MARSHFIELD STUDENT GUILTY ON ONE CHARGE IN SCHOOL MURDER PLOT:
Things are rotten in the state of Massachusetts.
There were some courtroom shenanigans in the conviction of Joe Nee. Originally the judge wanted to convict Nee on all three charges then things got weird…
Hours earlier, Judge Charles Grabau said that the prosecution had proven its case on all three charges against Nee. But Grabau changed his mind after hearing closing arguments.
After Grabau announced that he intended to find Nee guilty on all three charges, the 21-year-old’s family members began crying in the courtroom at Plymouth Superior Court. Nee hugged his mother to comfort her.
But defense attorney Thomas Dreschler interrupted the scene, objecting that the judge had not heard closing arguments. Grabau said there had been a misunderstanding and that he would reconsider his verdict after hearing from both sides.
Then Grabau only convicted Nee on one of the charges. I doubt Dreschler’s closing argument could have been that powerful to sway the judge into dropping two of the charges.
In my opinion everyone involved in handling this case from the judge, to the prosecution, to the defense, and especially Nee’s father. head of the Boston police union should be investigated.
