Former Massachusetts State Police Trooper Michael Proctor was scheduled to testify at a hearing regarding a motion to dismiss in the Myles King murder case, but unexpectedly exercised his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination after a private sidebar with the judge. Defense attorney Rosemary Scapicchio expressed frustration over the sudden reversal, as Proctor's lawyer had previously indicated he would testify. Scapicchio argued that Proctor's lead role in the investigation tainted the case due to explicit racial bias demonstrated in his text messages, asserting this constitutes structural error warranting dismissal. The court order addressed discovery delays and police bias, mandating that remaining testimonies—including continued cross-examination of Attorney Adam Lally and statements from Milton police officers—proceed under narrow focus, with several witnesses submitting evidence via affidavit.

In a brief restitution hearing for Kouri Richins, the prosecution's request for life insurance restitution totaling over $1.4 million was granted unopposed, with the defense's request for a stay denied. Following this, the state's response to the defense’s motion for a new trial, which primarily accused the judge of bias. The state's response—supported by an appendix outlining trial sidebars and positive juror interviews—argued that the judge acted with complete fairness, patience, and restraint, while characterizing the defense's claims as legally inaccurate and persistent in misinterpreting the rules of evidence.

This Case Brief focuses on the conclusion of the Tupac Shakur murder trial, and on the swift guilty verdict rendered to Duane ‘Keffe D’ Davis after less than three hours of jury deliberation. We review post-verdict interviews from both the Clark County District Attorney's office and Davis's defense attorney. Additionally, there are video highlights clips from a pre-trial interview with Davis himself, who maintained his innocence by claiming his previous widespread confessions were falsified ghostwritten accounts driven purely by financial gain.
