Today's riddle: What do you call cows dancing in the dark 🤔 (Answer below!)
1. $500K suit against Quincy officers for excessive force heads to trial (patriotledger.com) — A $500,000 civil lawsuit accusing three Quincy police officers of using excessive force during a 2020 arrest is set for jury trial Monday in Norfolk Superior Court. Plaintiff Salim Balbaky, representing himself, says his shoulder and head were injured, while the officers deny wrongdoing and argue they used only necessary force.
2. Judge acquits man in Quincy murder trial before it ever goes to jury (patriotledger.com) — A Norfolk Superior Court judge has acquitted Derek Cardoso in the 2022 killing at Quincy's Elevation Apartments, ruling there was no evidence placing him at the scene. The decision ends the murder, robbery, home invasion, and kidnapping case before jurors could deliberate, though Cardoso remains held on an unrelated sex‑offender registration warrant.
3. Councillors Seek 'No Surprise' Government (thequincysun.com) — Quincy residents will see their City Council debate a new "no surprise" transparency resolution Tuesday night, aimed at ensuring major spending, surveillance, and debt decisions are disclosed before they're finalized. Councillors will also reopen the contentious issue of politicians' pay, seeking a more data-driven, public process after previously approved raises were repealed this summer.
4. New Quincy omakase sushi spot JūNi now has a liquor license (patriotledger.com) — Quincy sushi fans now have another option for a night out, as JūNi in Quincy Center has secured an all‑alcohol license just weeks after opening. The tiny Hancock Street omakase spot serves 12‑course chef's‑choice sushi sets Wednesday through Sunday evenings, with first‑come seating and potential waits during peak hours.
5. Arlene J. Savage, 67 (thequincysun.com) — Quincy is mourning the loss of 67‑year‑old Arlene J. Savage, a Quincy High graduate and mother of seven who died Tuesday surrounded by family. Raised in Quincy and laid to rest at Pine Hill Cemetery in West Quincy, she is remembered as a devoted homemaker, grandmother of eleven, and loving sister to a large local family.
