Proctor became the lead investigator after state police were called in because Albert has a brother with the Canton Police Department. But Proctor's own connection with other witnesses were called into question at the trial. Proctor acknowledged that he is close with his sister, Courtney, who is friends with Julie Albert, the homeowner's sister-in-law.

The trooper came under fire after testifying about texts he sent during the investigation to friends, family members and colleagues, including superiors with the state police.

In them, he called Read a "whack job" and a "c***," made disparaging remarks about medical conditions, and said he had found "no nudes so far" when going through her phone.

When a friend said they were "sure the owner of the house will receive some s***," Proctor replied, Nope, homeowner is a Boston cop, too."

Outside the courthouse, cheers erupted from Read’s pink-clad supporters in a driving rain

Judge Beverly Cannone declared a mistrial in the Karen Read murder case Monday after jurors said they remained deadlocked following nearly a week of deliberations.

“To continue to deliberate would be futile,” the jury foreman wrote in a note to the judge. In a note earlier Monday, the foreman wrote that the panel was “deeply divided.”

“Despite our commitment to the duty entrusted to us, we find ourselves deeply divided by fundamental differences in our opinions and state of mind,” the juror wrote. “The divergence in our views are not rooted in a lack of understanding or effort, but deeply held convictions that each of us carry ultimately leading to a point where consensus is unattainable. We recognize the weight of this admission and the implications it holds.”

Reports back in January claimed that the PIF was targeting to buy Formula 1 from commercial rights holders Liberty Media and planning to pay up to $20-Billion.

Gotta say the investigative journalism on this one left a lot to be desired, like investigating and journalism. Anyone can write "hey I saw this thing on Instagram, might be real might not thanks for the click."

Gonna be real mad if this ends up making it harder to get hot stuff. Don't push your limits folks, but don't restrict others.

That's just not true. Bankruptcy courts claw back from 3rd parties all the time.

They just removed restrictions for Brits that were in the UK between 1980-1996 too, so I guess they're just getting around to opening things up and this was on the list.
