The prosecution's opening in the Matthew Farwell trial put one sentence in front of the jury that changes how you read everything else. Sgt. John Fanning, the supervisor over Sandra Birchmore's death investigation, allegedly told Farwell's twin brother on February 11th, 2021, that the death was a suicide, nothing was criminal, and they needed the case like they needed a bullet in the head. William Farwell told the FBI that's what he heard. Fanning's unit closed the file without a search warrant. Trooper Dunne says Fanning chose the unrecorded parking lot interview. Fanning later supervised the Norfolk CPAC unit through the Karen Read case, where jurors acquitted and a trooper was fired. Bob Motta on what a supervisor is for and what this one allegedly did with the job. Farwell is charged with killing Sandra and her unborn child. The defense says suicide. Trial continues in Boston.
