Photo from a wild day. Not guilty on the major counts.

This is right after the verdict came down. Easily a crowd of hundreds up and down High Street in Dedham.

A couple hundred Karen Read supporters are arrayed outside Norfolk Superior Court and down the street as we wait for the defense team to come back out, after three questions from the jury.

Marcelo Gomes da Silva immigration lawyer Robin Nice: "It's people like Marcelo who are the fabric of our community. So what are we doing here? We have other actual problems to solve. Marcelo is not a problem."

Community members describe an intense atmosphere of fear and apprehension on the streets, as people have seen their friends and family members arrested and hauled away. @CSchaffelWBZ reports:

Sometimes, there's nowhere to go but up.

138 Arlington Street is a tiny patch of leftover land, squeezed between two streets. Now, a developer is trying to build a house there.

A look into a growing suburban financial crisis. After 8 failed overrides over the last 35 years, Stoneham may now need to shut down town services once taken as a given.

[WBZ NewsRadio @wbznewsradio]

The town of Stoneham could gut its library, recreation department, and other civic mainstays because of budget shortfalls. https://t.co/8nJyUeL1wI

Patriots Owner Robert Kraft spoke to the media saying he felt "terrible" for firing head coach Jerod Mayo but said it was necessary because he doesn't like losing. https://t.co/GgpQaPoser

A day at Gillette (my first, after growing up practically in its shadow) --

Robert Kraft takes it all on his shoulders today, saying Jerod Mayo's short tenure here is "all on me." Decision made in last month. "If it was just personal, it would be different."

This was a fascinating look into the fight to keep one of the oldest houses in Massachusetts from being demolished. I spoke to George Sawin, whose great (x6) grandfather built it.

Things younger than this house:

- The piano
- Seltzer
- The United States of America

[WBZ NewsRadio @wbznewsradio]

George Sawin can point to the house where his ancient ancestors lived out their lives. Soon, the structure might be torn down. https://t.co/kQvGdV8hcC

I sat down with some of the leaders of this nascent movement. Wild, but a fascinating look at where some people are, post-election.

After this latest presidential election, the New England Independence Campaign sees an uptick in interest for their core ideology: splitting off from the U.S. to form a new sovereign country. https://t.co/2Xlg4U2f7H

State Auditor Diana DiZoglio wants more transparency on Beacon Hill, so she’d like a look at their books. But leaders there say she doesn’t have the power – and shouldn’t. https://t.co/Bg3i6PnHYn

First Boston Marathon in the field: ✅

In case anyone was wondering about the story behind alllll those "Envy Apple" billboards. Great fun with this one.

[WBZ NewsRadio @wbznewsradio]

Greater Boston has been flooded with a deluge of ads for one very specific apple variety. We set out to see where they came from. https://t.co/AMyZ9oSyPZ

The oyster farming industry in Massachusetts has ramped up in the last decade, and now moves more than $30 million in oysters a year. The work goes on around the calendar, especially in Duxbury, an oyster hotspot.

@JayWillettWBZ @wbznewsradio This made me laugh. You've brought a grin to this old man's face.

This one was a wild ride that took a couple days to straighten out. An update on the final fate of the Seaport's "Immortal Pothole."

[WBZ NewsRadio @wbznewsradio]

The MBTA shared a photo of a massive pothole in Seaport being fixed on Friday. A look at the Assessor's Office map showed the T owns a tiny strip of road at the end of the street.
