambaise told investigative reporter Ted Daniel that the new Abington Police Chief submitted a recommendation to “decertify” Heal after POST requested a 2023 town report that detailed Heal’s statements about his relationship with Sandra Birchmore before her alleged murder in February 2021.

POST reached out to the town days before 25 Investigates reported that credible allegations made against Heal were never reported to the state law enforcement watchdog agency.

Thanks for this -- excellent, detailed and savagely honest article. What this crew of police officers subjected SB to, both before and after her death, is sickening and terrifying. No one tried to stop them, and they had no interest in stopping themselves.

The fact that punishment may begin and end for some with "decertification" is obscene. Good on the Justice for SB group and some media for continuing to publish these crimes. Her tormentors, murderer and his enablers should be not free to "regret their actions." Shocking.
