Boston Blotter: Death of an Inmate
--The Boston Police Department and the DA's Office are investigating the death of an inmate at the Suffolk County House of Correction. 41-year-old Darryl Lee Leslie died on New Year's Eve while being moved to maximum security because he was, according to a jail spokesman, "planning a violent attack." An autopsy is being performed. [Boston Globe]
--A 15-year-old who was shot in the stomach at a New Year's Eve party in New Bedford has since died. The AP reports, "Two 17-year-olds who were questioned about the incident were jailed Wednesday for allegedly lying to police." [Boston Herald]
--Moonie Moses, the man who was found guilty of raping two girls and a woman in 2002 and who attempted to defend himself in court, was sentenced to two consecutive life terms in prison. [Boston Herald]
--A man was caught driving the wrong way on Route 9 in Framingham on New Year's Eve. When police stopped him, he didn't even bother to pull over. It should not come as a surprise that police were "greeted by the strong smell of alcohol" and that the suspect admitted to having 12 or 13 beers before getting behind the wheel.
