Overview

• Defense attorney Rosemary Scapicchio has filed a motion to dismiss Myles King’s 2021 murder charge, accusing prosecutors and Proctor of withholding Rule 14 materials including search warrants, BRIC data and inmate call records.
• A Norfolk Superior Court judge ordered defense teams limited, sealed review of Proctor’s investigative notes and phone logs to inform their arguments in King’s case.
• Proctor’s lawyer has argued that cross-examination should be confined to discovery issues in the King matter and should bar questions about his conduct in the Karen Read investigation.
• The upcoming hearing will also consider similar discovery requests from defense attorneys in the Jovani De Los Santos, Shawn Johnson and Brian Walshe murder cases.
• The dispute over access to Proctor’s files has intensified scrutiny of evidence transparency and prosecutorial practices within the Massachusetts State Police and the district attorney’s office.
