Man convicted in decades-old murder of teen girl in Malden

Published Mon, 24 Feb 2025 01:47:55 GMT

A man has been convicted of first-degree murder in connection with the fatal shooting of 17-year-old Patricia Moreno in Malden in 1991, officials announced.After a six-day trial, Rodney Daniels was convicted of Moreno’s murder, Middlesex District Attorney Marian Ryan and Malden Police Chief Glenn Cronin said.“When a family loses a loved one in a homicide, even the passage of time never fully heals that wound. That is especially true when they do not have answers about what happened and no one has been held accountable,” Ryan said in a statement. “Those who knew and loved Tricia have been waiting over three decades for answers. When I created our Cold Case Unit, it was my hope that we would be able to get to these resolutions.” In addition to conducting new interviews, investigators also learned that an alibi witness, who protected Daniels in 1991, later admitted to friends and family that Daniels had killed Tricia and concealed the weapon in an armchair...

Special prosecutor appointed in Kendra Lara car crash case as councilor pursues dismissal

Published Mon, 24 Feb 2025 01:47:55 GMT

A special prosecutor has been named to oversee Kendra Lara’s car crash case just as the city councilor moved to toss the charges claiming she was not served a citation at the scene.Worcester Assistant District Attorney Joel Luna was tapped by the Suffolk District Attorney’s office as the prosecutor in the case because the wife of William King, an opponent of Lara’s in the upcoming municipal elections, works in the city DA’s office, a spokesman told the Herald.“We just felt that because there was a connection between one of her opponents and our office, we just thought it would be advisable to have a special prosecutor appointed,” Suffolk DA spokesman James Borghesani said.Borghesani said the Suffolk DA’s office uses special prosecutors “quite a bit” whenever there is a conflict like an employee having a relationship with someone who is connected to a case.“So nothing unusual for a special prosecutor,” he said.A spokesman for the Worcester DA’s office declined to co...

Patriots-Packers joint practices Day 1: Ezekiel Elliott debuts, offense hobbled by 13 sacks in Green Bay

Published Mon, 24 Feb 2025 01:47:55 GMT

GREEN BAY, Wis. — Bill O’Brien’s offense was finally in full, glorious view Wednesday morning under a baby blue Wisconsin sky.Motions, fakes and Mac Jones at the controls, whipping darts that punctured holes in Green Bay’s soft zone coverage. Temperatures climbed into the mid-80s, as the Patriots went head-to-head with the Packers over their first of two joint practices. Jones sizzled.He started 8-of-12 in team periods, calm and confident with a full complement of weapons and quarterback tools. He changed tempo, plays and targets. Then, the machine slowed down. Pieces fell off.Penalties, sacks and a second near interception sent the offense in reverse. Jones’ 2-minute drill ended with Bill Belichick reaming him out for a situational error. After two-plus hours, the Patriots had probbaly practiced the Packers to a draw on both sides of the ball, but the shaky foundation of O’Brien’s offense — its line — had reinforced major concer...

Mac Jones trying to ‘chase the standard’ Tom Brady set with Patriots

Published Mon, 24 Feb 2025 01:47:55 GMT

GREEN BAY, Wisc. — Let’s be honest: Patriots-Packers joint practices would have carried more gravitas if they were held four years ago.Since that time, Tom Brady left the Patriots, joined the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and then retired, and Aaron Rodgers was traded from the Packers to the New York Jets. And now two young quarterbacks — the Patriots’ Mac Jones and the Packers’ Jordan Love — are stuck living in the shadows of two of the greatest quarterbacks in NFL history.Jones, who never actually played with Brady, since he was drafted a year after Brady left for the Buccaneers, was asked if he would have any advice for Love about replacing a living legend.Related ArticlesNew England Patriots | Patriots left tackle Trent Brown feeling “great” in return to practice field New England Patriots | Patriots already excited about ‘special things’ Ezekiel Elliott can bring New England Patriots | ...
