We are grateful for the Court’s straightforward and fair decision: if the government wishes to put someone to death, it must make its case to a fairly selected jury that is provided all relevant information. The Court rightly acknowledges, as do we, the extraordinary harm done to the victims of the bombing. It is now up to the government to determine whether to put the victims and Boston through a second trial, or to allow closure to this terrible tragedy by permitting a sentence of life without the possibility of release.

State officials didn't have all the answers about what exact refunds would be available, but they might find some clarity in the status report filed to the Supreme Judicial Court by the Massachusetts Attorney General's Office and attorneys for the drug defendants, Daniel Marx, William Fick and Luke Ryan.

Some 40,000 people had charges dismissed due to falsified test results and stolen drugs by two state lab chemists.

The state owes money to 40,000 drug defendants whose convictions were overturned due to misconduct by state drug lab chemists.

The state owes money to 40,000 drug defendants whose convictions were overturned due to misconduct by state drug lab chemists.

Nancy Gertner: "The US attorney insisted this was not about immigration; it was about an abuse of power. The first part of his statement was absurd. The Department of Homeland Security rarely bothers with the Newton District Court. But the second part is correct. This case is about abuse of power. His."

The US attorney’s case against Judge Joseph is an abuse of power. His.

"By any measure, this case is just heartbreaking," Fick told the judge. "I've never seen anything quite like it."

“Since any felony conviction is life-altering, sometimes it’s best to stand and fight,” said attorney William Fick, of the Boston firm Fick & Marx. “There are important issues for someone to challenge here: Is the alleged misconduct actually a federal crime? Did government agents and informants act properly?”
