My latest for @TheAppeal:
James Carver spent 36 years in prison after he was convicted of setting one of the deadliest fires in #Massachusetts history. But after reviewing new scientific evidence, a judge set him free.

The judge who threw out Carver's convictions found that a fire investigator falsely testified at trial that there was physical evidence someone started the blaze with a flammable liquid like gasoline. No such proof existed.

The city of Boston is illegally stonewalling my request for documents related to #OperationCleanSweep. A quick thread: #mapoli#FOIA
Normally a records custodian must provide public records within 15 business days. If they can't, they can take up to 25 business days, but **still must provide a written explanation within 10**. #mapoli#FOIA
