No more trial exhibits/evidence will be released publicly in the Matthew Farwell trial. Traditionally, as trials are public, so are most exhibits. The Judge ruled this morning that no more exhibits may be posted online by either party until a verdict is rendered.

The jury heard a fourth day of testimony in the Matthew Farwell trial. The former Stoughton, Massachusetts, police officer is charged with killing 23-year-old Sandra Birchmore and her unborn baby more than five years ago.
The prosecution said Farwell strangled Birchmore and staged it as a suicide. He was charged in 2024. CBS News' Tom Hanson breaks down what happened in court on Friday.

Police and the FBI were back at the so-called "house of horrors" in Philadelphia's Olney neighborhood on Thursday, sifting for human remains in the investigation into suspected serial killer Raymond "R.C." Horsch, who died last year.
Seven cases of missing women are believed to be tied to this house, where Horsch's son, who is now in police custody, also lived.
CBS News' @thomasrhanson has more from the scene. cbsn.ws/3W8JYtm

Testimony began Tuesday in the trial of Matthew Farwell, the former Stoughton, Massachusetts, police officer accused of killing Sandra Birchmore and her unborn baby, CBS News’ Tom Hanson @thomasrhanson reports.

Sandra Birchmore was exploited for years by former Massachusetts police officer Matthew Farwell, according to Lauren Andrews, the mother of one of Birchmore's closest friends. "It was grooming," Andrews told CBS News.
Prosecutors allege Farwell began sexually abusing Birchmore when he was 27 and she was 15.
Years later, prosecutors allege Farwell strangled Birchmore and staged her death to look like a suicide after she told him she was pregnant and believed he was the father. In a court filing, the defense said DNA testing confirmed Farwell was not the father. He has pleaded not guilty to murder charges.

Massive waves crash into Brant Rock, Massachusetts, as a powerful nor’easter continues to lash parts of the U.S. East Coast, CBS News’ @thomasrhanson reports.

A slow-moving, powerful storm crept along the coast of the U.S. Northeast on Saturday, producing high winds that knocked out electricity to thousands while whipping up big waves and heavy rains that created dangerous conditions in some places.
Tens of millions of people were in the path of the nor'easter, which was forecast to affect the mid-Atlantic area and New England throughout the weekend. Around 100,000 customers in the region were without electricity Saturday. CBS News' @thomasrhanson has more.

Leadership interviews help get the word out about the outstanding work your Sailors do. Below is @GW_CVN73 SUPPO talking about a replenishment at sea (RAS).
He stayed well within his lane & scope—it was a class act watching him speak with @CBSNews reporter @thomasrhanson, without notes, walk through what 100s of Sailors are a part of each RAS so that 5,000 Sailors are taken care of.

CBS News’ @thomasrhanson went aboard the USS Shoup and the USS George Washington in the Arabian Sea for a look at U.S. naval operations in the war with Iran.
From the destroyer’s missile systems to the aircraft carrier’s nighttime flight operations, sailors described the demands of their mission and the challenges of living at sea as the war enters its seventh month.
Tom Hanson retweeted
The USS George Washington recently replaced the USS Abraham Lincoln in the Middle East, quickly becoming the backbone of the U.S. operation against Iran. CBS News' @thomasrhanson spoke with some of the sailors on board.

Many thanks to @Thomasrhanson and Seiji for coming out to @GW_CVN73.

The USS George Washington, with its approximately 5,000 personnel, fighter jets and munitions, is the backbone of the U.S. military's tactical operation in the Iran war, as well as a primary target of the Tehran regime.
A CBS News crew was taken aboard the aircraft carrier this week to get an exclusive look at its latest mission, supporting the U.S. war against Iran from its position in the Arabian Sea near the critical Strait of Hormuz: "We're here to do the mission however long it takes and wherever that takes us."
