Default or Dismissal? Why did Judge Gildea warn about It at the July 1, 2026 hearing in Plymouth Superior Court?

Many people watching the July 1 hearing questioned why Judge Gildea warned lawyers and parties that future violations of court orders could result in default or dismissal. The answer may lie in Rule 37 of the Massachusetts Rules of Civil Procedure.

Rule 37 governs sanctions when a party fails to comply with discovery-related orders. If a judge concludes that a party or attorney has violated an order governing the handling of discovery materials, Rule 37 authorizes a range of sanctions.

Those sanctions can range from relatively minor consequences to much more serious penalties, including limiting discovery, preventing the use of certain evidence, delaying proceedings, entering a default judgment, or dismissing a case entirely.

In Massachusetts, dismissal and default are considered the most severe civil sanctions available. Massachusetts appellate courts have repeatedly emphasized that such sanctions are reserved for extraordinary circumstances and generally require a showing of willfulness, bad faith, or other serious misconduct by a lawyer or party. Courts have often described these remedies as "draconian" because they effectively end a case without a decision on the merits.

When a judge expressly warns lawyers and parties that certain conduct will not be tolerated, the judge may be creating a record demonstrating that everyone was placed on notice of the potential consequences of future violations. If additional misconduct later occurs, that warning may become part of the record supporting more serious sanctions.

But there is another side to this discussion that should concern lawyers and non-lawyers alike.

If a court is creating a record that could later support severe sanctions, that record must ultimately be grounded in reliable evidence. That is why many who watched the hearing are troubled by the fact that attorneys were warned about alleged leaks without being told what specific evidence exists or why it is considered reliable.

Critical questions remain unanswered. What evidence does the court have? Who provided it? What evidence exists showing a lawyer or party disclosed it? What investigation was conducted to verify that the alleged leak involved protected discovery material (the impounded information) rather than information already in the public domain? And what opportunity will the affected parties and lawyers have to challenge that evidence on the record?

Warnings may be part of building a record but evidence is what ultimately supports it.

What are the odds that Michael Proctor sat for his deposition, started 2.5 hours late, allegedly suffered a panic attack, and ended the deposition early...

... and then the very next day, Judge Gildea says he received an email of an X post containing Proctor's medical information that had been posted WEEKS earlier?

Proctor depo: 6/25
Email to Judge Gildea: 6/26

Something stinks here 🤔

[Alison Motta @AlilawMotta]

Can we all now agree, Judge Gildea was the leak!!

[Aidan Kearney @DoctorTurtleboy]

How long until Proctor makes a burner account to leak more impounded information and get himself out of the next depo?

Today Judge Mark Gildea threatened to find Karen Read in default, and therefore liable for the death of Officer John O'Keefe, without a trial. He did so without a hearing or even allowing her attorneys to speak.

What's more, he instructed her attorneys to go back to their respective offices and prepare a document that would enable the Judge to enter that default through violation of a consent order, thus eliminating any possibility of an appeal or other recourse.

In effect, he directed Karen Read's attorneys to tie the noose by which the Court would hang her.

This is an absolute outrage. Not only shouldn't Ms. Read and her attorneys stand for it, her adversaries shouldn't stand for it either.

What an ATROCIOUS waste of the court’s and the parties’ time AND MONEY. Wow.

The joke about AJ at the beginning was particularly tasteless. Again, wow.

The Town of Canton has released the Internal Affairs report into Sgt. Sean Goode, and its findings are extensive.

The investigation began after the Norfolk District Attorney's Office notified Interim Chief Joseph Perkins on October 24, 2025, that text messages uncovered during the Michael Proctor investigation allegedly included Sgt. Goode. Chief Perkins was shown samples of the messages and voice recordings that same day and immediately placed Goode on paid administrative leave pending an investigation.

Investigators reviewed more than 200,000 text messages, photos, videos, voice notes, and memes recovered from Michael Proctor's phone. The data spanned more than a decade and included eight WhatsApp group chats, three of which included Sgt. Goode. They dated back as far as 2013 and continued through 2023.

According to the report, the material showed a repeated pattern of racist, misogynistic, antisemitic, homophobic, ableist, and otherwise offensive communications authored by Goode.

The report documents:
🔹️dozens of messages containing racial slurs and derogatory comments directed toward Black, Asian, Hispanic and other minority communities
🔹️nearly 30 messages targeting Jewish people, including repeated use of antisemitic stereotypes and slurs
🔹️repeated use of anti-gay slurs, derogatory comments about LGBTQ+ individuals, and language mocking sexual orientation
🔹️dozens of albeist messages mocking individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities, including repeated use of offensive slurs and images of people with Down syndrome to ridicule others during conversations

Goode also routinely referred to women using degrading language, shared sexually explicit images and videos, discussed women in graphic sexual terms, and made repeated comments that investigators characterized as displaying clear gender bias.

Beyond that, investigators concluded Goode shared sensitive law enforcement information with friends through these chats. He would routinely misuse his access to police databases and disseminate private information. Among the examples cited:
🔸️Discussing active police operations
🔸️Warning friends about an upcoming sobriety checkpoint so they could avoid it
🔸️Sharing details from police investigations
🔸️Running license plate and RMV queries on individuals for personal reasons

After these findings, the town scheduled an investigatory interview for May 27, 2026, and informed Goode he was required to appear. Instead, his attorney notified the Town that Goode would not attend.

Two days later, on May 29, 2026, Goode submitted his resignation effective June 2, 2026. Because he refused to participate in the interview, the investigator noted the Town could draw a negative inference regarding the allegations.

The report concludes there was sufficient credible evidence that Sgt. Sean Goode violated multiple Canton Police Department policies, including:
🔹️Unlawful discrimination and harassment
🔹️Conduct unbecoming an officer.
🔹️Code of conduct violations
🔹️Misuse of mobile data terminals and police databases
🔹️Dissemination of official information
🔹️Insubordination for refusing to attend his required investigatory interview

The investigator wrote that, had Goode remained employed, the violations would ordinarily warrant discipline "up to and including termination." Because he resigned before discipline could be imposed, the only remaining recommendation was to report the findings to the Massachusetts Peace Officer Standards and Training Commission (POST).

If this report is any indication.. we've only scratched the surface of what's still to come.

It is amazing how many truly awful police there were in Canton, and no one would have ever known if they hadn't gone after Karen Read.

[Defense Diaries @defense_diaries]

If you missed our discussion with Sean Ellis…who was the subject of the Netflix documentary Trial 4…you really should watch it.

Sean is one of the most compelling and inspirational people I have ever met and this discussion was incredible. We even discussed Karen Read. 😏

Yuri Bukhenik is currently on a cruise from Boston to Bermuda making a drunken fool of himself like he always does when he goes out in public. Here he is singing "Proud to be an American" in front of a crowd, despite the fact that he testified that he can barely speak English and his online postings show that his primary allegiance is to Ukraine. The fact that he does this so publicly on a cruise departing from Boston, not realizing that millions of people have seen what a corrupt cop he he is during the Karen Read trial and how he covered for the most racist cop in America, shows how oblivious he is to reality. Wherever these people go they are going to be recognized for all the wrong reasons. They will be branded with the stain of corruption for the rest of their lives.
