![This prosecutor should be ashamed of himself for promoting such a fundamental mischaracterization of a defense attorney’s duties. Yesterday, in his closing argument in the trial of #EdrickFaust, elected district attorney Kalki Yalamanchili boldly stated that the defendant’s lawyer, Ahmad Crews, has the duty of “[making] sure, regardless of what the evidence is, that he does everything he possibly can to walk Mr. Faust out that door - even though he murdered Tara Baker.” This was (correctly) objected to immediately by Mr. Crews, but what Judge Lisa Lott did to remedy the statement remains unclear. Let me make this clear: defense lawyers are only under obligation to the Constitution. They are not intended to indiscriminately fight for the outcome of a client. They are, just as any other attorney, prohibited from fabricating evidence or information to mislead the court or a jury. Their job is to ensure the prosecution lawfully, and following rules of due process, proves its case beyond a reasonable doubt. Part of their job is to call into question the strength of the evidence against their clients, but not through stooping to the level of deception. The zealous defense of a client cannot be equated with immoral advocacy. It does not mean excusing crime, ignoring facts, or endorsing violence. Undermining and demonizing that role by portraying counsel as morally corrupt for doing his job pressures jurors to effectively punish defendants for the stigma associated with having defense counsel. If there are mistakes, prejudices, conflicts of interest, or any other reason to lose faith in an investigation, a defense attorney’s job is to bring it to the surface and hold the government to account rather than allow a defendant to be steamrolled into a wrongful conviction. Mr. Yalamanchili’s suggestion that defense counsel exists to defeat justice “regardless of the evidence” is an attack on the very elements of the justice he purportedly believes in…but he knows this already. #FreeEdrickFaust #JusticeforTaraBaker #Georgia](https://image.24vids.com/tw-2022772360667967536/amplify_video_thumb/2022772301993840640/img/zHnndWMexQU0OrBz.jpg)

It took approximately eight and a half minutes for the MSP to get Chris Albert to sign a consent form and hand over his phone in their interview investigating Michael Proctor’s relationship with the Alberts. He got “uneasy” about it several times, asked about his potential level of liability, pulled his collar, and quickly slid the phone to the investigators while saying “Fine, fine.” Completely normal. 🙄 The segment I have attached here is set to roughly 1.65 speed, so I was able to get it to about five minutes. Also, the investigators found no messages with Proctor, even though Chris repeatedly referenced text messages with him coordinating Colin’s interview. It sounds like they can find the delete button a lot better than they can find the “dial” and “end call” buttons. *From TCCFiles on YouTube*

Rosemary Scapiccio has stepped up for more than her own clients - she is carrying the torch for every defendant and every convicted person whose investigation may have been tainted by Michael Proctor and other LEOs who share his bigotry. 🔥 SHE is the reason we have his additional messages (the ones that were worse than we even imagined), and she may even be fighting to get wrongfully convicted individuals out of prison who don’t even know or understand how much she is doing for them. Rosemary Scapicchio: THANK YOU for your unyielding advocacy, and thank you for your passion in protecting the rights afforded to EVERY citizen by our Constitution! 🙏🏼

Listen to what Rosemary Scapiccio says here…⬇️ Before she ever received information from his phone, Proctor was allowed to go through the phone for “privileged” material “with his wife.” Then, prior to being turned over to Rosemary Scapicchio, the Norfolk DA’s office ran another search on the phone for other privileged material. That means that Michael Proctor was the FIRST POINT OF FILTRATION before handing it off to the same DA who had already spent years protecting him. ❌ This reminds me of when Jen McCabe was allowed to quickly delete messages (if it really is just messages) that SHE deemed to be private before turning it in when Karen Read was being investigated/prosecuted. What if Brian Walshe was allowed to pick through his own phone before giving it to investigators? What else has Proctor said about Aidan Kearney, for that matter? What is the purpose of data collection if you allow the person under the microscope to remove what he pleases before “opening the kimono?” What did Proctor remove from his device? And furthermore, what did the Norfolk Coumty DA’s office sift out of it? We need full transparency at this point, and not just with Proctor. We need to know who else in the MSP has abused their power, and what defendants/convicts have been railroaded in the process.

Mark Bederow’s very first footnote in this week’s filing is putting everyone on notice that despite all the noise about Michael Proctor as of late, we still have not forgotten about Yuri Bukhenik. We have not forgotten about the Rubber Duck scandal of Canton. We have not forgotten that Bukhenik showed up at the homes of multiple women to threaten them with arrest and criminal charges for their speech on social media. Bukhenik’s abuse of power deserves the same amount of scrutiny as Proctor’s does, especially when looking at his actions through the lens of the First Amendment. Putting aside the Karen Read case entirely, Bukhenik had just as much of a part as Proctor did in the specific targeting against Aidan Kearney, who currently faces every indictment for which the Norfolk County DA’s office can attempt to justify. Despite anyone’s claims, Bukhenik and Proctor are the left and right hand of the same body. Bukhenik played an active role in a portion of the damning texts that have been uncovered from Proctor’s cell phone. He also said anything he needed to (whether true or otherwise) to protect Proctor on the witness stand. Was Bukhenik’s sworn statement that Proctor operated with “honor and integrity” purely motivated by the protection of Michael Proctor, or was it, in part, to shield himself? To repeat some of Mr. Bederow’s “free legal advice” toward anyone associated with Proctor’s abysmal conduct (from Justice Served): GET AHEAD OF IT, DO THE RIGHT THING, AND COME CLEAN. ☀️ The public should not feel that the biggest threat to their communities comes from the same people who have sworn to serve & protect them. It is well past time to find out just how deep the scandal of the Norfolk County DA’s office goes.

Cosgrove (amidst arguing whether he has a conflict with the NCAO): “I’d like to comment on the credibility of the other side in this case. MY ATTENTION WAS BROUGHT TO A VIDEO RECORDING on March 18, 2025 - second trial of Karen Read.” WHO, Cosgrove?! Who brought this to your attention? Was it the district attorney, with whom you are trying to show you have no conflict? Thank you to The Trial Channel for putting together this footage! 👏🏼

There it is. 🥹 Case closed for #KarenRead today. Jackson finally put a picture in front of Officer Barros and asked if the tail light looked like THAT when they took possession of it. His answer: “Absolutely not.” Thank you, Barros, for your honesty! #FreeKarenRead #KarenReadTrial

CORRUPT! 🚨 The Commonwealth, according to Bradyl, told Martha Coakley that that they did not intend to ask for Kelsey to serve more time in jail had she been convicted. If they TRULY believed that she had fired at a police officer, do you think they would have been content enough to only ask for time served & maybe probation as a sentence? This gives me the impression that the entire prosecutorial pursuit, the tax dollars, Kelsey’s pretrial detention, etc. was disingenuous and politically driven. What a waste! From tonight’s interview on Aidan Kearney with Kelsey Fitzsimmons and Attorney Tim Bradyl. 💜🦋💜 #JusticeForKelseyFitzsimmons

There is already SO much to dissect in Kelsey Fitzsimmons’ very first media interview with Aidan Kearney happening now, but the first thing I want to mention is this: the DA’s office reportedly didn’t turn over Lt. Daley’s report until AFTER he had finished testifying! What is going on in Massachusetts when it comes to discovery?! 🤯 Stop what you’re doing to watch the rest of this interview! 👏🏼 #JusticeForKelseyFitzsimmons #JusticeForKelsey 💜🦋💜

![You might have heard me mention in previous fundraisers for #KelseyFitzsimmons that I had questions about Officer Noonan’s position with his employment, stemming primarily from local news reports of him being on and off active duty. Today, we received some answers via the defense’s motion: “After shooting his colleague, [Noonan] was immediately placed on ‘Critical Incident Leave’ from June 30 through August 27, 2025. Upon returning to work, Officer Noonan resumed full-time duties… On or about January 11, 2026, Officer Noonan failed to report for his scheduled shift and was deemed AWOL. Officers responded to his residence for a well-being check after phone calls went unanswered. Officer Noonan eventually answered the door and stated he had taken Flexeril [a muscle relaxer often used for short-term management of pain] and did not wake up for work. Despite this he received only a written reprimand. He was placed back on Critical Incident Leave effective January 17, 2026. *He has continued to be permitted to work paid detail assignments while on leave.* To defense counsel's knowledge, working paid details while on such leave is highly uncommon, if not unprecedented. In fact, the North Andover Police Department's Collective Bargaining Agreement states ‘A Patrol Officer on limited/light duty shall not be eligible for details or overtime…’ The continuation of paid employment benefits following an AWOL incident raises serious questions regarding preferential treatment and whether employment protections are tied, directly or indirectly, to Officer Noonan's role in this prosecution.” Not only is there NO question that Noonan is benefiting from some sort of favoritism, but it also is clear that the police force is turning a blind eye to continued behavioral issues since June 30, which may even include drug abuse, from what we have seen today. The district attorney’s office and the North Andover PD have a LOT of explaining to do if they have any hope of maintaining public trust. I’ll share thoughts on the actions of Justin (and the inaction of the DA) once I digest things a little more. 💜🦋💜 #FreeKelseyFitzsimmons #JusticeForKelsey #Massachusetts](https://image.24vids.com/tw-2027121608393978158/amplify_video_thumb/2027121472020295681/img/lCgd24bkaF_9lnHe.jpg)

Ahmad Crews: “Not here, not now — not on OUR watch… You folks are the LAST LINE of defense between an innocent man and a system that has tried to break him.” 🇺🇸 Bias has no place in a criminal investigation! Free Edrick Faust! #EdrickFaust #TaraBaker #Georgia
