New from @GlobeSpotlight: A state official gave a grant to two young developers who sold him a house. Then came the shoddy work and fake invoices.

A Middlesex County grand jury indicted Dr. Derrick Todd on charges that he sexually assaulted 11 patients.

[The Boston Globe @BostonGlobe]

Our earlier investigation revealed widespread police misconduct around confidential informants in New Bedford.

Now we're looking across Massachusetts. What we found: Instead of safeguarding against informant abuse, prosecutors enable it. https://t.co/fsa6odWo75

[Joey Flechas @joeflech]

A ‘black box’: Mass. prosecutors rarely prevent police informant abuse. They often enable it.

[The Boston Globe @BostonGlobe]

Across Mass., nearly 9 of 10 drug raids are carried out on the word of confidential informants whose identities are known only to police.

If suspicions arise about their reliability, prosecutors can be counted on to protect police, @GlobeSpotlight found. https://t.co/mzKivgHZrG

Does your doctor have a history of medical malpractice?

As part of a @GlobeSpotlight investigation, we built a lookup tool to make doctor discipline, malpractice, and criminal records accessible to the public. Here's how to use it. https://t.co/R4OEr4bxGo

[John Hancock @Hancock_JohnD]

2/ Accompanying the piece was a tool using data gathered by @DavidANickerson and @neena_hagen allowing users to view the malpractice, disciplinary and criminal history of doctors in Massachusetts: https://t.co/M5ym0WeQlE

1/ The @GlobeSpotlight team published part 2 of Standards of Care, which looks at how the Massachusetts board of medicine is failing the public by protecting neglectful doctors. @bostonglobe https://t.co/3VW6p5LXwJ

[Boston Globe Spotlight Team @GlobeSpotlight]

What happens when a patient — who alleges harm by a doctor — files a complaint with the Mass. board of medicine?

It's not always clear. Their handling of complaints is a secretive process. More and more, they're protective of doctors. https://t.co/WnGDRMsAxt

[The Boston Globe @BostonGlobe]

A doctor's negligence led to a woman's amputation. When discipline came, it was light — and a decade late.

@GlobeSpotlight found this is often how the state's medical board runs. Its process is secretive. And its actions increasingly protect doctors. https://t.co/8OVLhw3WbJ

Caught in the politics of the moment was Franklin, one of countless American cities where the supply chain does not begin, but ends, in the veins of people like Bill May.

[Steven Porter @reporterporter]

The DEA's special agent in charge for New England claimed 171 "high-level arrests" of suspected Sinaloa Cartel members (including in Franklin) — but a @GlobeSpotlight investigation found the DEA misrepresented the stature of its targets. https://t.co/GOGkXBgkBB 🔦

[The Boston Globe @BostonGlobe]

A US Drug Enforcement Administration agent said the DEA made “high-level arrests” of 171 Sinaloa Cartel members across New England in August.

A Globe investigation found that many of the DEA’s targets were addicts, shoplifters, and homeless people. https://t.co/ymj2hkkZhn
