Today's riddle: What do you call advice from a cow ? 🤔 (Answer below!)
• Top news: Man charged in Bridgewater woman's death; new movie theater (enterprisenews.com) — Several of this week's most-read stories hit close to Brockton, including tributes to Brockton resident Zirovick DePina, killed in a Taunton mass shooting, and coverage of an emotional local funeral. Another major piece details how Brockton spent over $440,000 responding to violence during Cabo Verde World Cup celebrations, while regional readers also followed a Taunton murder case and plans for a new Randolph movie theater.
• #1 NBA overall pick, Brockton native gives back to the community (boston25news.com) — A Brockton native newly drafted first overall in the NBA returned home this weekend to partner with local YMCAs in Brockton and Boston, handing out school supplies to students and teachers. Through his foundation, he's emphasizing education, reconnecting with former teachers, and telling Brockton kids he's committed to giving back even while taking online classes and starting his pro career.
• Psychosis evidence changes everything in Clancy judge's other killer mom case: retired judge (commstrader.com) — Brockton readers may recognize the name Latarsha Sanders, the Brockton mother whose conviction for killing her two sons was overturned because jurors never saw key psychiatric records. The state's highest court says those mental health files must be allowed at any retrial, reshaping how prosecutors and defense will argue over insanity in a case now returning to Plymouth Superior Court.
