Set your reminders for tonight at 6 PM with Sarge and Michele McPhee. 🔥 “This entire case (Farwell/Birchmore)feels like it is Congressional investigation worthy - just like Whitey Bulger's long reign of terror in Boston.” 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻

Here’s where Fanning and Dunne are now from the Boston Globe: “Fanning, Dunne, and their unions didn’t respond Wednesday to requests for comment. Fanning now has an administrative role at the agency’s Division of Investigative Services, and Dunne is assigned to Morrissey’s office.”bostonglobe.com/2026/11/11/m…
Credit where credit is due to these retired MA state troopers for digging into the Sandra Birchmore case.
Retired MA State Police Paul L’Italien, Robert Fries & Michael Bates dug into the Sandra Birchmore case, even when it meant investigating fellow cops. They didn’t protect their own or look the other way. They deserve recognition.

Stoughton residents stand up for their Police Chief Donna McNamara who had the courage to stand up for Sandra Birchmore. Citizens had questions, they want answers, they want leadership. 👏👏👏
Incoming Norfolk County DA Djuna Perkins weighs in on Matthew Farwell Ve... youtu.be/MkDHRGWAUvE?is=bEJy… via @YouTube
Barb and Mizzy had No Quit. Hats off to these two brave women of Massachusetts on the front line of justice who never gave up. #SandraBirchmoreTrial
Farwell found guilty. Justice for Sandra Birchmore and her baby boy. There aren’t enough thank yous to everyone who was there for this journey and the jurors. And a real tour de force by the Feds.
Regarding Sandra Birchmore, “No matter what the verdict, State Police are expected to face fresh questions about Fanning’s handling of the probe. State Police have repeatedly declined comment, citing the ongoing trial.”
The lead investigator during the initial investigation into Sandra Birchmore’s death never took the stand during former Stoughton police detective Matthew Farwell’s federal trial, but he could remain in the spotlight. trib.al/ZcU0NST
Why isn’t The Boston Globe asking or investigating why the Karen Read and Sandra Birchmore cases share similarities of shoddy investigations, rush to judgment, and same cast of law enforcement officers?
Why hasn’t the Farwell trial become a media circus like the Clancy and Read cases? trib.al/jr5Nkd4
Go, Mizzy, Go. She has been amazing advocate for Sandra Birchmore from the get go. So proud of women who stand up for other women.

I changed my profile photo and my account was under review for two days. I’m one of the few people who uses my real name and unfiltered photo. Anyway, I got my checkmark back today and will try to remain my circumspect self. 🤣🤣🤣

Been saying it all comes down to politics. To quote LDT Emeritus: “All prosecutions are both political and discretionary.”
Karen Read's Norfolk County criminal jurors concluded that Ms. Read did not cause Officer O'Keefe's death. Those jurors were not permitted to find who, in the alternative, *did* cause his death.
Jurors in the pending civil cases will have the freedom to conclude not only that Ms. Read likely did not cause or contribute to Officer O'Keefe's demise, but who did.
That's a finding that could very well signal renewed focus by federal authorities.
In a just system, It ought to prompt prospective DA Djuna Perkins into action as well. But, like the incumbent, Ms. Perkins already announced her conclusion that Karen Read caused Officer O'Keefe's demise -- even if (as I suspect) she doesn't really believe that.
All prosecutions are both political and discretionary.

The Boss with a powerful message on Election Day for election officials 💪….meanwhile everyone that hasn’t voted yet let’s get out there today and get this thing done!
Just a reminder that Election Day is Tuesday. Look beyond the photo of the candidate and pay attention to their record and most importantly to who has endorsed them. If their endorsers are groups or legislators who you do not support, then they are not the candidate for you. Choose the next DA and Governor wisely and VOTE, Norfolk County.
MA voters on X:
Imagine if we spent as much time reading the ballot questions as we did this weekend mocking other people’s looks, or AI-polishing our own photos.
Election Day is Tuesday.
And when it comes to mocking anyone’s appearance, we all live in glass houses. Even those of you hiding behind anonymous accounts. Especially you.
Another must read from Michele McPhee. 👇🏻
Remember there is also the Stoughton Police Internal Affairs report, undertaken by retired MSP Det. Captain Paul J. L'Italien, hired days after Sandra's body was found on Feb. 4, 2021, which was submitted on August 29, 2022 to Chief Donna McNamara and Deputy Chief Brian Holmes.
Holmes, who was in charge of this investigation, testified that he intended for that report to be completely "exclusive and independent" of the Norfolk County CPAC case. This report, available publicly, is thorough, and identified [not by name] the U.S. Army Sergeant Jason Pickard, a then recruiter in the Quincy military center, who was later identified as the father of Sandra's unborn child.
It also references the text messages about the alleged statutory rape of Sandra, then 15, by Matthew Farwell, then 27, in which Sandra specifies the date, April 10, 2013 "the best day of my life." [Her own words now critical piece of evidence years after her death. Sandra left behind the evidence that became key to the current federal prosecution.]
The IAD report also uncovers the alleged wire fraud committed by the Matthew Farwell, his twin brother Billy, and Robert Devine who all reportedly had sexual contact with Sandra on duty. Joshua Heal is also mentioned for a consensual encounter at the town animal shelter that led to the adoption of one of Sandra's two beloved cats, Lily and Midnight, who now live with her aunt in New Hampshire.
It's this report that was handed over to the FBI by Brian Holmes, after Norfolk County state prosecutors reportedly refused to seat a grand jury to hear evidence against Farwell.
The FBI case begins in 2023, per court filings. I am not sure if this fits into the Spoliation argument. But there was a completely separate government investigation that was clearly not tainted.

The “alliances” shift on a dime within and between FKR and AFKR. Queen or King today. Ratchet tomorrow. And vice versa. To me, words tossed back and forth aren’t the real indicator of character, conviction or loyalty. Actions tell the story. Churchill said it best.
Amazing!!! And I do Fervently hope that the Ice Cream Truck will pull up in Canton and Stoughton.

Before you vote for DA on Tuesday, watch this interview between Note My Objection and Djuna Perkins. I was a little taken aback about the commentary on Adam Deitch. I’m glad I supported him because he’s the only candidate who represented change. He was more than a “one issue” candidate to me. 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻
