A Massachusetts prosecutor charged a blogger known as 'Turtleboy' with witness intimidation, and he and his lawyer argue he's protected by freedom of speech.
A controversial Massachusetts writer known as 'Turtleboy' faces several criminal charges, including witness intimidation, for his outspoken defense of a woman on trial for allegedly killing her boyfriend. Prosecutors allege Aidan Kearney sent 'harassing, threatening and intimidating' messages to witnesses and investigators in the criminal case against Karen Read, who is accused of running over John O'Keefe, a Boston Police officer.
Any suggestion that we’re desperately withholding evidence from the defense because we’re afraid as to what it might show is just adamantly ridiculous,' Norfolk Assistant District Attorney Adam Lally said during a September court appearance. He said evidence continues to be tested at a state crime lab. 'Once this sort of round of testing is completed, we will certainly pick those items up and make them available for counsel,' he added.
