Overview
- Michael Proctor filed a notice over the weekend withdrawing his Civil Service Commission appeal, canceling hearings that were set to resume this week.
- His attorney said the decision followed unspecified disclosures from the Norfolk District Attorney’s Office, without detailing what was provided.
- A federal judge authorized the Norfolk DA to share certain grand jury materials related to Proctor under seal with defense counsel, with access limited to case teams and destruction required after proceedings conclude.
- Prosecutors report an unexpectedly large extraction from Proctor’s personal phone—hundreds of thousands of items dating to 2013—and are conducting case-by-case review for discovery, including in the Brian Walshe matter.
- Walshe’s defense has listed Proctor as a potential witness; Walshe remains at Bridgewater State Hospital for a competency evaluation with a Nov. 18 trial date contingent on a finding of competence.
