The last line... "And as Col. Noble has admitted, the years-long corruption is systemic"

I truly believe it is!
Agree, and should be investigated but where do you begin to clean it up??

"Following the discovery of new evidence from Michael Proctor’s cell phone, the State Police Association of Massachusetts’ Executive Board unanimously voted to sever all support for his appeal. We hope this decisive move closes a deeply embarrassing chapter in State Police history," Union President Brian Williams said in a statement.

This wasn’t so much about Proctor deciding not to move forward, but the police union.

What happens next? Can Karen’s lawyers get this info? Surely there are comments about her case with other people. And you have to figure every lawyer whose client has been convicted is tying to get it all. The state police says they hope it ends an embarrassing chapter in their history but I think the can of worms has just been opened.

Prosecutors initially charged Kearney in 2023 and accused him of intimidating witnesses in the case through his confrontational reporting tactics, which included rolling rallies and livestreamed encounters. However, Kearney and his lawyers maintain the blogger’s actions were protected under the First Amendment, turning his criminal cases into a free speech battleground.

“That would be two down, two cases to go,” defense attorney Tim Bradl said following Wednesday’s nolle prosequi. “These cases should have never been brought, and are outrageous expressions of unlawful viewpoint discrimination and a perversion of the first amendment.”

Gaetani, meanwhile, said she was “incensed” upon learning Morrissey had dropped the charges against Kearney rather than appoint another special prosecutor. She sharply criticized both Morrissey and Massachusetts State Police Detective Lt. Brian Tully, an investigator on the case, asserting Morrissey “was in no position” to decide the nolle prosequi.

Not to mention that Proctor's lawyer, Daniel Moynihan, wasted no time in immediately withdrawing from representing Proctor. (This was revealed by Howie Carr on Melanie Little today after he talked Moynihan).

Also, it seems to me there could be many years of data for the Feds to review that could also wrap up any criminal conspiracy and/or corruption investigation.... JMO

So it was confirmed! I had heard speculation that his lawyer dumped him.

I feel really bad for Proctor’s kids.

The decision by former Massachusetts State Police trooper Michael Proctor to withdraw his appeal of his termination came after the union representing troopers voted to pull its support of the appeal just days before scheduled hearings.


The executive board of the State Police Association of Massachusetts, which previously supported Proctor’s appeal, voted unanimously to “sever all support for his appeal” after the discovery of new evidence on his personal cell phone.

[..]

The move essentially left Proctor without a lawyer to represent him. Daniel Moynihan, the lawyer representing Proctor, serves as counsel for the union.

[..]

It’s a rapid reversal of position for the union, which previously criticized the decision to fire Proctor.

“The decision to terminate was guided by expedience, the relentless drumbeat of conspiracy theorists and the intense glare of the media spotlight. Sadly, in the end it was easier for the Department to terminate Michael Proctor than it was for them to stand tall and face the critics,” Williams said in March, when Proctor’s firing was announced.

Proctor was set to appear before the Civil Service Commission for the final three of five scheduled days of hearings on his appeal starting Tuesday. The hearings were set to address his claim that he was treated differently than other troopers.

I haven't kept up with everything... but I do see things on social media here and there ...

Proctor, from what I understand, he thought everything deleted every 30 days from his phone, but of course after the KR trials, in a different case they wanted his phone... they found ALL of his messaged in his icloud or some cloud lol Yep, the union dumped him quickly.

I am not a huge fan of Aidan Kearney (aka Turtleboy)... but there is some super shadey stuff there too, which of course involves some local LE, like Tully.

What a mess. And if KR didn't have the lawyers she did... I bet we wouldn't the half of it!

Crazy! and good to see a few of you still keeping up with it too ;)

He bought a new phone in 2024. Someone correct me if I’m wrong but I think he set that phone up to delete text messages after 30 days but he didn’t realize it hooked up to the cloud where his info from 2013 onward was stored. When they went into the cloud they found hundreds of thousands (!!!!) of items. This isn’t just text messages but photos, voice notes etc. Probably what’s app conversations and more. So they have a ton of stuff to go through. Imagine if he took a pic of Karen’s car before it broke into 47 pieces. Then think about who he texted and what was said. This was his personal phone but was he texting with other cops and the Alberts and McCabes? John’s family?

Alan Jackson must be salivating at what he can get his hands on now.

Lawyers of previously convicted people are going to want to see if there was evidence of bad policing. Lawyers of people awaiting trial are going to want it.

This is the tip of the iceberg.

I loveeee that Jackson is still helping KR. He is all in on this.

And some wonder how people are railroaded, falsely found guilty, etc. It's because of LE and the corrupt officials within. IMO

This morning I am seeing an email that came from a FOI request that BP Commissioner Michael Cox did in fact know that Kelly Dever was involved with the KR case (he said after her testimony that he had no idea). It was an email from the Boston FBI. (Not sure I can link it here, but I'm sure some news sites may pick up on it today)

On Kelly Dever.. she resigned from BPD last month.

I hope if the Civil case goes to trial that it will be streamed ;)

Wouldn’t it be great if he videod the missing ring footage using this phone? Or a photo of the broken taillight at Karen’s parents’ house?

This makes me think of the "no nudes yet" message that he sent to his group chat, the one that Bukhenik replied with the 👍

I sure hope it wasn't habit with all of them to look and share if they found some.

What a douchebag.

I am sure we will learn more as time goes on, a lot of these cases kinda end after the trial... this one keeps throwing little tidbits at us lol
If the highly sensitive info is something they want to protect the police from, that had better not happen. If it’s to protect the names of victims, that should be a given. I bet they’re still trying to protect cops.
