State Police assigned to the Norfolk DA's Office charged John Jeffries, the chair of the Dover Select Board, with 3 counts of witness intimidation and 2 gun charges in early October. Because of his recklessness 2 guns are now in the hands of unknown car thieves. He attempted to use his power to intimidate the Chief (who he hired) and 2 cops from charging him, so State Police charged him with 3 counts of witness intimidation. The charges were dropped less than a month later and the DA's Office is only saying that Jeffries "reached an agreement" with the Town of Dover, and it's in the "interest of justice" not to pursue charges. Can I reach an unspecified agreement with the Town of Holden to have my charges dropped? After all, my "crimes" mostly occurred in this town while I was doing my show and writing articles. How is it in the "pursuit of justice" to drop charges against Jeffries, but not me or the rubber ducky kingpin? Apparently rubber duckies are more dangerous than guns. This is what corruption looks like: https://tbdailynews.com/canton-coverup-part-442-norfolk-das-office-drops-witness-intimidation-and-gun-charges-against-dover-select-board-chairman-after-non-public-agreement-despite-threatening-3-cops/
In a major victory for the First Amendment a federal judge has ruled that many aspects of Auntie Bev's buffer zone violate the First Amendment, and that police were in the wrong when they arrested Erica Walsh, told Jason Grant he couldn't hold a bible quote, manhandled Tom Derosier for filming, and told Michael Bryant he couldn't walk in the buffer zone. The buffer zone still exists, but the Gestapo tactics from Sgt. Hardman inside of it are officially over. None of this would be possible without the hard work of Marc Randazza and the Center for Liberty. https://tbdailynews.com/2025/05/29/canton-coverup-part-516-federal-judge-reprimands-state-police-for-wrongly-enforcing-beverly-cannones-unconstitutional-buffer-zone/
