Watch the full coverage of the live stream on The Emily D. Baker YouTube channel: https://youtu.be/MgpPkl4Cb48  In MA v. Myles King hearing regarding a defense motion to dismiss, court proceedings addressed evidentiary disputes and witness testimony involving District Attorney Adam Lally. The court clarified that an undisclosed Ring camera video was a separate 10-second clip recorded an hour before the homicide, rather than an edited snippet taken directly from the 2-minute-and-1-second grand jury exhibit. Lally testified that he had no prior knowledge of former Trooper Michael Proctor's racist communications and stated he would have recommended Proctor's removal from the case had he known. The judge limited further questioning of Lally about Proctor's voicemails since Lally had never heard them, suggesting instead that the parties stipulate to submitting the thumb drive directly to the court for review.

Because the missing witness can no longer be interviewed, these incurable disclosure failures present significant prejudice to the defense and complicate the pending motion to dismiss.

Baker YouTube channel: https://youtu.be/iHGmKM6QNjw  Former Massachusetts State Police Trooper Michael Proctor was scheduled to testify at a hearing regarding a motion to dismiss in the Myles King murder case, but unexpectedly exercised his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination after a private sidebar with the judge. Defense attorney Rosemary Scapicchio expressed frustration over the sudden reversal, as Proctor's lawyer had previously indicated he would testify. Scapicchio argued that Proctor's lead role in the investigation tainted the case due to explicit racial bias demonstrated in his text messages, asserting this constitutes structural error warranting dismissal. The court order addressed discovery delays and police bias, mandating that remaining testimonies—including continued cross-examination of Attorney Adam Lally and statements from Milton police officers—proceed under narrow focus, with several witnesses submitting evidence via affidavit.
