I went to Dorchester Court yesterday to cover a murder arraignment, something I've done several times over the years in my role as a reporter/editor. Afterwards, I decided to seek out and observe the First Session, where the presiding judge is Hon. Serge Georges. (Thread)
I'd been thinking a lot recently about the back-and-forth debate surrounding the new DA Rachael Rollins and Gov. Baker's critique of her memo around criminal justice reform, etc. It was in that context that I wanted to sit-on Judge George's courtroom for a while and just observe.
