Not Since Spider Retired From the Boston Garden Has Someone So Expertly Wielded a Broom as Toothless Tom Reilly
AG calls DA investigating deaths of contributor's daughters
By Glen Johnson, AP Political Writer | January 4, 2006
BOSTON --Attorney General Tom Reilly called the district attorney investigating a car crash that killed the daughters of a campaign contributor, telling him he did not have to release reports revealing whether the teenagers were drunk at the time.
In the aftermath of the call from Reilly, Worcester District Attorney John Conte has not provided copies of the girls' autopsy reports to local police, hampering their efforts to file charges of providing alcohol to a minor.
"I was certainly surprised by the involvement of the AG's office," Northborough Police Chief Mark Leahy told The Associated Press on Wednesday. "They don't ordinarily get involved in these matters."
