• Town of Wellesley commemorates 25th anniversary of Sept. 11 attacks (theswellesleyreport.com) — Wellesley residents, first responders, and town leaders gathered at Fire Department headquarters Friday morning to mark the 25th anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks and remember four local residents who were killed. Speakers, including Rabbi Moshe Bleich and Select Board chair Marjorie Freiman, stressed teaching younger generations about the day's sacrifices and keeping the town's annual remembrance ceremony strong even as attendance slowly declines. 
• Fox News True Crime Newsletter: Lindsay Clancy jurors, Bryan Kohberger's legal move, Menendez brothers hearing (commstrader.com subscription) — Residents of Wellesley are again thrust into the spotlight as the Lindsay Clancy trial ends in a mistrial, leaving the community and families in painful limbo over the deaths of three children. The newsletter also explores a similar Massachusetts case, plus high-profile trials nationwide, to examine how mental illness, public opinion, and the justice system collide in today's true-crime culture.
