I'm just repeating what was speculated on the podcast. But you're right - that's exactly the counter argument: Matthew had nothing to gain while the majority of the 33 others (that's the number of people said to have known beforehand what Charles Stuart was up to) remained silent.

The other problem is bullets can travel which turns a "safe" shooting (If one can call any shooting "safe") into something far more serious. True. But while they believed Charles Stuart played a part in the crime, some also thought someone else did shoot him. This has led to speculation Matthew Stuart downplayed his own involvement and was the actual shooter. I doubt the full story will ever be known. Most of the people around during that time are now either dead or no longer wish to speak about what happened that night.

There's also a podcast called Murder in Boston that's a supplement to the documentary. On December 20, 2023 the current mayor of Boston issued a formal apology to the wrongly accused men and their families as well as the Black community of Boston as a whole. Something Carol DiMaiti Stuart's family - who lost a daughter and sister, grandson and nephew, and were nowhere at fault - did years ago.

That Detective Dunn was a piece of work. He was 100% sure of the who, what, why, and how of Carol DiMaiti Stuart's murder when William Bennett was the Boston police main suspect. But when evidence, a confession from the brother, and friends of Charles Stuart admitting they knew Stuart was looking for a hitman, suddenly Dunn is all "Will we ever know who killed this poor woman?" Don't get me started on Dunn’s assertion Boston doesn't exist because it's not the Boston he grew up in. The Hallelujah! following that ridiculous comment was perfect.

It was one of the most bizarre introductions to the In Memoriam segment I can remember. Also, they seemed to miss a lot of daytime folk who died, but maybe that's just me. Some of the highlighted show/role choices chosen for the actors was wonky. Andrea Evans cited for Passions instead of One Life to Life? Come on!

Oh, I missed hearing that. Thank you.

Thanks @JustHereForFood! ETA Update: Just read Andre Braugher died of lung cancer. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/brooklyn-nine-nine-actor-andre-braugher-died-lung-cancer-rep-said-rcna129790

I tried but either only the text would copy or a message appeared saying:“Embedded tweet”. Maybe a more tech savvy poster can do it. Do you have JavaScript turned off? If so, turn it on, refresh, and see if the full message appears.

I remember this case and was suspicious from the beginning. Then again, I'm always suspicious when the weaker person is outright killed while the stronger one sustains injuries that are survivable. I wish the two police officers originally assigned the case but removed due to being skeptical had been interviewed. Caes like these always has someone like Dunn who refuses to accept they were wrong.

I’m shocked at the death of Andre Braugher. R.I.P. and may the angels take him into paradise.

What!!!

I'm not surprised. Back in 2019, I posted how The Estate of James Dean granted permission for the long dead Dean to be CGI/Deepfaked and "co-star" in a film named Finding Jack. I don't know what happened since then. Some say the movie was delayed due to COVID. Others claim it was outright canceled.

🎵 And when I rolled with the punches, I got knocked on the ground, BY ALL THIS BULLS**T going down . . .

She took Peter Bergman's old "I'm not a doctor but I play one on TV" commercials seriously.

The American Society of Cinematographers tribute to Victor Kemper: and John Bailey:

I have always loved her appearances on original recipe Law & Order. When I saw Sternhagen’s picture, I immediately thought of the Law and Order episode where she hired a hit man to off the man she believed killed her son R.I.P. Ms. Sternhagen.
