Your community deserves a fearless Chief that serves with integrity and doesn’t fold to the pressure of bad faith actors and that is what you had with Chief Donna McNamara. She deserves to be reinstated.
Karen Read is Still Innocent
A new @netflix documentary called "The Trials of Karen Read" drops November 23 and the trailer contains all the usual suspects, the prosecution "expert" witnesses and even Jen McCabe.
They are clearly going to frame Karen's innocence around public outcry and of course, "conspiiiiiiiiracyy theorists."
There were easily 1,000 holes in this case and everybody knew it.
I can't wait to absolutely cook every clip from this SLOPumentary and I better see clips of myself going absolutely nuts on socials during the trial featured in this doc.
All any of us ever wanted was justice for John O'Keefe and until they face the reality that an SUV doesn't create dog bites and surveillance footage doesn't just flip itself backwards, the truth will never be told.
Many of the people carrying out the investigation have been fired, the crime scene wasn't protected and then tail light fragments magically showed up. Then they hired outside help to prosecute the case, spent a ton of money and he got absolutely smoked.
Karen Read is innocent and everybody knows it.
Jess Machado the fueling the rumors that J7 is improperly accessing random people’s personal information yesterday. With friends like Machado who needs enemies 😂 Is she trying to get her reported so she’ll have more content? Weird thing to say about your “best friend”.
Melissa "Mizzy" Berry of Justice for Sandra Birchmore told NewsNation’s @JesseWeberLive she doesn’t buy the Norfolk DA’s reason for never bringing state charges against Matthew Farwell. A federal jury convicted him Tuesday of killing Birchmore and her unborn child.
Michael Morrissey’s attempt to deflect blame onto the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner for his decision not to file murder charges against Matthew Farwell, is a masterclass in bureaucratic cowardice and utter tone-deafness. Claiming his office was 'constrained' by the initial suicide finding completely insults the intelligence of the public.
As District Attorney, Morrissey had the resources, the authority, and the fundamental duty to hire independent experts when the evidence surrounding Sandra Birchmore’s death so clearly demanded a deeper look—something the family and federal investigators successfully managed to do without his help.
Instead of taking accountability for an egregious failure of local justice, he chose to pass the buck.
Morrissey deserves every shred of criticism he is receiving, and it is entirely fitting that he leaves office in absolute disgrace. That's how he will be remembered, no matter how many self-serving statements he makes.
Another horrendous black eye for the Norfolk County District Attorney’s Office.
To be clear, there are good, ethical attorneys within that office. I still deal with many of them on a daily basis, mostly in the district courts.
But the current district attorney, and his former first assistant, both named by the Birchmore family, consistently showed poor judgment. They have negatively impacted so many lives and they have once again been appropriately exposed.
Congratulations to @DMAnews1 for a job well done. And prayers for the Birchmores.
The utmost Respect and Bravery to Mizzy!
The driving force of Justice for Sandra Birchmore!
Her advocacy was unmatched and Justice was Served!

@SandraBirchmore
I will eternally be grateful for the work of these 3 Federal prosecutors on Sandra Birchmore's case: Liz Riley, Brian Fogerty, and Torey Cummings.
I have spoken a lot about these three and what I noticed in the courtroom.
Fogerty is insanely intelligent and beautifully is able to think on his toes when he is being intensely challenged with objections. He never lost his cool even when being thrown with a myriad of senseless motivations by the defense team.
Cummings was such a light for the team. Her kindness, caring and "Elle Woods" walk was a joy to witness during emotionally-taxing testimony. She ultimately leads with her heart and you could see her passion for this case. Plus she literally has *the best* hair. 😅
And Riley... there isn't enough I could say about her. A bulldog. A force to be reckoned with. Her cross-examination of the defense's last witness was a sight to see. She is the perfect example of a leader and I genuinely adored seeing her take Sandra's story and put it to life.
I don't believe we could have had a better team to make sure the jury understand what happened to Sandra. They took on this case - amongst a time when state police and the Norfolk County District Attorney’s office pushed back - and actually listened to her loved ones. Multiple witnesses tips were ignored locally but the Feds stepped up.
This team took these same tips, dug deep and was able to come out on top. No drama. No scheming behind the scenes. Simply pure, thorough investigation that ended in a "guilty" verdict against Matthew Farwell.
If any of you ever see this, thank you for your hard work. The stressful moments and sleepless nights I am sure you all had was worth it.
Finally, almost 6 years later, we have justice for Sandra.
It's about damn time. 🩵🫶
