📰 News we're reading
1. Cohasset Fire and EMS response options under review (cohassetanchor.com) — Cohasset officials are weighing whether to build a new fire substation on King Street alongside the upcoming police station to improve emergency response times. Current fire and EMS averages meet national standards, but a second station could trim response by up to 90 seconds in some areas, prompting a community discussion about costs, coverage in North Cohasset and Beechwood, and long-term priorities. 
2. DA thanks jurors, investigators for work in Brian Walshe case (wcvb.com) — Cohasset residents are being singled out for praise as Norfolk District Attorney Michael Morrissey thanks Cohasset Police and state investigators for their work on the Brian Walshe murder conviction. He highlights the exhaustive forensic search through dumps, stores, and other locations, and credits the jury and trial team for securing a rare first-degree verdict without a recovered body.
3. Defense faced uphill battle against gruesome evidence in Brian Walshe murder trial, experts say (masslive.com) — Cohasset’s connection to the Brian Walshe murder case is front and center, from searches of his Cohasset home to praise for Cohasset Police Sgt. Harrison Schmidt’s persistence. Legal experts explain why gruesome, largely circumstantial evidence convinced jurors to quickly return a first-degree murder verdict, which now sends Walshe to life in prison without parole.
4. Cohasset residents relieved after Brian Walshe verdict: "It's really traumatized the community." (cbsnews.com) — Cohasset residents are expressing relief after a jury convicted Brian Walshe of first-degree murder in the death of his wife Ana, whose disappearance deeply shook the town nearly three years ago. Locals describe the case as traumatizing but say the verdict helps them begin to move forward, while keeping Ana’s family and children in their thoughts as sentencing approaches.
