NBC10 Boston chief legal analyst Michael Coyne joins the show to discuss what happens now.
With less than three weeks to go before the scheduled trial date, a clearer picture of the tactics the state and defense may use has continued to emerge through these kinds of pre-trial legal skirmishes. NBC10 Boston chief legal analyst Michael Coyne joins us to go through the latest filings.
A law enforcement source tells us Brian Walshe was stabbed in Norfolk County Jail and rushed to a Boston hospital Thursday night. He's said to be back at the facility now. We're breaking down what we know.
The crimes that Brian Walshe is accused of committing in the disappearance and alleged murder of his wife, Ana Walshe, have been well documented. But what about the man Brian is outside of the murder case? That's what Boston Magazine contributing editor Wyndham Lewis set out to uncover when he began his investigation into Walshe over two years ago, who he learned had an active social life in the Boston restaurant scene, and was known for throwing lavish and expensive dinner parties. Lewis joins our show for the first episode of season 2, revealing new insights into the lives of the Walshes and also how he was able to uncover so much of their past.
In a significant win for prosecutors, the presiding judge over the Brian Walshe murder case has almost entirely sided with the Commonwealth in the defense's bid to have key digital evidence thrown out. We're unpacking what this means for the upcoming trial.
Brian Walshe was back in the courtroom on July 24, as his defense lawyers fight his indictment for first degree murder. NBC10 Boston chief legal analyst Michael Coyne helps us to break down what this means for the case, still scheduled for trial in October.
The legal battle over critical digital evidence in the Ana Walshe murder case is intensifying as Brian Walshe's lawyers argue that police stepped out of line when obtaining the alleged Google searches about how to dispose of a body. Could the mistrust in Norfolk County law enforcement seen in the Karen Read trial help the Walshe defense team?
Brian Walshe spent two days in court this week as his lawyers worked to try and have the explosive Google search evidence that's been used in the murder case against him tossed. The lawyers questioned several investigators — many of them familiar from the Karen Read trial.
In today's episode, NBC10 Boston's chief legal analyst, Michael Coyne, explains why these were "very significant hearings," how they appear to have been informed by the Read case and what it would mean for the prosecution if the "incredibly incriminating searches" are thrown out as "fruit of the poisonous tree."
Brian Walshe is set to go to trial this year.
Hear analysis from NBC10 Boston's legal expert, Michael Coyne, on why the Walshe defense team may be closely watching the Karen Read playbook of law enforcement scrutiny, and how her retrial this spring could impact Walshe's trial in the fall.
There's a new judge overseeing the Ana Walshe murder case, and she's pushing to get it moving along faster — in fact, she set a trial date before the end of 2025. To better understand Judge Diane Freniere's approach to the Walshe case, we sat down with NBC10 legal analyst Michael Coyne, who pointed out that "time is a real thief" when it comes to testimony in murder trials.
He also shared what he thinks is the most damning evidence presented so far (it's not the infamous Google searches), and what the hold-up has been in the defense's request for evidence on the lead investigator that's tied to the Karen Read case.
In our latest episode, we dive into two updates in the Brian Walshe case — a lawsuit against Brian's mother for alleged damages to the home where Ana is believed to have been murdered in, and a change in the judge presiding over the criminal case.
We were in court, along with Brian Walshe, at his latest hearing, where his defense team moved to uncover records on embattled Massachusetts State Trooper Michael Proctor, the lead investigator in both the Walshe and John O'Keefe murder investigations.
