  • Formal Discipline for Canton Police Officer Kevin Albert Kept Confidential Amid Ongoing Investigations

    Formal Discipline for Canton Police Officer Kevin Albert Kept Confidential Amid Ongoing Investigations
    Nov 18 2024
    The town of Canton, Massachusetts, has formally disciplined Detective Kevin Albert following an investigation into his actions during a night of drinking with Massachusetts State Police Trooper Michael Proctor in 2022. The allegations emerged during the Karen Read trial, in which Proctor served as the lead investigator. Despite the decision to discipline Albert, the exact nature of his punishment remains undisclosed due to ongoing investigations.

    Canton Police Chief Helena Rafferty stated that the investigative report into Albert's conduct is being withheld as it involves “ongoing investigations by other agencies.” Additionally, the disciplinary decision, made in a Select Board executive session, is classified as a personnel record, further limiting its disclosure.

    Albert's connection to the case has drawn significant attention, as his brother, Brian Albert, owns the home where Boston Police Officer John O'Keefe was found unresponsive in the snow on January 29, 2022. O'Keefe was the boyfriend of Karen Read, who was later charged with his murder. Read’s defense has argued that she was framed, implicating Proctor, the Albert family, and others in a potential cover-up.

    Proctor's testimony in the Read trial revealed text messages between him and Kevin Albert, further complicating the case. The defense raised questions regarding Proctor’s relationship with the Albert family and whether this influenced his handling of the investigation.

    The town confirmed that the discipline was decided after an independent investigation and a review by the Select Board, but they declined to share any details. Chris Albert, another of Kevin’s brothers, who serves on the Canton Select Board, recused himself from the decision-making process. The town and police department maintain that the records will be made public when the other ongoing investigations are completed.

    This development adds to the controversies surrounding the Karen Read trial, with Proctor currently under investigation and suspended without pay from the Massachusetts State Police. Read’s defense has consistently raised concerns about conflicts of interest, particularly involving the Albert family, and alleged misconduct by investigators during the case.

    As the town awaits the conclusion of the various investigations, it remains unclear what the long-term implications of this discipline will be for Kevin Albert and how it may impact the upcoming retrial of Karen Read.

  • PD Behind Sandra Birchmore & Karen Read About To Have Any Dirty Laundry Exposed In New Audit

    PD Behind Sandra Birchmore & Karen Read About To Have Any Dirty Laundry Exposed In New Audit
    Nov 15 2024
    Was Sandra Birchmore’s tragic end truly a suicide, or does it point to something far more sinister? In this episode, Tony Brueski and former prosecutor Eric Faddis delve into the murky circumstances surrounding the 23-year-old’s death, examining evidence against her alleged abuser, former police officer Matthew Farwell, who is caught on video entering her apartment shortly before her death. The conversation unveils disturbing details of a supposed "ring" of individuals in positions of authority who allegedly manipulated and mistreated Sandra from a young age. Adding complexity, Canton officials are now enlisting external auditors to probe potential misconduct and hidden truths within the police department. With accusations of a cover-up and the FBI now involved, the questions grow even darker: will justice finally be served, or will Sandra’s story be buried under red tape?

  • Will An Audit Help Clean Up The Canton PD In Light Of Read & Birchmore Cases?

    Will An Audit Help Clean Up The Canton PD In Light Of Read & Birchmore Cases?
    Nov 12 2024
    Will An Audit Help Clean Up The Canton PD In Light Of Read & Birchmore Cases?
    Could a police department allegedly cover up the murder of a young woman to protect its own officers? The death of Sandra Birchmore, originally labeled as a suicide, has since unraveled into a chilling narrative implicating members of the Canton Police Department. Allegations suggest that one officer, Matthew Farwell, began grooming her when she was just 12 years old, while others allegedly exploited her after she turned 18. With an audit now underway to dig deep into the department's practices, one wonders: will this probe uncover the full extent of misconduct, or will more disturbing secrets stay hidden in the shadows?

    Psychotherapist and author Shavaun Scott joins the discussion, offering insight into the psychological screening methods—or lack thereof—used for officers, and whether such assessments could ever truly flag someone capable of such heinous behavior. Are manipulative tendencies and moral failings detectable in pre-employment tests, or can some simply slip through the cracks? Should those entrusted to protect our most vulnerable, like school resource officers, face the same rigorous evaluations required of nuclear plant workers?

    If psych testing could save lives, why don’t we use it more? And more importantly, would it even work?

So many commercials!

So many commercials, so little story. I like how the commentators are now just as confused as the world is.
