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.

If I’m Alan Jackson I’m doing a TV media blitz about the Farwell verdict and all those cop crossovers with the Read case. If I’m David Yanetti I’m doing the same, except I’m sitting down with the Spotlight team to take down the whole machine.

"Its preposterous and silly to say Farwell did this. The conspiracy would take 30-50 people, you'd have to have multiple cops from 3 different agencies, multiple civilians, the medical examiner, EMTs, you name it"
The Norfolk District Attorney’s Office just released a statement following Matthew Farwell’s conviction for killing Sandra Birchmore and her unborn child.
Part of the statement reads: “Its ability to prosecute was constrained by the finding of the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner that the manner of death was suicide.”
It is important to add context. During opening statements in Farwell’s trial, Assistant U.S. Attorney Torey Cummings told the jury that Massachusetts State Police troopers assigned to the Norfolk DA’s Office:
“very quickly told others, including the medical examiner, that this was definitively a suicide and there was no foul play. They told the medical examiner, no need to treat this death as suspicious.”

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.
Chills.
Sandra Birchmore's family commenting on the Matthew Farwell guilty verdict.
"We want to thank the FBI for picking ip the Stoughton IA report and rigorously investigating Sandra's death when the Massachusetts State Police would not.
We want to thank the U.S. Attorneys for rigorously prosecuting her killer when the Norfolk County District Attorney Mike Morrissey and the Norfolk County Prosecutor Lynn Beland would not."
Justice for Sandra Birchmore. 🙏🏻

It's really great that Sandra Birchmore got justice today when Matthew Farwell was convicted of murdering her. But the bigger story is that these law enforcement officials all actively provided cover for him and allowed the predator to roam free for 3.5 years. In any other line of work they would all be fired and never work again. Never let them forget the stain of Sandra Birchmore. Wherever they go, remind them. Point them out, and let the world know that these are the men who provided cover for a convicted child raping murderer, simply because he was a cop. Cops are allowed to murder in Norfolk County.

Where but Norfolk County would you see a DA press release addressing a horrible crime which only (a) self-servingly defends its own conduct and (b) blames the medical examiner--who relied on the state police findings and investigation--in addressing a federal conviction of a police officer/murderer who framed his victim for her own death after the state deliberately opted against conducting a proper investigation. Disgraceful statement.

I'd like to see a network or major paper journalist ask the U.S. Attorney's office if we should be looking for more fallout from the Farwell trial and the many things revealed in it. They will say "no comment," but it needs to be asked.

🚨 GUILTY ON BOTH COUNTS: Federal jury has convicted former Stoughton Police Officer Matthew Farwell of murdering Sandra Birchmore and causing death of her unborn child.

No offense, Massachusetts, but what is your problem?
Every other trial I have watched all around this country and the jury 9 times out of 10 can come to a unanimous verdict quickly.
But NOT IN MASSACHUSETTS!!!
First #KarenRead trial… Hung Jury
#LindsayClancy trial… Hung Jury
#MatthewFarwell… Hung Jury
Are you people just incredibly stubborn or is the corruptions there so significant that a jury of peers is a thing of the past in that state?
The amount of tax payer money WASTED on these trials alone is enough to make me consider moving out of Massachusetts if I lived there. And being a woman there?!? Nope!
And God so HELP ME if @DoctorTurtleboy gets convicted but Matthew Farwell gets to walk free. I don’t even live in Massachusetts, but I will fly up there just to protest that.
I’m pissed for you people! And I’m pissed for #SandraBirchmore!

The Sun put its entire trust into Thomas Markle Jr in the newspaper's plot to work with Meghan Markle to destroy her father.
Problem is that their star source is now a "person of interest" in the Philippines investigation.
The whole thing stinks to high heaven.

This is newsworthy. Former U.S. Attorney and D.A. Rachael Rollins has been subpoenaed in the defamation case filed by the McCabes, Alberts, and Brian Higgins against Karen Read and @DoctorTurtleboy - these plaintiffs are the folks who were inside 34 Fairview the night Boston police officer John O’Keefe was killed. (Karen Read was acquitted for his murder, in case you hadn’t heard.)

I love how Michael Proctor is just running around out there pleading the fifth and absolutely no one in law enforcement has any intellectual curiosity to find out what crime he doesn’t want to incriminate himself about.
Well Well Well... Jury Selection for the Lance Holloman Trial begins tomorrow in Suffolk Co after a 9 year wait!... BUT look who gets to pled the 5th🚨... #michaelproctor Holloman is being represented by the infamous Rosemary Scapicchio. Will this trial push back Aidan Kearney's trial???? #pleadthe5th #Holloman The I-93 Shooting: He is accused of opening fire on a motorcycle on Interstate 93 (Southeast Expressway), killing Scott M.

Ohhh you mean to tell me this; it’s NOT proper protocol for a victims clothing to be stored in a bag, inside an “investigators” car?? You mean.. there are secure areas for such items?? WOAAHHHH

"So, let me ask you this, you processed the body and returned it to the bag, where does the clothing bag go next?"
"It stays with the decedent."
"Where does the decent stay?"
"They get placed into our cooler."
"What about personal property like a watch?"
"It goes into an envelope and then into our secure evidence locker."

"Now, Ms. Bulger, I want to focus your attention on that pendent on the right side of Ms. Birchmore's body. Exhibit 37. Did you see that pendent on Ms. Birchmore's body on Feb 1, 2021?"
"I did not."
"Because you would have taken it with you if you saw it?"
"Yes, if it was physically on the decent, it would be taken into our custody."
"So you didn't notice it there and so you didn't take it into your custody."
"Correct."
Long pause for effect.
Someone altered that crime scene.
