@sue.oconnell.nbcboston: Karen Read is back in the headlines with a new Netflix documentary coming November 23. Matthew Farwell was convicted on Tuesday of killing Sandra Birchmore and her unborn child. Two deaths in Canton, Massachusetts. Some of the same investigators. Serious questions about police accountability. But this isn't just a Massachusetts story. In Stoughton, police investigated misconduct within their own department. Federal investigators pursued the Birchmore case. In Canton, residents demanded an independent police audit—and got one. What about YOUR town? Three things you can do to help make sure your local police have the training, resources and oversight they need. Tell me where you live: Who oversees your local police department, and when was it last independently audited? #KarenRead #SandraBirchmore #MatthewFarwell #PoliceAccountability #TrueCrime @NBC10 Boston
Great post! We spend far too much time following our national leaders while our local officials go about their daily business with little attention.

I appreciate your coverage of these cases, and the respect you’ve put on the victims. All of them. You point out the bigger problem, and if it weren’t for journalists like you, they’d be doing what they want. Thank you Sue ❤️
