Howie Carr, apparently a columnist for the Herald on what he thinks of the prosecutor, police and City. I found it by accident. Now this is being blunt. These words are so hot, your eyes may get singed. Enjoy.

Good on him.

Calling out corruption and standing up for an innocent woman.

The title of his most recent book should tell you all you need to know about him.

But he sounds in the article like he is standing up for an innocent woman
who is being framed for murder by the well connected.

Even a jackass does the right thing every now and then.

And sometimes in Boston people talk like this guy.

I like to give credit where credit is due.

Even A holes can do the right thing once in a blue moon.

before making any decision about her guilt or innocence. I just wanted to point out how unsubtle his opinion was. It's opinion, not necessarily fact, but it is pretty funny and very pointed, if nothing else. As Irish_Dem pointed out, people don't write like that any more.
