@VoteGregConnor You didn’t stand for Sandra Birchmore Greg so your holding violent offenders accountable is selective. No one wants a DA like that, esoecially one who touts his Catholic high school, undergrad and graduate education. Shame on you.

@MicheleMcPhee About the only thing they can say is that they didn’t care enough about her and her unborn child to do a real investigation. Blatant disregard for human life and we all know why. Protecting their pals was more important.

@GretchenVoss64 For full disclosure, shouldn’t you also clarify with your readers that there were no bouncy houses associated with anyone outside of the court house.

@signnin @brooklyn47361 Yes

@KYMaverickreal No stoning from me, that’s often said about psychiatry and psychology.

@KYMaverickreal @GlammaSooz I saw somewhere amitryptiline was prescribed about a week prior. No idea if she was taking it or not but if so could have been the tipping point. Interesting literature available.

@knittynattie It’s common. It means someone has made and is content in their decision.

@Pamelahaha123 @BostonDefender @sheetnwinch “Keep on a short leash” is an idiom. When used in regards to intimate male/female relationships it is actually more commonly used around a woman restrictioning a man’s behavior by keeping him on a short leash.

@TheYoungJurks Not sure about this week but soon the theme will be who played who after the accidental post on the wrong account this evening. A few people caught it before it was deleted.

@Case1034521625 People can’t really be this naive to believe that some of these people have really switched sides right??

[lansyl777 @lansyl777]

@OldMerIsDead People can’t just erase horrible things they’ve done. They may not partake it again but it will always be a part of who they are. A serial killer will always be a serial killer even if they never kill again. Never lose sight of who people really are.

@BostonDefender For true accountability, the *update should be at the beginning of the article and also addressed and corrected in separate posts from the original article posts by @GretchenVoss64 and @BostonMagazine for those who read the article prior to the update.

[David Yannetti @BostonDefender]

A primer on unethical reporting and the priorities of certain media:

Every publication prides itself on thorough, accurate and ethical reporting. A lot of work — and a system of checks and balances— is supposed to be put into place to hopefully ensure that a publisher will NEVER have to issue a correction. If someone takes issue with an article but the publisher has an out because there was some ambiguity, a publisher will take that “out” and do anything to avoid having to publish a correction.

Issuing a correction is a black eye to the reporter, certainly. It signals to future editors that she cannot be trusted. But it is also embarrassing to the editors and the publisher, who are forced to admit that they failed at their jobs as well.

So now we come to @GretchenVoss64’s agenda-driven hit piece in @BostonMagazine. People ask why someone would not grant an interview to a reporter like her. You don’t grant someone like that an interview because you would be giving an untrustworthy person control over your words. She’s not seeking the truth, she’s advancing her own narrative, irrespective of (and often contrary to) the truth. And given her lack of ethics, she will take a quote from you and publish it out of context to make it appear as though you said something that you didn’t. To try to make you look bad to advance her agenda.

As an aside, those dangers are exactly why any criminal defense attorney will advise a client never to speak to the police.

I chose not to speak with @GretchenVoss6 because I knew her to be untrustworthy. And sure enough, she was so blinded by her own bias that she took an old quote of mine out of context and made it appear as though I said something that I didn’t. In the process, of course, she unwittingly proved what her intentions would have been had I agreed to speak with her in the first place. And by doing so, she put her magazine in legal jeopardy. Shame on her.

You can bet that when @BostonMagazine received my demand for a correction, they panicked. They consulted with their legal department, who advised them that there was no “out.” They recognized that it was one of the strongest defamation claims that could exist, because @GretchenVoss64 acted with actual malice and there was zero defense to what she did. They were loathe to do it but they had no choice. They issued the correction and hoped that would put the issue to bed.

I’m told, however, that the print edition still exists. I haven’t decided yet whether to take any further action regarding that clear defamation. In addition, there are many other inaccuracies in her “article” (although I will likely leave it to others to demand those corrections). For now, it is just satisfying — once again — to have exposed corruption.

[lansyl777 @lansyl777]

@BostonDefender @KYMaverickreal @e93092_mc @BostonMagazine @BostonDefender right now the corrections are just an *update at the end of the article posted on social media platforms many might miss. @GretchenVoss64 and @BostonMagazine, for true accountability, should be posting corrections separately from the original article posts.

[lansyl777 @lansyl777]

@MassGovernor Yet you didn’t fight for justice for Sandra Birchmore and her unborn child. Where was your voice demanding Canton, MSP, NCDAO do the right thing? Disgraceful.

[lansyl777 @lansyl777]

@BostonMagazine @BostonMagazine you forgot to correct the mistruth surrounding the bouncy house…..
