“With most of its key functions intact but its electrical activity quenched by anesthesia, the brain hovers between life and death. As it metabolizes experimental drugs, sensors record its reactions, capturing hundreds of data points on its cells, proteins, and physiology.”

I know they just did a Massachusetts case, but it got me to thinking about a bonkers case that happened about 20 years ago in the town where I spent my adolescent/teen years.
It kind of ticks off all the "crazy" boxes: lame-ass white supremacist gang, showing off the severed hand of one of the victims at a party....and just the fact that this happened in Hingham, which is a SUPER expensive, very old school New England town (there were still affordable, blue collar neighborhoods when I lived there, but that's long gone now).
Anyway, thought it might be of interest to peeps here.
Masshole here. This is a great little book about the history of the Combat Zone in Boston.

Had a very trying day at work yesterday, and the weather was nice, so it was ICE CREAM FOR DINNER.
