On Wednesday, in a live chat with readers, Times Editor Davan Maharaj talked about the front-page story on U.S. troops posing with body parts from Afghan suicide bombers. The story, and the two photos that accompanied it, outline how a…

a|And the Boston Criminal Lawyer Blog begins the week with a bit of horror out of Burlington, Massachusetts.

According to authorities, Christopher Plantedosi (hereinafter, the aDefendanta) was the featured player in this particular piece of massive ugliness. He is said to have pursued his ex-girlfriend, Kristen Pulisciano, into their daughteras bedroom and having stabbed her 34 times. The homicide was witnessed by someone who actually was not there.

The witness was someone with whom the daughter had been video chatting with on an iPad.

The details were delivered by the Commonwealth at the Defendantas arraignment yesterday in Woburn District Court. The prosecutor explained that said witness both saw and heard portions of the attack, including Ms. Pulisciano pleading, aChris, please stop, I love you,a and the Defendant saying, aYouare going to die.a

Ms. Puliscianoas body was found at about 6:45 p.m. Thursday at her home on Forbes Avenue.

Prosecutor Nicole Allain gave more gruesome details. She argued that the Defendant showed up at the home at 6 p.m., while the 15-year-old-daughter was in her bedroom video chatting on an iPad with a friend. The girl heard her parents arguing in the kitchen and went to see what was wrong. Seeing her father with a knife, she asked, aWhat, are you trying to kill Mom?a

The cold answer was forthcoming.

The Defendant then chased Ms. Pulisciano, who fled to her daughteras bedroom. The Defendant is said to have kicked down the door and attacked Ms. Pulisciano. The person the daughter had been video chatting with was still on the line as he plunged. It was not clear where the daughter was during the attack.

The Defendant is described as having used both a meat cleaver and a knife in the slaying, Allain said.

As background, the Commonwealth indicates that the Defendant and Ms. Pulisciano had a long-standing, live-in relationship that had recently become problematic. Over the course of their relationship, there had been prior allegations of violence made by Ms. Pulisciano against the Defendant. The Commonwealth also revealed that Ms. Pulisciano had tried to commit suicide in days prior to the attack and had been released from a mental health facility the day before the attack with prescriptions for antidepressants and sleeping pills.

Making the case just alittle more macabre, the Defendant was taken into custody at the Weston State Police barracks on Friday. At the time, he apparently had two handwritten notes describing details of the attack.

The Defendant was held without bail.

Attorney Samas Take On Domestic Violence, Murder And Insanity

In many ways, this seems to be the classic fact scenario which brought us to the point where we are today. I am referring to how serious any allegation, no matter how big or small, of domestic violence is treated by the Commonwealth. It is also why, in most cases, once the original complaint is made, prosecutors are extremely reluctant to drop charges when the complainant comes in and explains that she wants to withdraw the complaint.

Hey, I am only a mere Boston criminal lawyera|you canat expect me to know all the answers. That is what I rely on the media for to a certain extent.

For example, would be the best question to ask someone who has been in jail for about three years awaiting trial for murder and is now suddenly released because the Commonwealth has dropped the charges?

Fortunately, we have seasoned reporters who know just the penetrating question to ask. It turns out that the question is aHow does it feel to get your freedom back?a

Brilliant. It never would have occurred to me.

But, once again, I digress. Todayas topic is the matter which took place in Dedham late last week. In that case, two suspects in a gruesome murder have been released from their close to three years in custody. The charges against them have been withdrawn as the key prosecution witness in the case has now died.

When asked how the creative question mentioned above, namely, how it felt to be free, one of the men said, aWhy donat you put yourself in my place and figure it out for yourself.a
Daniel Bradley, 50-years-old, a former football coach at Xaverian High School and Paul Moccia, 57-years-old, a Mass Pike toll collector (hereinafter, the aDefendantsa) were accused in the 2009 murder of a 37-year-old Framingham man. According to law enforcement, the Defendants shot the man in order to avoid a $70,000 drug debt. The manas body was never found and authorities believe it had been dismembered at Bradleyas cement company and disposed of.

This past January, the prosecutionas key witness, Mocciaas brother, died of natural causes. Now, approximately three months later, the Norfolk District Attorney decided to withdraw the charges.

The Norfolk District Attorney Michael Morrissey said the case largely rested on the key witness but now that the witness is dead it is impossible for the government to sustain its burden of proof.

The case remains under investigation. The district attorney is asking anyone with information to come forward.

Attorney Samas Take On The Dismissal Of Homicide Charges

I tend to criticize district attorneys quite often in this blog. Therefore, allow me to jump at the chance to credit them where applicable. What the Commonwealth has done in dismissing these charges, rather than waiting for the trial date, is to honor its responsibility to do the “right thing”. It realized that there is no way it could make what lawyers call a “prima facie case”…and so it dimissed the charges.

aSo, Sam, does this mean that the Defendants have been exonerated?a

No. It means that the Commonwealth could not prove its case beyond a reasonable doubt at this time.a

aWhat do you mean aat this timeaa?

A phrase like “mad cow” is sure to whip up a media frenzy. When the USDA confirmed last week the first case of bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) in six years, news headlines were splashed with reports of “mad cow disease,” the informal and scarily evocative term for BSE. What got lost in these initial reports is that this case of BSE involves a different protein than previous epidemics in Europe, and there’s no evidence that this type isA transmissibleA to humans.

Nature News has a solid and thorough explanation of the science behind this case of BSE, known as L-type. As it happens in nature, mutations arise spontaneously, and L-type BSE is caused by a spontaneous mutation in a particular protein. A lot is still unknown about L-type, but we have never seen it spread through cow populations (or jump to humans) through ingestion. Previous BSE epidemics in Europe were spread by the admittedly gruesome practice of grinding up leftover cow parts and feeding them back to cows, but this has been long banned in the United States because of BSE. Critics have argued that there may still be indirect sources of cow protein …
