Worcester County AG Joe Early
More than 4,700 Worcester County defendants charged with operating under the influence of alcohol will receive letters in the mail saying they may be entitled to a new trial because of problems with breathalyzer evidence, announced Worcester County District Attorney Joseph D. Early Jr. on Wednesday.
“Breathalyzer tests administered between 2011 and 2018 and used in criminal trials were found to be inadmissible evidence by District Court Judge Robert Brennan. The decision came after some criminal defendants challenged the accuracy of the breathalyzer tests. The letters, from the Trial Court, were sent to OUI defendants in Worcester County this week,” said Early’s office.

It’s been more than a year since Westborough police Sgt. Jon Kalagher shot and killed a man who was stabbing his wife repeatedly during a domestic attack.
To this day, what gets to Kalagher the most is not shooting the suspect. It is what the victim and the neighbors went through before he arrived.
“The part that has got to me in the past year … is the woman and the neighbors and what they were doing in the 50 seconds as I was trying to get there,” Kalagher told the Daily News, his voice choked with emotion. “I just wanted to get into the arena and try to make a difference. I said to myself, ‘I have the tools and training, please let me get there in time.’ ”
