Boston Blotter: SJC Takes Hard Line Against Nude Protest
--According to the Herald, the Commonwealth's Supreme Judicial Court ruled that, "Dancing nude in Harvard Square to protest the commercialization of Christmas is not a constitutionally protected act of self-expression," overturning a decision by a lower court to throw out a case against a local woman. The Herald doesn't have much background information about the defendant, except what they could obtain from a vague MySpace profile. [Boston Herald]
--Police are investigating the dissapearance of an 81-year-old Waltham woman: "Jean is black, stands 5 feet 4, and weighs 180 pounds. Her pocketbook was found on Beacon Street recently, but there has been no other sign of her." [Boston Globe]
--The Natick man who infamously beat another father to death at a youth hockey practice in 2002 was denied parole from his involuntary manslaughter conviction. [Boston Herald]
All charges alleged until proven under law.

Apparently not as "infamous" as you think. The parole board may be in Natick (?) but Giunta was from North Reading.
I apologize for the sloppy mistake--which I also got an e-mail about. Thanks for correcting that.
I can't believe the SJC MORONS who think nudity is an offense punishable by jail time. 3/4 of Harvard square would have been jailed in the 70s protests of the Vietnam war. Does it depend on whose naked? Did the girls in the bunny outfits in January (whose breasts were bare) get arrested and jailed? (They were protesting what exactly?)
