Spampinato says the three main issues currently facing Cambridge are the need for more job creation, more economic development and the need to cut the city budget...

To them it looks oafish, overgrown, hypocritical, rife with ineptitude and possibly--as some overwrought Americans insist on seeing it--downright wicked.

Conn will direct the jurors' attention to the murder of Kitty in particular, who he says got "lost in the shuffle" during the first trial. "Whether or not [the brothers] felt a threat from Jose," says Conn, "there was no reason to believe there was a threat from their mother...
