Summary
Three stories today, and all three of them put a badge in the frame. In Lonoke County, Arkansas, a judge has dismissed the second-degree murder charge against Aaron Spencer — a father, and a candidate for sheriff — who admitted to shooting and killing the man accused of abusing his daughter. The case fell apart not on the facts, but because law enforcement lost a piece of evidence. In Boston, Officer Nicholas O'Malley has pleaded not guilty to killing a carjacking suspect named Stephenson King Jr. — and the attorney defending him is the same lawyer who defended Karen Read. And Karen Read herself is back, with a new lawsuit against the Massachusetts State Police and the Town of Canton that drags two officers' alleged private messages into the public record.
