After reviewing the Commonwealth’s Statement of the Case in the death of Enrique Delgado-Garcia, my conclusion is straightforward and always has been since I’ve been reporting on this case: while the unauthorized sparring on September 11th and the continued sparring on September 12th are key factors, it is not the biggest part of this story.

It's been 70 days since Trooper Enrique Delgado-Garcia was pronounced dead at UMass Worcester following what has been described as a "medical crisis" during a boxing training exercise at the Massachusetts State Police Academy.

Today was a long day. I started off at the Karen Read hearing in Dedham, MA, where I had the chance to sit in court and see special prosecutor Hank Brennan in action for the first time. He seemed to make several questionable moves, and his arguments felt a bit desperate at times.

As I write this, it has been 43 days without any updates from the Massachusetts State Police, appointed Special Investigator David Meier, or the mainstream media regarding the incident and death involving Trooper Enrique Delgado-Garcia at the Massachusetts State Police Academy in New Braintree on September 12th.
