Claire's Guys in Boston and twenty eight degrees at six o'clock.
Good morning, I'm Charlie Burdjern. Here's what's happening, and well
snow is on its way right now.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
It looks like the early onset could be as early
as this Saturday night, and then it starts to depart
into Sunday late morning afternoons, so the timing's going to
be kind of tricky on this one.
Speaker 1 (00:28):
CBS News Boston's Melissa Andrew's got the full forecasts coming up.
Bryan Walsh's fate now in the hands of a jury.
Deliberations began yesterday in the case of the Cohasset man
accused of murdering and dismembering his wife. CBS News Boston's
Penny commit.
Speaker 3 (00:46):
Because you have a sudden unsected events that results in confusion.
Speaker 4 (00:57):
Jurors left to deliberate with two very different versions of
how Anna Walsh died on New Year's Day twenty twenty three.
The prosecution says her husband, Brian Walsh, premeditated her murder,
proven in part by allegedly lying to the couple's friend
at New Year's Eve about misplacing his phone.
Speaker 5 (01:15):
Allowed defended to be unavailable for two days.
Speaker 4 (01:19):
The defense arguing that Anna instead died an unexplained death
and Walsh then dismembered her body in a state of
panic in their basement, the only part of the home
where bloodstains were found.
Speaker 1 (01:30):
Nothing violence happened in that house. The jury deliberated for
a few hours before ending for the day yesterday. They
will return on Monday. A fire last night in Dorchester
at a multi family home at twenty Normandy Street. More
than eighty firefighters called in on a windy night to
keep the flames from spreading to other nearby buildings. All
(01:52):
of the occupants of the home got out safely. No
injuries reported. A base Date senator reacting to news that
the Trumpet medministration is investigating Boston housing policies over alleged
anti white bias, here's wbz'sm a Freedman.
Speaker 3 (02:09):
Senator Elizabeth Warren calling the investigation baseless. She says, instead
of addressing our nation's housing crisis, the Trump administration is
weaponizing the very civil rights laws they are trying to
dismantle to launch the investigation into Boston's efforts to build
more housing and bring down costs. The US Department of
Housing and Urban Development says Boston's affordable housing program may
have discriminated against white people by prioritizing people of color
(02:31):
instead of all low income residents, prompting the investigation. But
Senator Warren says that the Trump administration is serious about
addressing housing discrimination, it should respond to the mounting backlog
of pending civil rights complaints and reinstate federal funding for
fair housing enforcement. I'm Afraidman WBZ Boston's news radio Plus.
Speaker 1 (02:49):

a cloudy day, might see some flurries well south of
the city later in the day. Today a high thirty seven.
(03:10):
Now tonight the snow begins. We'll get one to three inches,
but again it's primarily south to Boston. The higher amounts
likely for the South coast, Cape and islands, and we'll
drop back to about twenty eight overnight tonight and then
tomorrow it's a brisk, cold day. We will see some
flurries early on and then clouds will break for sun
in the afternoon. Get to about thirty two for a high.
(03:31):
Tomorrow Monday we'll start with sun. We'll finish with clouds,
high only thirty and then Tuesday, another cold day with
sunshine high thirty five twenty eight. Right now in Boston,
that wind blowing at twelve miles per hour makes it
feel like just sixteen at six oh five. This all
started in China, then went to Indonesia, and then to Australia,
(03:51):
to Canada, and then to some cities in the United States, Chicago,
New York, and now a soft opening for Molly's Tea
