Overview

• The Massachusetts Civil Service Commission hearing begins Tuesday at 9:30 a.m. in Boston and is scheduled to continue Wednesday.
• State Police dismissed Proctor in March for unsatisfactory performance, on-duty alcohol use, and sending demeaning messages about homicide suspect Karen Read.
• Proctor’s legal team is seeking extensive records of other troopers’ discipline to argue he was treated more harshly than peers for similar violations.
• Legal analyst Todd McGhee says Proctor must demonstrate disparate discipline to win reinstatement given his sworn admissions about misconduct.
• Proctor led the John O’Keefe death investigation, his crude texts surfaced during Read’s trials and a federal review, and while no federal charges were brought in the death, a grand juror pleaded guilty to leaking information.
