...years old, listened attentively as Middlesex Superior Court Judge Christopher Muse began the proceedings. Seated next to Pring-Wilson was his lawyer E. Peter Parker, a graduate of Boston University Law School who now runs his own practice in Boston, and in front of them sat District Attorney Adrienne C. Lynch, a veteran prosecutor with 27 years of experience under her belt in Middlesex County. Yesterday marked the beginning of jury selection and the incipience of a trial set to last until...
...bandied about in Cambridge political debate. Now, the University embarks upon the largest expansion in its 371-year history, it is entering the world of politics across the river as well. Tuesday’s Boston City Council election pits Gregory J. Glennon, a 32-year-old assistant district attorney, against Mark S. Ciommo, a lifelong resident who has been active in community service. The winner will replace Boston City Councillor Jerry P. McDermott, who announced in May that he would not be seeking reelection. Last month, Harvard received approval from the city for a 589,000-square-foot science...
...gangster myth. In truth, crime kingpins tend to lead long lives, interrupted by a little jail time (Frank's life sentence was commuted to 15 years). It is also improved by the fact that Crowe's bumptious character comes to enjoy the man's company, even becoming his attorney when he leaves law enforcement.

Bush's nominee to be Attorney General, Judge Michael Mukasey, was a shoo-in until veteran Illinois Senator Dick Durbin asked him a deceptively simple question: Is waterboarding torture? Waterboarding, you may remember, is the practice of holding someone down and pouring water over his face until he thinks he's drowning. U.S. interrogators allegedly used some version of the technique on high-level terrorism suspects after 9/11. Current and former U.S. military leaders, human-rights organizations and prominent...
...money. Lucom's widow Hilda, 83, the frail matriarch of Panama's prominent Arias family (a clan that has produced two of Panama's Presidents), with the support of her children is battling to get the will declared invalid. They say the will's U.S. executor, Florida tax attorney Richard Lehman, concocted the charity donation so he could split the money with other Lucom cronies. Hilda's Panamanian lawyer, Hector Infante, known for political connections and tough tactics, has pressed criminal charges against Lehman--even accusing him of having euthanized Lucom. (That charge was dismissed.) Lehman has sued Hilda...
